Here's another idea adapted from something I found on Pinterest. It was relatively easy, although a bit trickier than I expected. I wanted mine to be round so I used 8 pieces of double sided scrapbook paper.
You'll need:
- 8 pieces of double sided scrapbook paper, cut to 11x2 inches
- adhesive of some kind...I used glue dots
- ribbon
Fold each piece of paper in half.
Attach a few glue dots or other adhesive to one end and fold each end inward to create a heart.
Once every piece of paper is a heart, lay out the hearts in a circular pattern with the sides touching.
Then remove one heart at a time, place one glue dot on each side touches the other heart, place heart back in the same spot, attaching it to the heart next to it.
Repeat this process until all hearts are attached. Then take a 1.5 feet piece of ribbon, and slide it between 2 of the hearts and tie at end.
Then count 3 hearts over and do the same thing. Hang and enjoy!
So, I wanted to share with you how to make one, but I didn't take enough "how to" photos the first time, so I made another one to give away!
Here's how to enter:

We don't really have any traditions. We don't really go out since it is so crowded {and we don't want to pay a sitter} so we usually cook and watch a movie and stay in. Simple and yet I love it.

We always give each other cards, sometimes Terry will bring home flowers.....but we always let each other know that there could never be anyone as perfect for each other. (sappy, but true)

We always try to have a special dinner at home with the kids on February 14th. Then on February 15th, we have a romantic dinner out when it is not so crowded.
