Valentine's Day Party Ideas

Today Mom and I held a Valentine's Day party for the kids.

 They spent yesterday making card holders and special cards to deliver to one another.

 Mom was in charge of the decorations and I was in charge of treats.
See the sweet Paris chocolates Mom gave me---so cute!
We exchanged cards.

I served robot cupcakes...

 and some of my Valentine's Day Candy Corn Fudge.
It was a special day spent with Grandma!
Isn't my mom beautiful?  I've always been so proud to show her off!
I hope you'll join me for Homemaking Linkup Weekend.  I love to feature some of the neat posts that are linked up so please make sure and put my button or a text link on your blog so you'll be eligible to be featured!

 Here are some of my favorites of the week:
This article from Encourage Your Spouse really spoke to me as I'd never considered that our patience is a gift we can give others.  Great post, Lori! 
I think this egg cozy from Ash Tree Cottage is just the cutest!  I'd never heard of such a thing but, apparently, they've been around at least since Colonial days.
Jana of Double the Deliciousness shared this recipe for Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle at Or So She Says...  Doesn't it look so fresh and scrumptious?
Finally, I want to show off my thrifty find.  I adore the Lefton Miss Priss kitty set that was popular in the 1950s, but the pieces I've found on Etsy are way out of my price range.  I was so thrilled to find this lonely little shaker last week for 19 cents at Salvation Army!  Even though she's got a (repaired) crack on her dress and a chip on her nose, she's super special to me!
I'm running a giveaway for a free download of MyMemories Suite digital scrapbooking software.  Make sure to check it out---ends Feb. 25th.

 Now for the linkup.  Please remember to return the favor by adding my button or a text link to your post.  Have a great weekend!

    Hello Sarah,
    I am so happy you stopped by! I have been by several times today visiting your blog and wanted to leave a comment but there was no place to comment. Your comment thingy seemed to have disappeared. But this time, it showed up. I don't know what was wrong. Anyway, I'm glad I could comment this time so you would know I have been by.
    Looks like your Valentines Day was extra special. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Sara,

    I am back for my first time joining your party.

    You'd invited me in my Pink Valentine Tablescaping and I noted that.

    I will link the pink table too, in case some ladies would like to see the simple life in Sweden, §:-)

    TY for sharing the fun and TY too for coming and visiting me in Stockholm, Sweden.

    Happy w/end to all, including your gorgeous Mum.

    Greetings from Stockholm,

    Sarah, I tried to comment this morning but my service wasn't working. We live int the mountains and it happens to my dismay.

    My grands were here for Valentine's Day and we had a grand time with them. No pun intended. HA! Your party is delightful and I admire your family and your love for each other very much. My family is the same way. We are blessed.

    xo, Jeanne

    Hi, Sarah,
    I just linked up another post for you. Thanks you for making your link-up special. I didn't see Deep Roots in the list of places you share...you really link-up a lot ;) I will have to come back just to see where all I might do more linking, but alas, I often don't get extra time to do it.

    Your family is very precious!! What a blessing having your mom there with you for Valentine's Day!
