I think I must be in a lovey mood....I just changed my blog background to more of a Valentiney (I know, not really a word) one and I'm blogging about a Valentine's Day gift. Side note here, people.....I
HATE Valentine's day. I personally think it's one of the dumbest holidays ever. But that's okay, I'm here to help you out. Anyway, while happily pursuing my favorite crafting and misc. blogs, I happened to look at Love Actually. I don't know if you've ever looked at this blog, but it's fabulous (it's under my fav's if you'd like to do a little blog stalking of your own!) She has some pretty awesome ideas on not only dating and romance, but dating and romance on a budget! What's not to love?? Anywhoo.....one of her ideas for a Christmas gift was to enroll your significant other in a date of the month club. Basically you get all sorts of creative and come up with twelve dates to do through the year. You then scrapbook, download, etc. a page that has Jan, Feb. March (you get the idea, right?) The lucky man then gets to decide what month he wants for the different activities. After making his selections, you get the list back and take care of the rest. I did this for the bubs and he LOVED it, really, I promise. He pretty much sat down the next day and wrote down what he wanted to do for each month. So, here's a copy of my dates....just warning you, for some reason (probably because I was tired) they're kind of blurry. They're also, well, kind of, well, just read them, you'll understand!
Good luck on yours! And remember, they don't have to be anything big and extravagant. Just something for a nice date out (or in, wink, wink!) for you and your hunny. In fact, on three of mine (April, August & Oct) they were dates already planned in advance! We're seeing the Lion King in August (ahh, I love Broadway productions!) every October we go to see Thriller and we're going to see Muse in April (ahhhh! I'm soooo excited for that one!) How perfect is that?? Oh, and if you want help with ideas, let me know. I had a blast creating mine!
