    I overheard my wife telling a friend that she was going to recycle a card from a previous year.

    Apparently, I'll never know.

    'Free' photo book from here:

    just pay the postage. I've used them before for photos and a book, and the quality's decent. They're obviously hoping that you'll spend more while you're on the site / app
  • I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but I love doing little arts and crafts. I'm making my own Valentine's card this year using this tutorial: http://smile.findmeagift.co.uk/how-to/how-to-make-a-valentines-card/

    Bet you wish you had thought to hang onto the card you gave her last year so you could do the same :money: ;):p

    My husband bought me the same card last year that he'd bought a couple of years earlier. I thought it looked vaguely familiar, when I put it away in my treasure box I found the old one!

    No Valentines card for me today but i dont mind. He brings me a cup of coffee every morning before he leaves for work without being asked to.

    I'll probably get a lipstick or something out of him the weekend.:rotfl:

    It hacks me off when he misses my birthday though.

  • simple cheap idea I did one year, a pack of heart shaped post it notes, which she discovered after I had already left for work, eg, open the curtains in bedroom I have covered the window in them with little messages, then on bathroom mirror, down the stairs, on her lunch box in the fridge, in her bag, in car etc etc
    I'm a greenfield sight for sore eyes, and sore eyes are just needing the light, the shapes, and the shadows of the space we share, before it splits into Thin Air.

    I might have a go at making one before she gets home.

    Hmmm..

    Looming work deadline vs Valentine card.

    Ashamed to say I forgot to buy a card:o


    I was watching First Dates late last night and Fred said something about the nicest thing you could give someone is... 'just a card'. My jaw hit the floor and I ran upstairs apologising to the BF who'd already gone to bed.


    I did however sit and make him a lovely one with a heart, ribbon and bow (and silver thread), paper you can fray (forgot the name) and a sort of gauze. He said it was much nicer than getting a shop card. (I make cards so had everything.)


    I really should've styled it out and just said I'd planned to make it all along :p
