... valentine blogging party time!

my best blog decision of 2013… joining in on the fun of the

2013Valentine Blogging Party

with these wonderful ladies:

lauren @ From My Grey Desk Blog

casey leigh @ The Weigands

nicole @ The Style Hatch

alycia @ Crowley Party

ashlee @ Growing Up a Thomas

and of course, my lovely ‘blogger match-up’…

iris @ Fancy Pants

iris is a hard-working, loving, honest mama… and mighty crafty!

she put such thought into the little package she sent my way…

one evening, after a loooooong day at the office i came home to

a perfectly wrapped package all the way from Staten Island, NY

and i have to say, the contents filled my heart & made my day.

all the gifts were hand-made with love by miss iris herself J

first, some ADORABLE note cards…

because who DOESN’T need a mustache note card to leave love notes for your hubbi?

next, the coziest of cozy knit beret!

this chunky, warm goodness is just too cute!

you like?

and then… as IF it could get ANY better…

there was this:

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE.

what a thoughtful gift!!  lady OBVIOUSLY read up on ‘our rustic wedding’

and mixed my love of wood with my love of hubbi

(get your mind out of the gutter)

iris -- thank you, thank you, thank you!

and happy valentines day to you & yours

i’m so happy i took part in this swap

i really enjoyed connecting through the blogging world

and totally loved being crafty on my gifts to miss iris – hope you enjoy!
