Mason’s pick!  ”Vintage” (1980s) Hallmark Charlie Brown SCENTED Valentines.  I love that they were sealed in their original package and they still had their scent.

It’s okay to be CHEESY and a little bit kooky on Valentine’s Day!  (and EVERYDAY!)

I eventually got our Christmas snow flakes all hung up.  I guess they are more like Valentine’s Day snowflakes now!

Heart Balloon

It’s just too cold to play outside these days!

But that is okay because we have lots and lots of VALENTINES to cut, paste and paint!

Our goal is to make 50 Valentine’s for a nursing home before Valentine’s Day.

20 down!  30 to go!

Heart balloon inspired by Jessica Wilson’s incredibly adorable Valentine  {HERE}  She has a step-by-step tutorial!   Q-tip technique via THIS  fantastic blog.

I’m keeping a little chocolate box of dazzle handy so the kids can make hearts whenever they strike a fancy!

…I adore Mason’s new orange, blue and green smile.

…Frankie’s colic is getting BETTER!  A sweet friend recommended this sleeper for her and it has made a colossal difference.

…My oldest “baby” is sixteen!!  SIXTEEN!  16!!  It’s bittersweet.  I’m sure you’ve noticed he doesn’t like to make blog appearances… but I’m hoping I can convince him to do a birthday photo shoot for me someday soon.

…I’ve been working on thank you notes!  I’m behind.  Hope you know how much I love and appreciate the special gifts you’ve sent along.

…I took my girls (I have TWO now!) out antiquing today.  I bought a library style file cabinet. It’s REALLY ugly and I REALLY love it.  I can’t wait to fill it with art supplies!

…I want to make everything on my Valentine’s pin board.  EVERYTHING!  It’s not happening, but it’s fun to dream.

…I love this quote from Isaac Bashevis Singer… “Life is God’s novel.  Let Him write it.”

This afternoon I  whipped up white-chocolate-cherry-fudge WHILE I was fixing lunch for the kiddos.  It’s so easy you can do it one handed!  It took three, maybe four minutes (and a little extra time to wrap them up all pretty!!)

Idea and Recipe via Cookies and Cups!

I packaged a napkin with the fudge so it’s ready-to-devour.  Whoever invented CD sleeve treats is pretty cool, don’t ya think?!

xoxoxoxo!

every time to those who really love;

the more they give, 

the more they possess.
