We love coming up with fun valentines to make and give. Here are some of our favorites (many are candy free!):
3-D Lollipop Valentines - Easy! And a big hit. Try it with crazy straws or pencils too.
Fortune Teller Valentines - with free printable!
You Blow Me Away, Valentine! - Everyone loves party blowers. : )
Wild Animal Valentines - Family Fun Magazine requested my idea for their latest issue.
Mad Lib Valentines - Family Fun requested this idea too!
Friendship Bracelet Valentines
And here are a few more ideas I've featured over the years that I bet you'll love:
- Fresh Fruit Valentines
- Color Theory Valentines
- DIY Scratch Off Valentines
- Shaving Cream Valentines
- Mini Valentine Boxes
Here's something fun. Our family was featured in an episode of House Hunters International! Spoiler: we choose the gorgeous French Farmhouse. It's called La Cressonnière and we take pictures of it all the time. If you're curious, try these links:

I love the SMEGs. A fridge you're proud to have:-)
I think this fridge could sell our townhome. Wish I had the guts to try it.
SO cool!
I could MAKE it work….
I'm so loving it, you guys! It would be easy to design a whole kitchen around one.
For real!!! I love it. I could totally make it work :)
Oh no. That's what I said! That would look so perfect in my mudroom/laundry room… It's got kind of a retro vibe.
They are so retro! My kitchen is painted green. Lime green. The paint color is, "Lime Ricky." I love bright colors in the kitchen.
oh so happy!
I love everything about it except for the word "smeg". It gives me the willies. I wish it wouldn't be staring me in the face every time I walked into the kitchen.
Yes, I am a weirdo.
I have been crushing on SMEG for awhile. They are so in my dream kitchen makeover. Sigh!

love these.
I'm with HappyFamily on this one. Its kind of an unfortunate name. If they were to re-name it for the US market I bet they'd do even better.
Wouldn't match my house but the pink one would look great in my daughter's kitchen. She would love it!
I really love the side-by-side style because the freezer is better that way. If they made one that looked like these, I'd be in heaven! I adore the light blue.
I love these!
They are BEAUTIFUL fridges but having one would definitely make me lose my appetite. That name….ok I can't even type without laughing. I just won't go there I guess.
why yes- it would! i live in an 80 year old farm house and she is just screaming for one of these!
I love my Cherry Red fridge from Big Chill (bigchillfridge.com). Trying to decide if I want a dishwasher to match!
As a Red Dwarf fan, I’d love to have this fridge!
