Look at this Adorable Tic tac toe game tutorial from Roots and Wings!
What litle girl wouldn't squeal with delight to find one of these hairclips wrapped up in her lunch on Valentine's Day? Thank you Creations by Kara for this great tutorial.
We ate our last authentic thin mint today and thought we would have to wait until next year for more until 101 Cookbooks came through with this from scratch recipe. Yay! But don't worry cute little girlscout friend, I will still buy from you.
Imagine your thin mints cut with a heart cutter and dipped only half in chocoate. Adorable!
Eat Good 4 Life has this amazing Pretzel tutorial. They have a natural heart shape, even more so with a good pinch at the bottom. I'm thinking these would make a fantastic Valentine morning breakfast.
Family Fun has done it agian. I rarely buy hotdogs but picked some Turkey dogs up on the $.65 special this week for our Valentine lunch. My kids will be so excited!
I've always wanted to try making English Muffins. I can't think of a better time to try! Thanks again Family Fun.
These look fast and easy. I think my mom has some mini canes leftover from our Christmas celebration.
Here's an adorable basket from Jennifer Meyer. I plan to have the kids make their own smaller versions in the morning and I will fill them with little treats to put by their place at lunch.
Stop reading here Darren! For celebrating with Daddy, I’d like to set the dinner table with the paper roses the kids have made earlier in the day. We are making heart shaped mini meatloaves and mashed potatoes with steamed green beans, lettuce salad, and strawberry pretzel salad for dinner, with heart shaped cheddar biscuits on the side. It is our family club night at church so we will be home late. I’d love to have my bedroom clean by Valentine’s day so I can put fresh sheets, rose petals, and wrapped chocolates on the bed, but I’ll try not to be too disappointed if I don’t get it all done. And thankfully Darren is appreciative even if only a small amount gets accomplished.
Thank you for the Valentine’s ideas. I need good ideas, yeah!! Feel free to post more thrifty ideas for this less than creative lady. I just found you in time to make my New Year’s Resolutions (last week in December) and following your prompts has made a big difference in my life this New Year. Thanks, Jennie
I’m excited to try some the ideas. Like Jennie said, I’ll take any ideas you have offer. Thanks, Angela!
I told myself I was only going to look up some of the crafts. Then I got to those hotdogs. So fun!
These are cute ideas. My personal favorite is the Valentine-theme tic -tac-toe gift 😉 🙂 Have a great week. Thanks for the cute tips. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather 🙂
