Happy Valentine's Day

-
 Yes, I am going backwards
in time as I catch up.
Please bear with me.


The table was set and all ready
for the Valentine's Party
with 3 very special little boys
plus an added guest.

The cute blue bags
were for the boys to take
 home their goodies in.

Loved these little vintage
looking plates.  I think they
came from Hobby Lobby.

The cereal boxes were a Pinterest
find and they were a big hit.


What would a Valentine's Party be
without conversation hearts?

Jeremy delivers Aaron and Caleb
to the party.....


and they soon discover the goodies on the table.

Kelly arrives with David.
Notice the snow on the ground.

Caleb is such a good big cousin.
He likes to keep an eye on David.

Sweetie was in town and she made
heart hats for the boys.
Aaron think he is very
handsome.


David's heart hat.

Let's check out how we look.

Making a collage.

Craft time was fun.

Look at my collage.

I made a heart necklace.


Caleb also made a heart bouquet
for his parents.  On the back of each
heart was a job he would do
to help his parents out.
Thanks you Pinterest for another
great idea.

Heart cookie cutter for a grilled cheese sandwich.

There are "jewels" in this heart shaped bowl which
we put in the freezer.  The idea is to melt the heart
and the jewels will be left.  Each time
I have suggested melting
the heart, Caleb vetoes the idea.
It may be in my freezer until he's 18.

I think Sweetie enjoyed making
crafts as much as the little guys did.

Didn't they turn out pretty?

And of course, the cupcakes were a huge hit.

Happy Valentine's Day.
It's never too late for a day
devoted to love.

Love Present from a Friend

-

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
