Finished Layout: Valentine's Day

OK, so I realize that Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and I promise you that I'm not a full year behind in my scrapbooking. I also realize that if I were a year or more behind, it would not be a problem, seeing as many of my customers and scrapbooking friends are working on projects with pictures that are several (or many) years old. But I digress.

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday, and it's unfortunate that it has been reduced to being called a "Hallmark holiday" or that single women think that they have to boycott it. I've always celebrated Valentine's Day, regardless of my relationship status. It's a great time to show the people you love that, well, you love them!


Scott and I, early in our relationship, decided to ditch the idea of trying to go out on Valentine's Day, and created our own tradition at home. Each year, we cook a nice meal together and watch an old, romantic movie that neither of us have seen (preferably a classic, but we might eventually venture into the nostalgic 80's romantic comedies, we'll see).

In 2010, we actually made it out of the house to see a matinee of the movie "Valentine's Day," because we (i.e. *I*) couldn't resist. Then we bought a copy of "My Fair Lady" and made a great dinner of chicken pot pie with homemade fondue for dessert. It was wonderful!


And the real reason I'm just getting around to posting this layout? I don't like the journaling I did on this one. I tried something new, didn't love it. But I VERY rarely (if ever) re-do a layout once it's done, so I'm leaving it. I love the papers on this one, it's just the journaling that bugs me. *shrug*
