 I’ve been blogging a little over a year now (Jan. 24 was the year date). Some of you have been with me since day 1, but for those of you that haven’t here’s a review of Valentine’s 2009.

Valentine pocket hearts- made from sweaters; made to stuff full of sweet goodies. Cute hanging on the door of your Valentine!

Valentine rosewater cookies- a yummy and refreshing cookie made with a splash of rosewater.

 Nature’s valentines- get outside and find the valentines that Mother Nature has left for you to discover.

    Love the heart pockets. I think I might use that idea for my daughters valentines for schools! Thanks so much.

    Oh my, what a sweet way you celebrated. I have not been very active with Valentines Day celebrations, and I think that I am going to change that this year, and have some fun.
    Thank you for sharing

    I love your blog so much! I get so inspired by your pictures and projects! Thanks for sharing all this with us.
    I would love to make a few mushroom hair-clip for my daughter. Would you mind giving me an idea of how you attach the hair-clip on the felt?

    Goodness, those cookies look yummy. I love the idea of looking for nature’s valentines outside. I know someone who is always searching for heart shaped rocks.

    I love your hearts and I have to tell you that Solomon is a terrible loser when it comes to games. He cries and throws a fit : ) Yikes!

    A year?!? Already? Wow.

    I thought I’d been around here for a year, but those rosewater cookies don’t ring a bell – very cool, those.

    That brooch/barrette is the sweetest little thing!

    I loved especially your suggestion to find hearts in nature for Valentines day. Such a great activity for little ones…big ones too for that matter!

    I don’t think I’ve never commented before either, so…hello! I’ve read your blog for a while, I’m sorry I haven’t commented sooner! I find so much inspiration from the activities you do with your girls, and how great your ideas for projects are. Thanks for sharing them with us all. <3

    Congrats! I’m so glad you’re here!

    I wish it were warmer here, I’d love to be looking for heart shaped leaves. Another good place to find some interesting heart shapes is a rocky beach. We find them there often! I will look back through the posts. :)

    That’s funny :D , I also started my blog on 24-01-09!
    I love your Valentine pocket hearts and mushroom!!

    Have a wonderful weekend

    Totally love the sweater hearts. I think I’ll do something like that for the guys. Lol.. or make some heart-shaped skulls to keep the manliness aflame. ;) And NOW look what you made me do! Now, I have to go make some of those cookies!

    Hope you’re feeling better, soon.

    Oh, I love the heart shaped leaf. Maybe some Valentine’s Day landart would be fun! Thanks.
