This sweet little book is a really cute Valentines day gift idea. You can get the The Little Book of I Love You at Amazon used for $1.50! I got it for the BF a few Valentine’s ago, and added a few special touches. #cheesalert
I spruced it up with some paper hearts. I even made a little envelope for a love note. #collectiveawwww
The book is so creative. Each page illustrates another way to say “I love you”. I used the pages to inspire me to thank the BF for something. I filled the book with some silly and some sweet sentiments all thanking him for specific things.
This particular page says, “Loving you has made me bananas”, and it made me think of a time when he was attempting to eat healthy as opposed to fast food after work every night. I had been on a smoothie kick, and kept trying to get him to do it too. He gathered all of the smoothie ingredients came home from the store, and attempted a smoothie. He forgot the blender lid. The smoothie attacked the kitchen. Despite, the smoothie mishap, I appreciate the fact that he tried.
This page says, “I could eat you up.”
This is the last page in the book, and also my favorite. “Free Trial, no obligation”, and bonus, you can actually stick your finger through the ring! Here are a few more pictures…
I added pictures to the front few pages that were blank. I think I might like this book better than he does…but that’s ok. Have you ever added your own personal touches to a book? I’ve made a few altered scrapbooks. If you’re interested in more cheesy cuteness here’s another Valentine book I got for Andy.

I just discovered your blog TODAY!! Got a new Macbook Pro, so I've been doing a lot of internet surfing which has included facebook stalking – ha! I'm so glad I found it – you're inspiring me to be crafty! I saw this book at Z Gallery yesterday (while there buying my new BF a picture frame for Valentin'e Day)… I will have to remember this idea for once we have a few more memories & I can add little notes like you did. Hope to see you guys soon!
