This Week’s Features!

SO sorry for the late post everyone! My daughter had to be taken to the emergency room for a gallbladder attack. I had a gangrenous gallbladder before mine was removed (almost died) so I was taking NO chances with her symptoms. Sure enough, mom was right. Gallbladder. She’s still my baby, even at 19 (let’s pretend I had her when I was 8 lol). If everyone would pray for a quick recovery and the ability to put off surgery as long as possible, I would appreciate it. So sorry again for the late post!

The time for our children’s classroom parties is quickly approaching. These adorable marshmallow Valentine pops made by Natasha of Serenity You would be a cute addition to the party!

Debbee over at Debbee’s Buzz made (yes made!) these amazing dolls inspired by the characters of Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I’m amazed by them. You’ll want to go check out the post to see them in all their glory!

This heart shaped box was made from scratch by Gail from Purple Hues and Me. From scratch! Be sure to check out her tutorial to see how she did it!

MaryJo of Master”pieces” of My Life shared a post full of ideas to set beautiful tablescapes and other ideas for Valentine’s Day. I love the last one she shared with adorable chalkboard wood slices. We always have a special family dinner on Valentine’s Day, and that table would be perfect for it!

These cooking/baking themed Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) gifts for men and women are genius and so cute! Jenna of The Painted Apron also shared free printable recipe cards to place in the potholder with the other gifts, so be sure to head over to get yours and to see the other gift she made.
