milk chocolate, dark chocolate,

LOVE

Burr, it was a good day to be inside today, so I've been working on some new Valentine's Day images for my iStock portfolio. February 14th will be here again before you know it!  It's always been one of my favorite holidays. How cool is it to have a special holiday in honor of LOVE, now really? Since my birthday is February 17th, it has always seemed like an extended one too! That, and we still continue the tradition of celebrating birthday week here in Sandy Land. I always try to plan something special for my special honey on that day. Even the critters usually get an extra treat or two. What do you usually do on St. Valentine's Day? Do you have any special memories or traditions?

And a Reminder: I am having A  Painting Giveaway this Friday at 3pm EST. Be sure to leave a comment and enter the contest if you would like a chance to win my little "Holiday Hummingbird" watercolor! 

A Labor Of Love

My husband, Jerry, loves sweets. As a special surprise for Valentine's Day, I decided to make him his favorite homemade sugar cookies today. In fact, he loves them so much, we call them Jerry's Sugar Cookies.


I made a double batch. I've got plenty of trays, so I rolled and cut out all the cookies before I even turned on the oven. Here's a shot of the cookies all cut and decorated waiting to be baked.


TaDa...The finished product. I only encountered one casualty - a minor burn. And I over browned only one pan which happened when I decided to call my friend, Bobbie, and got distracted at the very end. This is definitely a labor of love as it took me the better part of the afternoon. No wonder so many of us remember our grammas with such respect and love!


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYBODY! I hope it's sweet!

The Art Of Love

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!
