Flirting Month Continues

February 3rd - A bunch of Stars
Materials: Strips of origami paper for folding stars, a gift bag, and some napkins to help fill up the bottom of the bag.
Cost: $0.00 (Supplies were donated by a friend of mine.)
Rating: B+
This was super cute, but lacking in visual impact as well as practicality. I folded a bunch of little origami stars, and gave them to him, "My favorite Star Person" (he's Lakota, and they call themselves the Star People). Folding the stars took quite a bit of time, and while I did something on the order of 150+ of them, they not even half filled the smallest little gift bag I could find.

February 4th - Goldfish Love Note
Materials: Paper, Watercolor Paint, Elmers Glue, and one Googly Eye
Cost: $0.00 (Was doing a project with the kids at work, and just made one as well, then asked if I could bring it home.)
Rating: B
With the exception of drying time, this was very quick, and particularly easy. I already had the stencil that I was going to use for the kids project, and so I just made one as well. (I'll provide photos later, and maybe a stencil&directions depending on demand - you can probably just find it on the internet.) On the back, I wrote a cheesy love note, and voila. Neat looking, and pretty useless.

February 5th - IT'S A TWO-FER! Ironed some of his shirts (9 of them, to be precise), and had flowers 'delivered' to him at work.
Materials: Iron, Spray Bottle, Flowers, Vase, Card, and a willing friend
Cost: Approximately $15 (For the flowers and card - borrowed the vase and a friend 'delivered' the flowers)
Rating: A+
Wolf's penchant for over-the-top romanticism really helped make this one a hit. Not only did he get flowers, he got them at work, where EVERYONE could see that he was getting flowers delivered. Wolf loves this sort of attention, so he was talking about this all weekend. Grade A+ for impact, and it got both of us kudos from all of his coworkers - I get to be the awesome wife, he gets to have the awesome wife. It's a win-win. The ironing of the shirts, while time consuming, was also very useful, and he appreciated that as well.

February 6th - Garage Door Love Note
Materials: Paper, Pen, Painting Tape
Cost: $0.00 (Had everything we needed already)
Rating: A+
For this one, I wrote one letter on each piece of paper (large enough to be read from the street), then taped the pieces of paper across the outside of our garage door. Quick, easy, with high visual impact, and it plays right into his love of overly showy gestures.

February 7th - VS Catalog
Materials: Pen, Post-it Note, Victoria's Secret Catalog
Cost: $0.00 (They give the catalog away free at the store, and the other stuff I had)
Rating: A
This one gets an A rating because of it's potential. The VS Catalog has everything from every day wear (shirts, jeans, etc) to lingerie - basically, I wrote a note that invited him to go through and rate the outfits, 'Just for future reference.' Even if he never gets around to it, its fun and flirty, took all of 30 seconds to put together, and gets the mind to work.

Tomorrow: A short love note, including a list of things I love about him.
