I woke this morning to a blustery wind blowing outside of my window. The kind of morning that makes you want to crawl right back under the covers and fall back to sleep. But with a Golden Retriever puppy woofing in that urgent voice, I pulled myself up and stumbled to the door to let her outside. She took one sniff of the freezing air and promptly changed her mind. With much encouragment she decided to go ahead and venture out staying only as long as necessary. Once awake I thought about the day ahead. A perfect day for homemade beef soup. But just like the nursery rhyme "Old Mother Hubberd" my cupboards were bare. So after a quick trip to the local grocery store, I had a big pot of beef soup simmering on the stove. Oh what to do with the rest of this blustery afternoon?? I could take down the Christmas decorations or create something fun in my scrapbook studio. With Valentines Day on the way, and my little shop at Sweetpeas needing to be replenished, it was not a hard decision to make----create!! After gathering my supplies, I set to work. The result.............
I had such fun with these little notebooks at Christmas I thought I might make a few for Valentines Day. The images are vintage valentines that I scanned except for the the little bluebird. I borrowed her from the wonderful flickr site belonging to Elizabeth of Creative Breathing.
Then I created these Valentine peek a boo notes. I love the colors of Valentines Day---so sweet and romantic. I hope you all are snuggled safe and warm today enjoying the peacefulness of a cozy Sunday afternoon.

I have had a request to share the vintage Valentine images that I used for the little altered notebooks. I have added the images. Just click on the image to enlarge. Happy creating. I would love to see how you use them :)
