Valentine’s Preparations
We wanted some garland for the kitchen window. So we took a bit of oak tag (cereal boxes work just as well), glued misc. wrapping paper or old cut up greeting cards to cover it, cut it into heart shapes using a cookie cutter as a pattern and strung the paper-covered hearts, along with hearts turned into Valentines for individual family members, onto a festive ribbon. Voila! Heart-y Garland!
Next we fashioned some larger hearts to dangle from the windows. Also a Valentine’s Booklet to mail to Grandma & Grandpa. Put stuff on a table and let ‘em at it!
Gotta have lots of cookies, right? Ruth’s Vanilla Christmas Cookies is a fabulous cutout cookie recipe (the dough is oh so easy to work with!) And Chocolate Chipper Tramps featuring pink and red M&M’s are always a treat. (Look for those recipes tomorrow!)
Ah! Time to sit back and enjoy the fruit of our labor!

it all looks so festive!
That looks wonderful! Thanks for inspiring me to put out a little extra effort for “LOVE” day!
How very pretty! I love the garland of various papers. I showed Jameson the pretty things Nana made, and he’s excited to make some, too. (Now to just get around to it…!)
Oh what a good idea. Thanks for sharing! The girls will love it.
Renee Z. just made me a beautiful garland for my kitchen window that says, “God is Love.” I love it! I think Valentine’s Day is such a great occasion to decorate for. Gotta love that pink, red, and white! So many ideas, so much fun! Thanks for sharing.
