I'M SENDING OUT VALENTINE.......



YOU ALL know our sweet, APRON QUEEN, KATHY over at KATHY'S COTTAGE..
I think this photo of her sweetness, behind the luscious PINK and WHITE roses is the essence of
VALENTINES DAY....
*
She once, a long time ago, had a post about remembering our
"REAL" LIFE FRIENDS and FAMILY
in some of the gifts that we mail out to each other in BLOGLAND.
*
THAT POST HAS REALLY STAYED WITH ME,
KATHY GIRL...
*
I am sending out VALENTINE LOVE packages to some of my
SECRET friends and family this year. Not just HANDING them a gift...
NO SIREEE...they will get them in the mail because, well, we ALL
know how fun it is to get an UNEXPECTED package in the mail.....
*
There's going to be, OF COURSE....
VALENTINE CANDIES...(maybe even a little CHOCOLATE !!)
*

AND....a sweet-smelling VALENTINE CANDLE (or two)
*
and, what would a box of VALENTINE GOODIES be without
SWEET COOKIE HEARTS !!

AND...of course there will be VALENTINES galore....
OH, YES, KATHY....
I AM SENDING OUT VALENTINE LOVE
and they all have YOU to thank !! tee hee...

*******

SOOO, BlogLadies, think about sending some Valentine Love to YOUR family and/or friends, right there in your real live life....
********************************************************
XO bj

Oh, yes...I wanted to show off my OLD cookie jar, WEARING WORDS, now...

Our twins, FRAN and FERN, at TWICE AS NICE, have a neat new business and it is all about WORDS ! I ordered a sign but, ALAS, I can not show it to you...the one it is for reads my blog daily and I can't ruin the surprise!

ANYWAY...these sweet ladies included these cute words to go on my cookie jar...which, by the way, needs to be filled up with VALENTINE COOKIES !! * MANY THANKS, LADIES...Be sure to go over to their site and check out the most wonderful signs...and believe me, they do such perfect work, I can't even express it...ya gotta go see for yourself.

XO XO XO XO

BJ, we all want you to be our Valentine. You are the sweetest of the sweet.

Now, that I've "buttered" you up, may I have one of those pretty cookies? ;-)

Ah, you know I love you.

Stacey said...

BJ, you are so right about remembering our real life friends. I need to be so much better about that. The intentions are always there but don't always get acted on.

Love your picture of Kiefer Sutherland...I saw him from a distance once at a hotel in Canada. :)

Good morning BJ! My house was built by the Beddow family way back in 1862 and I have been blessed to have several family members stop and they all have one shared memory in common to date....and this is where Grandma kept the cookie jar. Bottom left hand door of my built in cupboard. What a sweet memory...Grandma's cookie jar.
Have a great day!

Hi BJ...what a sweet notion you've had today! There is no better time than Valentine's Day to share a hug or more with special loves & friends...I heard Keifer in an interview say he & his dad Donald never really had a relationship
...sad... ;-) Bo
