The Celebration Shoppe
I sat around trying to think of a fun way to show our customers, loyal readers of my blog, bloggers who have shared the shoppe and candidly anyone intrigued enough to stop by, how much we “heart” them on Valentine’s Day.

I always start with an inspiration board, so I thought I would share a few of the items that made my bling and blue list: Cocktail, paper lanterns, cake & flowers via Martha Stewart Weddings Austrian crystal heels via Shoella.com Pearl brownie …
My dad’s favorite Christmas special of all time is The Grinch That Stole Christmas (you know, the old 30 minute animated one). When we were kids I believe he had more fun stomping around pretending that he didn’t like Christmas (and giggling each time we got grumpy with him about it) than he did eating …
My boys and I are going to try out a few no-bake gingerbread houses (using graham crackers) tomorrow. I collected these from Martha Stewart for inspiration. Ours my not turn out as perfect, but you can bet they’ll be creative. {wink} Enjoy!
