There's not much I enjoy about commercialism, however I love that Valentines day is based on, well, love! All those red and pink items shouting out love and romance, chocolates, stuffed toys, red roses and restaurant bookings to be made for that love connection over a meal. If we don't want to 'buy' into yet another retail merchandising episode there are plenty of ways we can celebrate and show some love to those around us. Here's a couple of things I've done in the past -
Nothing says love quite like heart shaped pikelets - made using heart shaped egg rings
These are cupcakes I made for my daughters 1st birthday
but would look great for sharing on Valentines day.
A little bit of love displayed at a ladies morning tea
How easy to make some cookies! These are placed in blank cd envelopes.
A mini love bar for my family, candles, flowers and sweet treats!
I cut out the fabrics hearts, sewed them up after filling with a
bit of stuffing and put them in a jar for a cute display.
Here's my youngest daughter sharing the love
on Valentines day 5 years ago now!
With only a few days left to go, I'll have to get my thinking cap on for how to show some love this year!
