Well, as the title reads, "I Give Up!" I have decided to embrace all things Valentines because you guys are just too darn creative for me not to! I truly enjoyed all your wonderful links from last week's party. If you missed it, click <a href="https://www.shoestringeleganceblog.com/2023/02/happy-february-and-groundhog-day.html">here</a> to see all the wonderful posts. I'm keeping busy with all my heirloom veggie starts these days and looking forward to Spring more than usual. It's amazing how simple little practices can change your whole perspective. With that said, I hope you all enjoy a beautiful Valentine's week with those you love around you. Let's look at a few posts that caught my eye last week! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Wendy from WM Design House shared this beautiful post on <a href="https://wmdesignhouse.com/tea-dyed-diy-valentine-wreath/">How to make a Creative Valentine’s Day Wreath using Tea</a> Great tutorial! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://wmdesignhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="680" height="576" src="https://wmdesignhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture-1.png" width="640"></a><span></span></div><a href="https://www.shoestringeleganceblog.com/2023/02/i-give-uphappy-valentines-day-week.html#more">(Read More...)</a>Theresa @ Shoestring Elegancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00978860230397910232noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957580543842301101.post-8550776431886059752023-02-02T08:00:00.093-08:002023-02-02T08:00:00.182-08:00Happy February and Groundhog Day <p style="text-align: center;">Good morning and welcome friends! Well, here we are, <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">February already. And, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so bundle up for six more weeks of winter. What a weird month February is. Just 28 days long (but sometimes 29 every four years, which is so random when you think about it) Nonetheless, it’s great to be alive! Grateful for each moment and grateful to have you all here with us for another week of the Thursday Favorite Things party. I’m busy baking and getting everything ready for my Spring garden, there’s actually a lot of work to be done far before planting time, but I’m enjoying and excited about it all! </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Let’s look at a couple post that stuck out to me from last week’s party. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Thistle Key Lane’s </span><a href="https://thistlekeylane.com/strawberry-angel-food-delight-recipe/" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Strawberry Angel Food Delight</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/thistlekeylane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/strawberry-angel-food-delight-recipe-4.jpeg?w=700&ssl=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" height="640" src="https://i0.wp.com/thistlekeylane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/strawberry-angel-food-delight-recipe-4.jpeg?w=700&ssl=1" width="426"></a><span></span></div><a href="https://www.shoestringeleganceblog.com/2023/02/happy-february-and-groundhog-day.html#more">(Read More...)</a>Theresa @ Shoestring Elegancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00978860230397910232noreply@blogger.com5
