 Happy Friday!

Well, Valentine’s Day is coming up next week and that means Bacon Hearts! I originally made these guys in 2011…. you know: Valentine’s on a budget. Best way to my hubby’s heart: bacon hearts. AND, last year I made these AHgain (because… bacon) and popped them on top of some chocolate cupcakes! That made them about a billion times better! I’m pretty sure I’ll be making these next Thursday, too.

Today I wanted to share a few of my favorite Valentine’s ideas and DIYs with you. Maybe it will inspire you to get crafty this weekend? I hope so! <3

P.S. My birthday giveaway is still going on! Good luck! 

Last week me and Jenni wandered on over to the mall. APParently it was the big sale day of Microsoft’s new tablet, Surface. I’m not normally that big into talking about tech stuff, but this little thing seems pretty awesome. Last January I switched over from a PC to my Apple laptop. I ALSO have an iPad and an iPhone. Sooooo, I was pretty surprised by how neat this little thing is. There were quite a few features on it that I’d LOVE to see my iPad do. Pretty much: the Surface seems like a little piece of heaven for a blogger/illustrator.

I left our little demo wondering if I’d switch back into the PC world. Then, I started to think…. what about viruses? My PC always had a virus. Always. This tablet actually has Windows running on it. Can it get viruses? I don’t know. I’ve heard the new Windows is pretty amazing, but I’m still not 100% convinced. That would be my ONLY drawback to switching over to the Surface. That’s it.

Ok, I want to know… have you heard about this thing? What do you think. Are you a diehard PC person, or are you all about Apple?

Annnnnd, here are some links I loved this week:
