Happy What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday, dear friends! Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and it’s one of favorite days of the year! Not only do I love the fact that we have a whole day set aside to celebrate love and romance – but this year, I’ll be celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary as well!
Did you know that over 10% of all proposals occur on Valentine’s Day? (It’s the most popular day of the year to get engaged!) And that the most commonly given “gift” to celebrate Valentine’s Day is a card? (Surprisingly, the least popular gift given on Valentine’s Day is jewelry – go figure!)
To celebrate the occasion, I created a romantic card for all of the new couples to be!
Magellan is celebrating too – with a most unusual toy! You can read all about Magellan’s new toy and see the exclusive photos at this week’s Wordless Wednesday party!
By the way, if you’re thinking he’s looking a little large in this photo, you’re right. Our 4 ½ month old kitten has doubled in size in the past 7 weeks. Today he weighed in at 7.8 pounds!
Have a wonderful week. May your Valentine’s Day be filled with love!

I always visit my neighbors first.
Do I see a desk under the kitties?
Thanks for the snoop around.

Yes it is – but between cats, books, and toys, there isn’t much of one to see these days!
That is really a growth spurt and he is gorgeous.
I wonder if most of the valentine proposals are to the person they live with. Times have changed!!!!

This is so wonderful…Nice, simple and elegant. Love it! So grateful you joined our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday this week. Leaving you with God’s Word in Psalm 34:8 which says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.” Hugs always…

Thank you so much Jo Ann for stopping by and for sharing such a lovely Scripture with us!
Just a precious kitten. They learn to make home “their” place ! I love Valentine’s day fun. I did mine so early this year, but got them in the mail yesterday. Good luck with the challenges with your pretty card.

Yes, Magellan has fit right in with our family!
He loves to be in the middle of EVERYTHING – a very sociable, loving and active cat!

He is just growing long and fast!

HI!! Only my second WOYWDW this week. Love your card, the background paper is beautiful. I have an 8 year old cat that looks just like that and he weighs a whopping 19 lbs. beware!! But, he is a LOVE.

Welcome to WOYWW! Tsunami – Magellan’s half brother – is 23 pounds – and based on weights at the same age – Magellan might be even larger!
Would love to see your gorgeous cat. If you have photos, please share them with us at Wordless Wednesday – and leave a note so that I drop by!
oops that would be #90 at WOYWDW
🙂

We are so glad you chose to play along with our February “Love/Valentine” Challenge, over on the LEJ Designs Challenge Blog.
What a lovely clean and simple card. The minimal colours work wonderfully and I really like all your layers.
I hope you will pop back each month, and play along with our future monthly challenges.

Oh, what a beautiful card, and your kitty is just darling! What interesting statistics about Valentine’s Day! So glad you’ve joined us this week for the ODBD Shining the Light challenge! Hugs!
What a cute kitty. Who would have thought jewelry is the least favorite or popular as a gift for Valentine’s Day. Brigita #88
