I Love You

Happy Friday and almost Valentine’s Day!

We’re going to keep this post sweet and simple in honour of Valentine’s Day. We loved the post we did in December about saying “Merry Christmas” in different languages, so we are going to do that today but with love and “I love you.” We’re also throwing in some symbols you can use to say “I love you” and a few of our cards that express and show love.  Enjoy!

Our Favorite Blog Posts of 2016

Now that we have covered the colour of the year, we’re going to do what we did last year (see it here) and pick our favourite posts of 2016. We had some really fun ones this past year because we were planning Nicole’s wedding. There were some really fun and interesting wedding related tutorials and we did our lead up to the Royals visit and of course we did the summer of nail polish! 

Our Favourite Posts of 2016 

Wedding Shoes (February 26, 2016)-This one was one of the first wedding posts that we did. We got really into the types of shoes that brides can wear. So many choices! 

Oscar Dresses and Card (March 4, 2016) –This will always be one of my favourite posts every year. I find it really cool to pick one of the dresses and to create a completely inspired by that dress.

Flower Meanings and Messages (March 25, 2016) – This one felt like homework but in a good way. I spent many hours looking up flowers and their meanings. I should write a letter in flower language.

Perfecting the Wedding Day Look (May 13, 2016) – We spent so many fun Friday nights having friend bonding time and curling hair and doing makeup in the living room with the music playing. I’ll never forget it...it was fun and is such a special memory for us.

Father’s Day DIY Frames (June 17, 2016) – We not only showed you how to make a special keepsake in this post, but Nicole made one for her dad with a wedding picture of them in it.

13 Great Places to Hike in Canada (July 15, 2016) – Again, this one felt like homework in a good way. We both researched great places to hike in the provinces of Canada and came up with come very neat places that we’d like to go to. Some of the hikes were pretty intense though.

Texting Facts (August 19, 2016) – When I first thought about doing a texting blog I thought it would be boring but we learned a lot and I absolutely loved the Chinese texting language that we learned. 770880 :)

London Fogs (September 16, 2016) – When the Royal came to town we thought we would post about London Fogs as a part of our mini 'British' blog series. I have never had one before so Nicole thought she’d show me how to make one. Delicious!

Silver Bells Wreath (December 10, 2016) – Nicole needed a wreath to decorate her new place this year for Christmas so we turned it into a blog post and now she has a wreath that he can hang up every year.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas (December 23, 2016) – I’ve always found different languages very interesting so learning how to say “Merry Christmas” in a bunch of different languages was kinda neat.
