Holidays, February Holiday Ideas
The calendar pages of January are quickly flipping by
and February is on the horizon…
I love all holidays and love to decorate and celebrate!
Valentine’s Day and Fat Tuesday,
the last day of the Mardi Gras season are such fun,
Let’s get in the mood to celebrate these holidays
with some crafts, decorations and recipes!
You can make a heart wreath to decorate your home with coat hangers
and torn fabric scraps or ribbons tutorial here
or put Valentine’s Day on a Tray
You can make a hugs and kisses table runner or place mats
with butcher paper or freezer paper and paint
Make napkin rings with ribbon and paint or marker
You can see more about it here
Show your family or friends some love with
Raspberry Bread Pudding can be served for breakfast, brunch or dessert
How about a sweet treat like Chocolate Ravioli
A trifle dessert is impressive, yet easy to make
Or how about Valentine Snack Mix made with peanut butter and bacon,
now that’s true love!!
Fat Tuesday, the final day of Mardi Gras,
is a week after Valentine’s Day this year,
falling on February 21
Celebrating Mardi Gras is very popular in the deep South,
join the festivities with some Mardi Gras decor!
You can paint a board to display
Make a Festive Wreath with mesh ribbon and beads
Make a centerpiece or a vignette with gold, purple and green
If Mardi Gras decor isn’t available in your area,
Amazon has a huge selection here
And it’s not Fat Tuesday without some Mardi Gras food!
You can add a Mardi Gras flower arrangement to your home
with green, purple and golden yellow flowers
and munch on delicious Praline Party Mix
Get festive and add a splash of bourbon, Brussels sprouts and bacon
to your mac & cheese for Amped Up Mac & Cheese
I’ll be transitioning my house this week from snowmen and winter
to hearts
and green, purple and gold!
I hope I’ve inspired you to join in
the upcoming February holiday fun!

I love your cute ideas for Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day! I (might) try to bake a King Cake later….we’ll see! Trip has been begging for one.
Thanks RJ! I bought a king cake at Publix last week and it’s not very good, a home made one would be much better!
