Get Creative with Valentine’s Layouts

Love Day has come and gone, though the memories will linger for a lifetime, especially if you scored a serious sparkler and a marriage proposal on February 14th.  Even if your sweetie didn’t get down on one knee this Valentine’s, you shouldn’t let the holiday go by without crafting at least a single page layout detailing the day’s highlights.  However, rather than employing the same ol’ trite scrapbooking techniques, consider getting a little creative with the following ideas: Choose a Theme:  So, you didn’t get the five-carat diamond tennis bracelet you had your heart set on for Valentine’s Day.  Surely, … Continue reading →

Talking might be, but actually exchanging information in a manner that both the sender and receiver are on the same wavelength is not. The reason communication isn’t easy is because we are emotional beings. Think about what needs to happen for your modem or Internet connection to successfully swap packets. You need a clear connection; even a small amount of line noise can slow down the reception or garble the transmission completely. Line noise occurs between people when our emotions get tangled up. Whether the emotion is … Continue reading →

Do You Hate Telling Your Spouse No?

It doesn’t matter what the question is, but more often as not, when we have to tell our spouse no, we don’t like having to do it.

Or even worse, no we can’t go to that event or this one because we’ve got other obligations here or there. Saying No is Hard When you’re the one to say no – you feel like … Continue reading →

Love Notes: Do You Know How to Love Him?

I’m very lucky and while that may sound like a broad statement, it’s also very true. I’m extremely lucky in the fact that I can send flowers and chocolates and teddy bears to my husband at Valentine’s and he loves to get them. Over the years, I’ve sent him a dozen red roses with an adorable stuffed black bear wrapped around the vase. He still has the bear. Another year, I sent him a dozen deluxe chocolate covered strawberries in a rose box arrangement. Those were a huge hit. He even saved me two that were dipped in dark chocolate … Continue reading →

Your mate not be as creative or as expressive as you are when it comes to such things, and may feel a little put off. Make sure he or she knows that you don’t … Continue reading →
