Sunday Social + DIY Valentines Day Card

It's a rainy Sunday here in Iowa! A perfect day for some indoor projects and relaxing!

I can't believe that Valentine's Day is already this week - Yikes!  We don't get too wild and crazy on Valentine's Day but we do celebrate by exchanging cards and small gifts.  Here is an easy DIY Valentine's Day card that is perfect if you are celebrating with your fiance! :)

The knot ties when it's opened!!  Cute huh?!

What You Need:

Cardstock paper

Heart stamp and ink

Sharpie or any pen

Baker's twine

Now for Sunday Social!  I'm linking up with A Complete Waste of Makeup! :)

1] What was your first car?  1991 Ford Escort.  Teal. Stick shift.  Needless to say, my sisters did not get a stick shift for their first car. :)

2] Who was your favorite childhood teacher? Miss Lewis.  I had her in first and third card!

3] Were you involved in any sports/extracurricular activities? Yes!  I took stats for the volleyball team, played basketball until my sophomore year, and played softball throughout high school!  My favorite activity was being in the National FFA Organization!

4] What was your favorite birthday party? Either kindergarden or 1st grade.  My mom threw me the best birthday party ever!  We all wore cute dresses and my mom planned some awesome party games!

5] Who was your teenage crush? Jonathon Taylor Thomas!  Whatever happened to him?!

6] What show did your parents not allow you to watch? The Simpsons.  I still have never watched an episode.

Hope you all have a great lazy Sunday!  If you stop by and stick around for awhile, leave your blog address! :)  I would love to stop over, say hi, and follow back!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, Sunday Social!  I am really enjoying this link up so make sure to stop over at Neely's blog by clicking on the button above to read other bloggers who have linked up!   1// If you were stuck on an island what two material items you would want to have? Lip gloss and my camera.  I might as well get some great pictures and practice my photography skills.  Yep - I'm totally assuming I will be stuck on a tropical island. :) 2// What are the two TV shows you would watch over and over again? Dallas (old seasons and the new seasons) and Las Vegas, the one with Josh Duhamel.   3// If your house was on fire what two things aside from family, pets, etc would you grab? My purse (it has all of the necessities) and my engagement ring!  I don't wear my engagement ring 24/7, maybe I should start!! 4// What are your two most favorite articles of clothing? My perfect boot cut jeans from Gap (watch for my blog post tomorrow) and jean jacket, it goes with almost anything! 5// What two movies that you saw in the past year would you recommend to us? This one is tough, I can never remember the movies we rent on Direct TV.  The Dark Knight Rises and The Bourne Legacy were my favorites (that I can remember) I like action/adventure/suspense type of movies! 
6// What are your two biggest guilty pleasures? Buying jeans and plain potato chips (Wavy Lays) and french onion dip... yum, yum, YUM! :)
These are great questions - I can't wait to see other responses! :)  If you are new to Design Your Dwelling, I would love for you to stick around and if you do, please leave a comment with a link to your blog so I can follow back!!

I am linking up for another Sunday Social!  Click on the link above to see answers from other bloggers and maybe find a new blog or two to follow!
What is your idea way to relax? Sitting on my couch with a cup of coffee and a magazine on a Saturday morning! :)
Where is your favorite place to be? I love the mountains.  They are beautiful, majestic, and there is always so much to do!  Plus I love the lifestyle theme of "work to play" rather than "work to live"
Who do you consider your greatest role model? This is a tough one because I have so many great people in my life.  I would have to say my dad.  He is smart, patient, and totally a family man.
What does your life look like in three years? I will be married (yay!) and hopefully starting a family!  I would also like to say that I will have my own interior design business up and going.  I would also consider still working for my current employer on a contract basis.  I will also have a new kitchen! :)
If you could go back and change one decision, what would it be? I dated a guy for awhile, we broke up and I gave him another chance.  I wish I stayed tough and didn't give him that chance. However, I am a true believe that everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't be in one of the most happy times of my life and have the friends that I do if I had made a different decision. (Kinda deep huh?!)
What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far? Walking across a stage in a swimming suit.  I had always wanted to run for Miss Minnesota and I did it!
