Hand Crafted by Sara: Happy Belated Valetines Day!

I can't believe I missed it! It all started a couple of weeks ago. My husband and I had gone out for dinner and stopped by Best Buy to check out e-readers on our way home. While we were out we decided to check Borders to look at the Kindle and then Barnes and Nobles to check out the Nook. At some point during the all browsing around he let on that he had been wanting to buy me an e-reader for Valentines Day! (Lucky me!!) We were really undecided until we walked into Barnes and Nobles... there to greet us as soon as we came in the door was a Nook Color display. We walked over to the display and fell in love! With the Nook... he and I were obviously already in L♥O♥V♥E haha! We walked out that night with not one but two Nook Colors, we bought them for each other for Valentines Day. So it is easy to see how I forgot all about Valetines Day since I got my valentine a couple of weeks ago.... right!?!

On top of that my in-laws arrived Saturday from the Netherlands and we have been very preoccupied with them. Which is going to be my excuse for missing the Mojo Monday challenge yesterday morning. Usually I check the blog right after I get home from taking my kids to school, but yesterday I went to the grocery store to get the ingredients for dinner last night (spaghetti with meatballs... YUM!!) Then after I put the groceries away and cut up the fruit for lunch and helped my in-laws book a little trip to Chicago it was lunch time already! So after lunch I was checking my email for the hotel reservation confirmation for my in-laws and what did I see?? The Mojo Monday challenge... sitting right there in my in box. So I ran over to my desk and got busy right away. It was when I was choosing my sentiment that it dawned on me that it was Valentine's Day. I'll admit I freaked out a little because I hadn't gotten my kids a valentine yet and it was almost time to pick them up from school! So I finished the card I was working on, rushed out the door, went to the store to shop for valentines, cards (no time to make them!), candy, a gift bag... sheesh, it is exhausting just remembering yesterday LOL! I rushed to pick up the kids, got home, helped my son apply for a summer job at Cedar Point, started dinner, finished preparing for a class I have tonight, ate dinner, cleaned the kitchen watched a movie with the in-laws, who were fast asleep 15 minutes after it started (Lucky them! Jetlag...) then finally went to bed myself. When I got up this morning I was surprised to see my Mojo Monday card sitting right there on the desk where I left it in my mad rush, amidst all the clutter of spontaneous card making.
I made this card for my husband... I am sure he won't mind getting it a day late :)

Happy belated Valetine's Day! Thanks for stopping by!
