Beautiful Silver + Gold Designs

"Her godmother simply touched her with her wand, and, at the same moment, her clothes were turned into cloth of gold and silver, all decked with jewels." (Charles Perrault...Cinderella)

They do bring a bit of shine and drama,

 those Silvers and Golds!

Have a Shiny Day!

Non-Food - But Very Sweet - Valentines

Valentines Day 

is TOMORROW. 

It's not too late to make it awesome.

Zero calories, lasting memories, and a clear conscience go with these sweet Valentine's Day gift and celebration ideas.  Plus, many of them are D-I-Y and  take about 5 minutes to do...I heart the wonderful people in my Pinterest community for the images and most of the ideas.

A nice ribbon, construction paper and a helping hand makes a beautiful 

simple garland to keep forever. Perhaps put notes on the Valentines:

A paper airplane with a heart cut-out attached, a sweet note...

For a man or a woman, one simple flower, with a look of love, will always work.

Love pipe cleaners!

Make together on Valentine's Day; Frame the memory.

If cash flow isn't an issue....

If your "Valentine" has a heart of stone, print this and make it into a card, or frame it.

And if you must do food:  pretty flowers, wine, cheese, fruit, bread, a fireplace, cushions and blankets, privacy, and your Loved One.

Have fun getting ready!
