ReplyDeleteCute ideas! Have a great week, Patti!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas. I'll add you to my party list, Patti. I love the checked heart.
ReplyDeletePatti this is amazing! I LOVE the checkerboard heart.
ReplyDeletePatti, these ideas are just too cute! I love the spray painting of hearts in the snow...wish we had snow! :-) I've added you to my list on my blog! So glad to be joining you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour ideas are always so clever. I'm a follower of most all these blogs and I don't really understand being late to the party when you posted at 6am, but whatever.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas, Patti. It's hard to pick a favorite!
ReplyDeletePatti, I love them all....but those cookies!! I still haven't worked off my Christmas cookies, but I'm drooling over those hearts. Delish!!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable ideas! I love the little heart treat pouch! The cookies look divine!!!
ReplyDeleteAll great ideas! Christmas is all packed away here and the valentine things are soon to make an appearance.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some snow to paint! But I'm sure going to try all your other beautiful ideas. Valentines is probably my favorite holiday. How can you go wrong with hearts and chocolate?
ReplyDeleteI love your painted check things Patti! You've given me some ideas...

Love all the sweet things you came up with for Valentine's {and I pinned almost all of them!}, Patti! This is definitely a fun blog hop to be on ~ happy to be with you today. :) I agree with Benita above, the hearts in the snowbank are genius!!! <3
ReplyDeleteHappy hugs to you,
Barb :)
Hi Patti! I love all your Valentine's ideas and all the hearts are precious. <3 Of course the heart-shaped cookies make me want to eat them. ;) Just stopping back by to read your post this evening and to pin a few more photos for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy to be an alternate with you on this 10 on the 10th blog hop,
Hugs,
Barb :)
Great ideas. Especially when we look around the house and find things that work together for a fun vignette. And oh my, those mini cookies looked extremely yummy!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun heart ideas.
ReplyDeleteThe Hershey Kiss idea won't work here because the dish would be empty too quickly.
Patti, thanks so much for sharing this month's Ten on the 10th Valentine theme. You have some great ideas too and I'm so glad you shared them. I could do them all ~ except for the snow bank, which is so cute ~ but we don't get that kind of snow here in Texas. I wonder if it will work on ice!Keep the good stuff coming.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute ideas Patti! Love that stitched heart pouch with felt. Nothing like some hand made love to make Valentine’s even more special!
ReplyDeleteVery cute ideas patti. Valentines will soon be here.
ReplyDeleteI'm late too Patti! So many cute ideas for Valentine's Day fun. I'll have to pass on the snowbanks, I don't have any :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all your hearts............Happy week.
I wish you could have included jewelry in the list because women love jewelry, especially as a Valentine gift. But I really loved your over all post ideas. I would definitely try some of these paired with jewelry (of course) ;
