Easy peppermint marshmallows

One can never have too much LOVE ...

and just in case you need some remedy for winter blues, i found some: Easy homemade marshmallows  from wonderful Liz, author of  Say Yes to Hoboken, a great crafty blog i recently discovered. Wouldn't these make a perfect treat for Valentines? Or, any other day between here and then, that needs a little extra attention and sweetness? Love the pink whirl and love mint - and i hope you do too! Check out the full DIY here.

Monday Love: Win my heart(s)!

 

Little Presents are so important sometimes ...

to show someone how much you care, to make someones heart sing, to make a normal monday special, or just because life is beautiful and should be celebrated.

In this case, dear friends, i have a little present for you, because you are bringing so much joy to my heart every day. I'm giving away 3 sets of my "Art of heart" cards, with matching envelopes. If you'd like to get one of them, just follow my blog (in case you are not a follower yet), and leave a comment on this post (If you are a follower, tell me so.). Winners will be announced monday next week.

Friday Pretties: You are loved!

And how sweet is it, 

to wrap the nicest of feelings in a cute, creative idea,

like a Popcorn-box, filled with little items and an invitation for a movie night at home, or a collection of post-it notes that can be left in unexpected locations to bring a smile to your honeys face - not just on Valentines day.

Valentines, this year, will be on a monday. And i think, mondays, no matter what time of year, deserve a little extra attention and fun to get the week to a great start. I've forgotten about my "monday love posts" and will continue with them in the week to come. Have a super nice, warm and loving weekend and treat yourself and your loved one to something nice. The best time for a relaxed Valentines breakfast is propably this sunday. See you soon!

Friday Pretties: Raspberry hearts

Eat your heart out - in a nice way!

On Valentines day or ... this weekend? I'm still at home, not feeling so well and phantasizing about lovely things to eat and to do once my strength is back. And look what i just found - Raspberry cream cheese pan crepes! A mix between pancakes and crepes, filled with cream cheese and fresh raspberrys. Might be good with frozen ones, too. I hope that honey & sons Ltd. will be delighted when presented with this, although they consider valentine things being girls stuff. Find the recipe here.

To lift my spirit and yours in the survival of winter, i 'm planning to make February the month of love. One day just isn't enough. Will you join me?
