Made with love....

 It's that time! It's so easy to do and really doesn't take that much time. Make your own special Valentines! They are so sweet and made with love! These Valentines I made with cut out card stock circles. I dipped them in left over coffee from the morning pot and baked them  for a few minutes at 350 degrees. I then cut out random circles of Valentine style papers{It can be pink and red with whatever images that could be romantic}. I folded the edges in a bit and glued a small dot on the back of the cicles and put them together. I used a pink seam binding for the ribbon but any style ribbon or string will do. These are darling and voila!  I hoped I inspired you to get out your papers and make your own! It's not too late!
Enjoy!

Pink-Nurturing Kindness

Ahhhh.. the color pink. My favorite. Pink symbolizes love,beauty, kindness and compasion. It heals grief and sadness,soothes difficulties in both romantic and family relationships. It gives selfworth, love and acceptance. It means I care. Not just for Valentine's Day but for everyday. So spread the pink and make yourself feel good. I purchased these pink hydrangas yesterday. They are so pretty. I placed them in my front foyer for everyone to see.{well anyone who walks in my foyer}.They make me feel good every time I walk by them!

It's Monday..........

 Today is your day to paint life in bold colors;
set today's rythm with your heart-drum;
walk today's march with courage;
create today as your celebration of life.

Honey be mine.......

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.
