Have a lovely weekend!

This weekend...

I will be jealous of good health...

I fear that we are getting a family cold...

But we have Netflix... 

and take out to keep us company...

Hope your weekend's...

begin and end with loveliness...

in preparation for Valentine's...

Valentine Baking...

My true love 

lies in baking...

I love the whole experience.. 

the smells..

the little tastes here and there.. 

beautiful product afterwards.. 

and the fun of giving it away.. 

I love it.. 

even when it comes from a box 

and only takes 30 mins.. 

In fact, 

sometimes that is the best kind!

Here are some Valentine baking inspirations 

from Martha Stewart, of course!

Handwritten sentiments, 

on chocolate and nothing else!

Romantic Pecan Linzer Cookies... 

Fancy Heart Pops.. 

For something more simple, 

but just as lovely.. 

Cupcakes!

*Love Banner*

So I realize that Valentine's Day has come and past.. but I'm extending the love with my new love-banner-hangy-thing.. I got the idea while making my mini albums.. and really this didn't take much time at all... I love the little heart brads that are really holding it all together =)

Oh.. P.s.  excuse the messy closet.. I work in chaos.. 

*Sweets for Everyone*

Yesterday and today were filled with baking cakes, demolishing them, mixing with frosting, and rolling them into million and millions of balls.  After all this tedious work.. there was more.. dipping each individual ball into some melted chocolate.  But the results were fabulous.. cake truffles with a Valentines twist..
And the insides are: Red Velvet Cake, Strawberry Cake, and of course Chocolate..

Sprinkled with Love....

Some Valentine's Day fun..

 A Valentine Card Wreath.. courtesy Williams Sonoma.. what a fun festive idea...



Message Heart cookies.. too cute to eat.. But if they are chocolate
they don't stand a chance.. no matter how freakin' cute!



A seed-packet Valentine.. imagine the possiblities..



I love this idea.... Poetic Wrappings..





























I love getting flowers.. even better are flowers that will last..
Unless you forget to water them and they die..
and for that I am sorry flowers..




And this is even better.. if you have heart shaped plants.. amazing!



Cute treat packages.. that could be sent to school with the little ones..



I love this craft.. says for kids.. but hey, aren't we all..
It's made with crayons..





























Alright thats all for now.... hope your love fix was satisfied..

Valentine's for boys...

I usually make all my cards for my husband.. and it's difficult to think of something fun and a little bit masculine.. but I found this today.. and like every good man, my husband.. he loves bacon..

Thank you DesignDude!

Gettin' back into it...

So its been awhile.. I have put all my mental effort into reading other blogs that I have throughly neglected my own.. and partially because I haven't been doing too much.  I have been trying to get into the Valentine's spirit though.. I have always considered Valentine's to be a holiday not only for lovers, but for friends and family too.. Okay well I freakin' love every holiday.. any reason to make things and be silly.. and enjoy friends and family... holidays are like little magic fairies coming to make things all beautiful for one day..

So I have been working on some Valentine's cards to send out.. and here is what I have got so far..

I saw this card on Etsy so I decided to try it..

I didn't have red glitter.. but its still okay.

Just love doilies, they do all the work for you!

A little Whimsical.. it can be used for Mother's Day too.

This one is my favorite!

And another..

Happy early Valentine's!
