Can you believe that it will be February on Saturday? I am kind of in shock how fast the month of January flew by. I know I should accustomed to it by now but I thought only warm days went by quickly and it has definitely NOT been warm around here. February brings with it, of course, Valentine’s days filled with chocolates, flowers and awesome Valentine’s Day craft ideas. Knowing everyone like a little inspiration now and then, I am sharing 25 ideas for Valentine’s Day to get you in the mood.

Flashback Post – Valentine’s Day Countdown Calendar
Advent calendars are HUGE for Christmas countdowns. I do one every year and love it. After Christmas comes, it seems like a little bit of a let down that we aren’t counting down to any other holidays. So, last year, I decided to create a Valentine’s Day Countdown Calendar to keep up the fun of holiday countdowns. I am re-sharing it this year because a) last year’s photos were awful and b) I want to make sure you saw it 🙂

Chocolate Strawberry Hearts
Turn strawberries and chocolate into the ultimate Valentine’s Day dessert and make some Chocolate Strawberry Hearts at home this year!
Chocolate covered strawberries are my absolute favorite treat. I love getting them for Valentine’s Day because they are my special treat for the holiday. Every year, we order chocolate covered strawberries from the candy store. It is super expensive and, although they are so delicious, I decided to try something different this year and create some Chocolate Strawberry Hearts.

The Perfect Valentine’s Day Dinner at Home #Valentines4All
Ahhh, Valentine’s Day. It is a great day to remind the one that you love exactly how much you love them by spending way too much money on overpriced flowers and a fancy dinner out in a crowded restaurant that is serving ‘eh’ tasting food because the kitchen is just so busy. Of course, you’ll pay double the normal amount for the prix fixe menu because it is a privilege to get less choices and slower service. How about doing something a little different this year and having the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner at home! Yep…at home!

Valentine’s Day Button Art
Yesteday I shared my Valentine’s Day burlap pennant banner and I was all boo hoo in that post about how long it took to put together because I kept running out of the right sized buttons. Perhaps you were wondering why I was running out of buttons? Or perhaps I am the only one that thinks like that 😉 Well, I had made some Valentine’s Day button art as a quick project earlier and that was where all the right sized buttons went!

Valentine’s Day Stenciled Burlap Pennant Banner
We’re not crazy Valentine’s decorators around here. After all of the Christmas decorating and un-decorating, I am just a little too lazy to really do much so I tend to leave a lot of the winter decorations that I used as part of Christmas up in the house. I do pump a little bit of pink and red here and there though like this Valentine’s Day burlap pennant banner I made over the weekend.

Roast Beef Crostini
Appetizers are my favorite thing to make. Roast Beef Crostini are quick and easy but will be the star of your next party because they are full of flavor!
From the time mid-November hits until after the Superbowl, parties happen weekend after weekend leaving you searching for what to make that everyone hasn’t had ten times already. I have a few go to recipes that I make for every party but like to change it up from time to time to keep it fresh.

Toffee and Chocolate Eggnog Bark
Sweet treats are pretty much all I want during Christmas time. From fudge to cookies to cheesecakes and candies, I just can’t get enough. Another one of my favorites is definitely different kinds of “bark” candy. I was trying to find new flavors to make into bark and that is how this toffee and chocolate eggnog bark was born.
