I made a quickie art heart to celebrate that I love you. ❤️
It took 20 minutes ! For real, you were expecting a masterpiece in that kind of time ??? ha ha
Do you celebrate or acknowledge Valentine's Day?
I have celebrated it in the past. Celebrate maybe sounds more exciting than I mean.
I am not a high maintenance woman when it comes to the male/female relationships. I never had to have "the works" for the holidays (ok, maybe a little more at Christmas 😊). Is Valentine's really a holiday? I mean, nobody gets a paid day off for it... right ? Anyway, I suppose I did like being acknowledged when I was in a relationship or marriage, just because it was loud and splattered all over the place at least a month in advance, but a well thought out card, handmade or bought, was enough to say you thought of me in a special way.
Sure, if man did more, flowers or candy or a nice meal out, or something else out of the norm, that was all icing on the cake, but nobody would get a relationship "ding" if there was a card, a snug hug and a good long kiss.
Sufficiently acknowledged in my book. 💙
I've been single over 20 years. I've spent some time with a nice man or two from time to time, but nothing serious. I have never felt left out or sad on Valentine's because it is just me. Now if I want something Valentiney, I buy it for myself....LOL.... as you can tell from my last couple of posts. I do spoil me, but I'm totally worth it.
For holidays other than Christmas, I don't keep a lot of holiday decor. Except for a small string of heart lights and one other string of 3 bigger hearts, neither of which I put up this year, this is about it for Valentine's Day. I gave it a little corner on one of my tables. The other side has winter doodads. The larger red heart on the springy looking base is a lamp. It looks right cheery lit up at night. A few of the other little pieces, I mostly acquired along the way to use at my desk at work, when I use to have to go somewhere besides my spare bedroom to work.
I made a B & W of the little art piece just for the fun of it. The dashes coming out of the center top look kind of pineapple'ish....or maybe there is an apple stem.
I hope you all have a very fine Valentine's Day. Me? I will be working across the room here and maybe eating some of my favorite candy hearts while I work.
