Valentine Chick at the cabin!

Ever since we've had our log cabin, I've been inspired to decorate for every season and every holiday. Some of you know I already put out some Valentine decorations. But here's the one that sent Greg over the edge. He said that I am "chicking" the cabin out with this Valentine's Day tree. (This is all said with good humor of course!)



















But I bet he won't think these yummy cupcakes are too "chicky" for him! Huh mister? What do you think about these? Should I give them to all the chicks on our street?
(P.S. I love you!)

I'll take a cupcake and the tree off your hands (for Greg's sake lol)! I've never had a Valentine tree before - It's festive & cute (take that Greg ;)

I like the tree idea. DH came home with a tree just like that (minus the decorations of course) at Christmas. I thought it was the ugliest Christmas tree ever and put it out on the porch when he wasn't home. Of course he could have brought it back in when he was home but never did. So there it sits. Think I'll decorate it for Valentine's day. I can only imagine his reaction! -Sandy

Can't say I have ever seen a Valentine's tree either!
and I don't see chocolate cupcakes for very long either. HA.

(Shelley,
as far as making heart symbols here...you can copy and paste it. I originally got it from Word. Under inserting symbols- and when I tried to paste it here on blogger it worked. That's all I know. anyone know something easier I'd like to know.:) ♥

Carol said...

You're right, I'm sure Greg won't make fun of your yummy cupcakes! Men sometimes just don't understand our need to 'fluff the nest' for every occasion. But we love 'em anyway. ;0)

Cute idea, ... valentine tree! After all the parties at school today in the lower grades I about cupcaked'ed out! I leave that one for Greg! Nice thing about a K-12 bldg is that the little kids bring plates of goodies around in highschool. I scored about six cookies and a piece of cake,... I think i've gained 5 lbs! haha Happy Valentine's Day to you two!

Phill said...

We don't really do Valentines day around here ... but I have to admit, I catch myself thinking about decorating one of our spruce trees for each season once we move north to the country property. =)

grammy said...

Cute tree. Very manly response (o: Bet he will love the cupcakes. Have a fun weekend.

OK Shelley, I don't know how to tell you this but my DH still has our christmas tree up in the living room. :-( Everything is off it, just need his help dismantling it. It's 15 ft.tall. He keeps saying he will do it on Feb.14th. I am thinking hearts , lots of hearts all over that tree. What do you think?!!!! Sharon PS good grief then he will wait til Easter. Eggs lots of eggs. NO no no!

I can see where he might think you've crossed the "chicky" line of no return but it is pretty. It's good you had some goodies to take his mind off the chickness. :>)
