This was seriously the cutest thing ever. And it was a lot of fun for Saoirse!
What I did was tape up the yarn, zig-zagging all over my house starting at the front door (where the lucky man would be entering) and ending at the freezer (for a delicious treat of treats). When that was all up I wrote little messages on the postcards and hung them on the yarn every once in a while.
You can write whatever you want on the postcards to make them personal, like things from a love letter, song, poem, or whatever! I wanted to do something really special to us. So I took a few things written about me or us from his Patriarchal Blessing. It turned out perfectly.
Saoirse LOVED this. She ran up and down the hallway with all of this above her head. Obviously, I had to be sure to keep all string out of her reach. There were a couple of parts I had to redo when I had turned around and seeing that she was ripping some yarn from the wall.
The end of the line for his ice cream and a little something extra. :)
Then! He came home and saw my creation!!
It worked so perfectly! He loved it of course. Afterwards we went to Texas Roadhouse, because he has been dying to go to that place (again, I know that wasn't very vegan of us..). Fortunately I did the "call ahead" thing, or as I like to call it a RESERVATION, and we sat down right away while the line of people were expected to wait 60 to 80 minutes(!!!!!!) until they could sit down.
I'd say it was a pretty successful Valentine's Day.
