After spending much of January curled up
with an electric blanket,
I am dreaming of Spring!
Valentine’s Day, Mardis Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, …
the early Spring holidays are nice and spread out this year
so we will have plenty of time to enjoy each one of them!
Here are some inspirations for decorating,
crafting and cooking for these upcoming holidays

for instant Valentine decor
Fill a pretty mug or tea cup with Valentine goodies
for a Galentine gift
Glue wine corks together in a heart shape,
