You forgot all about Valentine's Day and now must come up with an extra special momento to pacify your beloved. Or you are sitting home alone with no way to celebrate V-day. In either case, it's crafting time! You can recycle things you probably already have to make Valentine's Day trinkets. You can start by <a href="http://thelongthread.com/?p=255">making a card with scrap yarn</a>, or from <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.0e0eb51a2e6b5ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=266a6e8590835110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&autonomy_kw=valentine's%20day%20crafts&rsc=image_14">wrapping paper</a>. You can make <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=247280.0">gift bows </a> or a <a href="http://www.vintageimagecraft.com/heart_basket.html">heart-shaped candy basket</a> from recycled magazines, and a <a href="http://belladia.typepad.com/crafty_crow/2008/12/how-to-make-a-r.html">gift bag from a newspaper</a>. You can make a <a href="http://www.vintageimagecraft.com/letter-box.html">love letter box from an old box</a>. The kids or the artist in your life might like to get <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=4297c137bf22f010VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&autonomy_kw=recycled%20crayons%20heart&rsc=image_1">heart-shaped crayons</a>, made from stubby old crayons. <br /><br />If you've got nice former Valentine's Day souvenirs sitting around, you can use the old candy boxes to make a <a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/02/recycled_valentines_candy_box.html">picture frame</a> or a <a href="http://www.vintageimagecraft.com/valentine-clock.html">Valentine clock</a>, or make <a href="http://www.designmom.com/uploaded_images/Picture-2-794893.png">Valentine</a> <a href="http://www.vintageimagecraft.com/dangle.html">mobiles</a> from old cards. You can make <a href="http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf80635563.tip.html">heart shaped pillows from old linens</a>, <a href="http://www.craftelf.com/Craft_elf_Valentine_Heart_Napkin_ring.htm">napkin rings out of cardboard tubes</a>, or <a href="http://www.craftelf.com/Craft_elf_Valentine_heart_vase_candle_holder.htm">plain old glass jars to make vases</a>. If you cherish memories of your exes, you can <a href="http://www.homebysunset.com/home_by_sunset/2008/02/make-a-valentin.html">decorate with your old cards</a>. Or, like artist Gila Rayberg, you can make <a href="http://mosaicartsource.wordpress.com/2009/02/14/mosaic-hearts-happy-valentines-day-mosaic-artist-gila-rayberg-florida-golf-coast/">mosaic Valentines</a>. <small>If none of these ideas inspire you, you could just take some advice from irrepressible romantic Jean Teasdale, who has lots of creative ideas for how to celebrate February 14th, <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/node/25843">with</a> or <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/node/37292">without</a> a sweetheart.</small>post:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79173Sat, 14 Feb 2009 17:51:11 -0800orange swancraftscraftingcreativerecyclingvalentinesdayvalentinesmoasicJeanTeasdaleGilaRaybergrecyclingsewingupcyclingBy: jamstigator

Well, the woman made me filet mignon for a Valentine's Day dinner. For her, I got a signed photo of one of her favorite musicians, and I got myself a CGC 9.8 Night Of The Living Death The Beginning comic signed by George Romero. Because, well, I spell love Z-O-M-B-I-E-S.comment:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79173-2452997Sat, 14 Feb 2009 18:18:13 -0800jamstigatorBy: orme

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
