The party was really fun. It was great to spend time with friends, new and old, and eat lots of fantastic food; I'm guessing you want to see the Valentines we all exchanged. That was always my favorite part of reading my sister's posts about her Valentine Parties.
I took a few quick photos of each gift. I know that some of the ladies got their ideas of off Pinterest so if you happen to see one that you have a source for please let me know in the comments and I'll add it here!
Row 1: (Left) A cute smores kit using heart-shaped peeps for the marshmallows. (Center) Sarah made homemade hot fudge and packaged it with a hand stamped wooden spoon. (Right) A cup of treats with a really adorable felt bookmark.
Row 2: (Left) Beautifully decorated sugar cookies, and (Right) Amanda made dish towels she appliqued with a heart and added some treats.
Row 3: (Left) I found these light bulb vases at Hobby Lobby and knew I wanted to make a picture holder with them. I wired a heart to come out of the top with a star hanging inside and a quote from one of my favorite songs. (Center) I love the little bouquet of flowers in a paper cone which one of my friends brought. It reminds me of how Valentines would have been in Victorian times. (Right) Lastly, a beautiful burlap pin board.
There were so many fun ideas; hopefully some of them can inspire you, too!
It's always a pealsure to hear from someone with expertise.
