I chose to use the quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley.
(Does anyone still miss him like I do?)
I love this quote on how to treat new converts, but in a sense are we not all converts? I think that this quote is just a good motto to have when dealing with anyone we meet!
Do you want to know why this is the best ever Valentines Countdown?
I have been wanting a table runner for my table, but I wanted a square one, not a rectangle one. I had several different pieces of fabric that were red and white, so naturally I decided that I needed to make my table runner. I made it with all my scraps and this whole thing did not cost me any extra money, because I had everything that I needed! Score!
I love how it looks on my kitchen table!
I love these wraps because they are such an easy way to decorate and a pillow can add so much to a room. This is my Valentines version. I love the colors with the touch of green added in the ruffle. It goes perfect with my black pillow, so I did not need to make a new pillow, just the wrap!
This fun “Be Mine” Banner:
It is about 3 feet long, so it was hard to get a great picture of the whole thing together! But it is cute because it is that long! It looks great and makes a statement all on its own, but you could add some fun heart decorations to go with it too! I think that I am going to find some kind of lights and a garland to go with mine for my mantle, but I wanted to get this post out to you so you could make one if you want to! (So you get the plain version!)
Today I have one of the Valentines Day projects that I have been working on.
(This is a Valentine’s version of Don’t Eat Pete!)
This game is perfect for all ages, and for big or small groups.
It is a great game for school parties, Valentines Day parties, family night or just to entertain the grandkids as I was doing here!
And who doesn’t love a game that involves eating candy?!
This printable is now available in pdf fomat in the shop.

So print up a game board and grab a bag of candy and see what kind of fun memories that you can create tonight!
I have a couple of Valentines projects that I am in the process of working on…but decided that I would do a roundup of some of my previous Valentines ideas for you to look at right now!
These are in no particular order and there are recipes, crafts, printables, candy, cookies and all kinds of goodies for you!
Just click on the link for the “how to” for each of them.
Today I would like to do something that I have not done before and that is to do a tribute to my dear hubby. These are the beautiful roses that he sent to the house, they smell sooo good and they look so beautiful. When they arrived they were these tight little buds and they have opened up and released the most beautiful scent!
We had red roses for our wedding almost 36 years ago and I still love them today!
I saw a bag of salted caramels at a boutique in our neighborhood last weekend, but for some reason I did not buy any and then I could not seem to get them off my mind! So I came home a decided to give my hand a try at making some. I found a recipe that used sweetened condensed milk and adapted it to make these. I asked my husband to taste them and tell me what he thought. He said that there was something wrong with them and I thought he was going to say that they were salty, but he said what was wrong was that you could not eat just one! He loves them! He has made several comments since on how good they are! So that is quite the compliment!
I finally broke down and made sugar cookies for Valentines day. I say that because I know that if I make them I am going to eat them! This recipe really is “The Ultimate Sugar Cookie.” I don’t know if any of you ever go to the little cookie shops around your area and get a big sugar cookie with the cream cheese frosting and you savor every bite, well here is the recipe for those big fat cookies!
