"I only have EYES for you!"

Looking for a spooky way to show your hubby (or wife...) you love him this Halloween?

All the Pretty Pages created this cute little greeting card... You can download the card on her blog HERE

{You could attach this to a baggie of little eye ball chocolates or gummies}

Now Taking Orders...

I am now taking orders for customized "Date of the Month Club" kits!!

If you weren't a follower of Love Actually last Christmas, allow me to introduce you to a one-of-a-kind homemade Christmas gift for your spouse....a gift that lasts throughout the year!

Enroll him (or her) in the Date of the Month Club!

Here's the jist: You've enrolled them in this club, which has lots of great "membership benefits".

{the membership "brochure"}

You can present this to him anyway you'd like. In a binder with plastic sleeves, in a box, in a folder, or in a 12x12 scrapbook pocket page like I did.

What comes in the kit?

Monthly Date Calendar:
Give your hubby a list of 12+ dates on a card or a full size page (depending on how you are presenting it). The more he can choose from, the better. Keep in mind, these don't all have to be fancy dates from my blog. Guys like simple dates, too...like, throwing a frisbee at the park. Put some of his interests in there as dates with you. Then, provide him another sheet which has each month of the next year listed. He will choose which date he wants for which month. Then, it's up to you keep that card and plan those dates each month (Hence, "date of the month club").

Romance Reward Tickets:
These are "love coupons" of sorts...the trick is actually honoring them when he/she decides to use them throughout the year--no backing out! And, make sure you really personalize them.

Here are the tickets I used:
(I put two of each in the package)

• Breakfast in Bed - hot & ready, or however you like it!
• Mental Health Day - Need a break from the daily grind? Play hookie and we'll have some real fun...anything you want to do!
• Sick Day - Redeem this for some pure pampering on a day you aren't feeling too hot... I'll make you feel better.
• Treat Ticket - Your craving is my command!
• Massage of Your Choice - Where does it hurt? Let me rub it better.
  
  

  {Options for the tickets are endless, though...}

Vacation Packages for Two:
Give him at least 2 options…but only give him as many as you can handle having to plan throughout the year! (make sure he knows these are not REAL getaways...otherwise what’s the need for a homemade Christmas?)

My package included "a trip to Las Vegas" and one to a romantic bed and breakfast suite--he gets to choose the suite theme.

Hershey Hugs & Kisses:
Redeemable for the real thing....


Once it's all set, wrap it up and put it under the tree!

"Gwen In Love" Feature

Hello. Hello. Hello!

I must say I do miss posting...but I am sure enjoying having time for everything else in my life! But, I'm back just for a moment today to feature my newest sponsor,
Gwen in Love

Gwen professes to be in love and thinks everyone should have a marriage that is "as rockin' hot" as hers! She's here to help all of us after saying "I do". Her blog offers a lot of great advice for the more intimate aspects of marriage...

Here were a couple of posts from her blog that I fell in love with...


Gwen's Idea of Father's Day

A classy monogrammed tie clip that has a secret message on the back with "Love ties us together." or... "I want to tie you up". Clever!

Friday Night Dance Party

Gwen suggests a little private dance party for you and your man... She's got a playlist for you and everything!

Flirty Apron

After playing mom and maid all day, emotions can run high for Gwen. Her favorite way to change her mood is to "throw on a sassy little apron" It helps her to embrace her household duties and feel less like a maid and more like her husband's sexy girlfriend!

She's got some CUTE blog buttons you can snag as well...

And there's plenty more! After your visit, I think you'll find yourself in Love with Gwen in Love... Hop on over to her blog here...

Thanks for sponsoring Love Actually Blog, Gwen. Can't wait to see more from you!

Fall In Love

I found a cute Fall idea by Colette from My Computer Is My Canvas. She did this for her hubby.

She writes,
"He's the rough and tough, college football type... so cheesy stuff only makes him roll his eyes at me. Sad, but true. However, with the fun (and manly) colors of Fall - I thought I could get away with a little bit of mush. I wanted to remind him that even though I am a busy mom with a million priorities... I'm still "falling" in love with him everyday."

Then she wrote him a little love note and attached the extra tags to little goodies and put them "around his world" to remind him for the next few days.

You can grab her free download on her blog!

Another One Bites the Dust....(sorta)

Heeelllooooo everyone.....

It's been a while since I've been "back here" as Love Actually has been on auto-post for about 2 months. Yeah, it wasn't really me posting the past few times. *guilty* It was blogger.

Anyway, I've had to really weigh my priorities recently and while I whole-heartedly believe this blog is a worthwhile endeavor, there are just other things that must be put first.

I don't want to see this cute little blog "bite the dust" entirely, so the blog will remain here for you.... And for those moments when I'm inspired to share a fun idea, I will do so.

But first, I have a quick question:

Does anyone know what happened to my photo bucket images? My account is still active but the pictures are gone (which means my cute red polka-dot background is gone and my menu bar links, too....) Doesn't make for a pretty blog. boo! I'd love any advice you can offer me.
