i've been on a creative bender this week. 🙂

wheels spinning, plans being made, ideas forming.

i've decided i want to do a special blog series for the month of february.

a month of "love lists". things i love (interpreted in all different sorts of ways).

february is, after all, my favorite month. and valentine's day is my favorite holiday.

pink,red,sparkle,lace,hearts,doilies,love…what's not to love for a girly girl like me?

so i decided i'll celebrate it in style.

with new posts all month long. projects,giveaways, favorite things, decor, style, journaling ideas,product ideas, you name it.

i asked for ideas about what you guys might like to see on my facebook page and i got some awesome ideas.

do you have anything you'd like to see? anything you don't want to see?

i'd love to hear. i'm SO excited and hope you will be too!

have a beautiful,blessed weekend.

xxo

  2. Oh boy, this will be fun! Stephanie, you are always so good with your color combinations. I would love for you to create some different “Valentine” color combinations…although pink/red/white is pretty, it doesn’t always match my Tuscany colors at home! Just an idea…

  4. I’m no help here…I love your blog ’cause you have a great balance of “creations”, decorations, family time, pics etc…but for february…how ’bout what you cook for the kiddo’s, what special things do you do for them?….oh, and more banners, love your banners for decorations.

  5. That will certainly brighten up the dark days of winter around here! 🙂 Thanks for putting that together. I’m sure I’ll eat up everything you put together but I would throw out there that not all of us are in relationships and we don’t all have children. While I by no means expect that you would tailor it that direction, I would love to see anything you come across that might be well suited to someone like me. Thanks Steph!

  7. I already gave some ideas, but I am brainstorming for more, I LOVE always what you post though! Just pictures of the chickies everyday along with layouts scattered around make me HAPPY!!!!

  8. What about some altered items?? Always love those, am sure you will come up with something fantastic!!! Thanks Steph!

  9. Oh boy I can’t wait! Can we start early enough so if we want to copy or make some of the ideas we can. It’s gonna be a heart party.

  10. Gotta throw in some love for our military, please!
    Oh-and congrats on the new assignment. I can’t imagine that you even got all of your boxes unpacked in GA!??

  12. I have a supreme challenge for you! Stuff that boys would enjoy during February, the month of doilies, pink, and frills! TEEHEE!! I have two boys, you know, and one girl…makes it tough!!!

  13. I’ve been so busy lately I’ve neglected my usual blog reading. Love the idea for Feb. Also just wanted to say thank you for all you put on your blog-as a working mom of 3 I don’t get out much but your blog inspires me to be a better mom-take care of myself-listen to God-be creative. I don’t always post comments but thank you and Merry Christmas!

  15. IT would be great to see the cute Valentine decorating ideas at the end of January so we have time to make them and put them up in February!

  16. I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day fan, but I do look forward to following along with you. Maybe you’ll bring me over to the other side 🙂

  19. How about a special box or container to collect sweet little Valentine messages and love notes leading up to Valentine’s Day? Or maybe an interactive journal in which family members can write messages about what they love about each other?

  21. LOVE this idea :). I would love to see lists of things you like, and would like to see things you are doing with your girls and husband for Valentine’s Day. I always enjoy the posts where you journal about mothering etc. They always make me tear up, as do your photos. I guess being a mother of three girls myself, sometimes I feel like you are saying exactly what I feel LOL!!! So I would enjoy some posts of this type, and lots of photos of decor ideas, kiddie craft ideas, and maybe ways to show our kids/husbands how much we love them in the month of February. 🙂

  22. How about
    some easy home decor ideas
    projects to do with kidlets
    Nummy treat ideas!
    HTH!
    So excited for this! 🙂

  23. books, quotes, characters in books
    what you love about yourself
    letter to younger you
    letter to future you
    how to keep romance in your life, love in your life, making every day special – that kind of thing.
    silly loves (like, for example, I love eating the outside of the kit-kat chocolate and then each wafer separately)
    the best valentines day you’ve had pre-jimmy, with jimmy
    your top 10 favorite personal layouts
    how your heart grows with each child (i’m sure you can find a better way to word this one)

  25. I would love to see your thought process behind your party plans… you always have the cutest party set-ups for your girls! 🙂

  27. Hey Steph!! I can’t remember where I read it, but somewhere you wrote that you use design priciples and visual triangles (I think that’s what you called it) when you make your layouts.
    I’d loev to see some tutorials/reccommendations on how you do that, books you’ve read about it/sites etc etc.
    I’d love to know more about it 🙂
    other than that–honestly, ANYTHING! I love everything you do 🙂
