Shameless plug: I now have an etsy store! I'll be selling cards, photos, and vintage finds. For now, I just have the aforementioned card listed.

It all started last week. We only use our debit card, so I asked Ben if he'd mind if I withdrew some cash from our bank account to buy him some stuff for Valentine's Day {that way, he wouldn't be able to login to our bank account and see what I bought him}. His surprising response was: "Please don't spend any money on me; Valentine's Day is for girls!" I couldn't just give him nothing, so I opted for a home-made card. After a little brainstorming, I decided to go with humor rather than mushiness. He always makes fun of me for being obsessed with Blogging and The Twilight Saga, so the card really says it all!

Question: Do you think Valentine's Day is just for women, or should it be an "equal-opportunity" Holiday? :)
