Valentine love-lists

For Valentines Day (starting the first day of February), I put a heart on each pillow of my family members with something I love about them.  It was a simple and fun way to celebrate the holiday.. (did you know we've had zero handy in 2013, not even a single piece on Valentine's Day?  true story.)  I'm still not sure if I should keep the love-hearts forever, but here is the list of reasons why I love them so.  {Thanks for the idea Emilee!}
