Happy Valentine's Day! I'm linking up with Cindy at Live A Colorful Life blog for her Really Random Thursday. Today, I'm doing an "I {Heart}..." edition.....stuff I love. I mean, it is Valentine's Day, after all! :-)
I {heart} this video. Funny and informative. If you're a woman, you should watch it. I laughed so hard, because this feels like my life (minus the heart attack--I hope). But it really will help me remember the signs of heart attack in women (far better than reading about them!).
I {heart} vintage toys. We were in Goodwill the other day dropping something off, and I saw this. Do you remember the Barbie Friend Ship?! I showed it to Sweet Pea and told her I used to have one. She thought it was about the most awesome thing ever and wanted to buy it with her allowance money. You see the $25 price tag? Well, it was on sale for 50% off. She got it for $13 and couldn't be happier. I told her it was in good shape and if she played gently with it, she could probably sell it on Ebay when she is done for even more money. That made her happy!
Right now, she's just enjoying playing with it. They don't make toys like this any more!
And, of course, I {heart} my precious Sweet Pea.
I {heart} our cats. I am not a cat person. But these cats have weaseled their way into my heart. Spidey is getting so big. He is much bigger than his mama!
I {heart} a new bathroom! We've torn out the one downstairs and are getting ready for new tile, a new shower, and a new vanity. We already replaced the toilet.
I also {heart} my handy hubby, who works so hard at this stuff.
I {heart} all the new colored baker's twine out there these days. Great for lots of things. We are having fun with these colors right now. But I love all the colors. Thimbleanna has this for sale, if you want some. You can get it here. I {heart} Thimbleanna for being so kind and generous to me! :-)
I {heart} a new bundle of zippers. I just like to look at them...so pretty all together. I had to get more. I cleaned out my stash of them when I made all the earbud pouches for Christmas!
I {heart} zipit. I love that they send you a color card of their zippers with every order. Oh, and a Miracle Fish Fortune Teller. Sweet Pea has a lot of fun with that!
And let us not forget....I {heart} chocolate. Especially when it comes in pink and white. (Even better when it has peanuts with it!)
What do you {heart} these days?
Have a very happy Valentine's Day!
Until next time,
A wonderfully random collection of things to heart! I love your colourful photos. Happy valentines day!

I love that Barbie Friendship. Amazing.

Fun post. I really love those heart candies with the sayings on them like "love U', "call me" only it's probably "text me" now. I went to the store to buy some and they were out of them. Tsk, Tsk I shouldn't wait until the last minute.

Always {heart} your posts and seeing what you and Sweet Pea are up to! Great news on the all new bathroom--know that makes you happy! Yep, I {heart} chocolate, too! And this week I'm really {heart-ing} my daughter cooking all week for me!! Good stuff! Come over and take a look at the cake she made. We told her she could sell that for a lotta money, but she said it wasn't good enough. Oh, my! Happy Valentine's Day to you all.

Sweet Pea spent her allowance well! I've never seen one of those and I want to play too. Happy Valentine's Day!!

Wonderful post! Loved seeing all the things you "heart." I Heart chocolate too. That Barbie toy is darling. I'm so glad you and Sweet Pea found it. She's a sweetie. I think I Heart her too!

I really {heart} my daughter, granddaughter, and son-in-law who so often show up in this blog. But the blog makes me lonesome for them! 8-)
I do remember the Friend Ship and how much fun Mamma Pea had playing with hers; hope Sweet Pea enjoys hers half as much! (Barbie and Ken had a soaring good time in it, probably!)
Tell Pappa Pea good luck with that bathroom! I want to use it one of these days soon! ;-)
Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

I heart your blog and you! Sweet Pea looks like she is having a great time. I have kept all my girls toys and so glad I did. They are made so much better than toys now.
I ordered twine last week in those colors plus purple and love it! I have also ordered from Zipit.
Papa Pea is lucky to have you in his life also!
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
You've got to see what I posted today!!! :)
Hugs,
Donna

Awww - it was fun seeing what you {heart}. Great video and I {heart} Zipit too. Getting their squishy package is a treat.

Stephanie, like everyone else before me, I Heart Your post. You have lots going on!! Hope you felt loved on Valentine's Day!

I {heart} Zipit zippers, too! I {heart} your ear bud project because I spent most of the last week of December and the first week of January making them. I had originally ordered a 25-pack for them, made about 20 and just a couple of weeks ago ordered 100 (!) more. I am so excited to make more! I {heart} that zipit sends a little zipper pull with each order.

That is in WAY better shape then my Barbie Friendship was when I was done with it (well, after my sister was then done with it, I should say) I'm pretty sure mine is in a landfill somewhere. I'm so impressed that it still had the service cart and the tailpiece.
I heart you, my friend!

Thanks for the great video! I had to laugh! She did exactly what I would probably do! We are thinking about redoing a bathroom.......but I'm chicken to do it. Looks like yours is going well!
