Thank you for celebrating with me!!!
Using what I already had an hand... and no trip to the basement... I made over my mantle in 10 minutes!
Starting with some candy candles I added them to my apothecary jar that was already filled with snow
I hand printed the word love on distressed Bingo Cards and hung them with grosgrain ribbon
I also hung the skates way up high... and kept with the snowflake theme... in anticipation of one big snowfall soon!!!
Here it is all together
I included a cake stand to make the apothecary higher and my favorite picture of the two of us along with BE MY VALENTINE block that was my Grams!
I am linking to these blogs!

What a lovely blog you've created! I just found you tonight via my dear neighbor's blog, Ambersambry.com She is a dear woman, wonderful mother, and very creative artist and soapmaker. Happy 200th Blog Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your blog and would be delighted to be chosen the winner. I would make cupcakes for my hardworking coworkers and take them in on, say, a Tuesday, for no reason at all! I am a teacher at an inner city school in a poor part of a large city.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
