Valentine Blessings


Warming up to February
is done by sipping hot coffee, sampling heart shaped cookies and cupcakes.
Giving Valentines to LOVED ONES is a must.

~Please join me at Home Haven~




Adding character to my HOME doesn't have to cost a lot.

My $10 walnut sideboard is sprinkled with $1 TARGET pink hearts
and decorated with $1 candelabras bought at a Thrift Sale 
which hold red taper candles from Dollar General. 
The red table runner is from BIG LOTS.
The crystal came from my favorite Thrift Shop and I paid a whopping $8
for this piece of lead crystal glass that was still in her box.
Hanging above it all is a $28 framed print.

~Home Haven Peanut Butter Cookies~
These cookies were baked in a heart shaped Wilton pan until done.  Cooled in pan and then popped out.

ingredients:
peanut butter...1 Cup
sugar...1 Cup
egg...1 medium size 
In bowl mix ingredients well.
Scoop amount needed and place in heartshaped pan.



If making usual cookies, shape dough into balls and flatten dough with fork.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 9 minutes at 350 degrees.

These heart shaped cookies could find their way onto any table this time of year!


Tablescape Thursdays celebrates a variety of tablescapes found over at 
http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ hosted by Susan!
This is so much fun and I want to participate with
our table that was decorated for a Coffee-Mate Party 
where my daughter invited neighborhood Ladies 
over for an evening of Coffee and Chatting Away.


We had a great time.
Because my daughter signed up for the Coffee-Mate Party and was accepted as a Hostess, 
she received a bright red apron, cups, napkins, cook book, recipe cards,
Coffee-Mate coupons, coffee samples, and Wilton Heart Shape Mold. 
Join the PARTY!!!!

I want some. "8^)

Love that old walnut side board. Remember carrying it 4 blocks to our house from a garage sale. It was so dark, nearly black. Amazing what stripper and tung oil does for an old piece like that.

Your Valentine.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
