Valentine’s Day Cards For Those Who Don’t Take Life Too Seriously

February 5, 2018 By Nicole Longendyke

If you haven’t noticed by now, I love ETSY!!! It’s my go-to place for gift ideas, sewing projects, and just handcrafted quality items! I bought my wedding band on ETSY! For $10! And it’s Rose Gold and made to order! So, no surprise, I turned to Etsy for some Vday insp. The Office ones jumped out at me… hubby and I are constantly restarting the series on Netflix! Also, cards are under rated. I mean, I don’t necessarily keep my cards because they say “I love you, have a great day”.. but these gems say something a little different 🙂 Enjoy 🙂

Now that you’ve recovered from the thanksgiving whirlwind, you can unwind with some shopping! And wine! 🙂 It’s THE best feeling to get all of your gifts purchased, wrapped, and thrown (literally) under the tree… the stop to make this year is not in a mall… but online. On Etsy! I’ve bought many things on here (even my wedding dress… yea!) There are so many talented folks on the internet now wanting to sell you their stuff! So pour yourself a glass of cheap vino, and pull out your credit card. You’re about to spend lots of money!! 🙂 [Read more…]
