Are you dying over this adorable valentine heart shaped wreath? It’s so fluffy! An organized season made this using teaddy bear yarn! Make sure you pop over to get her easy directions.

It reminds me of the fluffy white yarn wreath I made that was an Anthropology knock off.

Karins Kottage Happenings

I have Valentine’s day on my mind these days. I made some yummy pink Valentine heart shaped spritz cookies. Spritz cookies are a total favorite of mine. Usually I make them only at Christmas time in red and green but I wanted to try making them for Valentine’s day.

As a grandma I have to practice don’t I? 😉 The recipe is here

Pink Valentine spritz cookies- Karins Kottage

To serve this adorable cookies I decided to make some really cute DIY Valentine treat bags. I used waxed paper liners. A little sewing is involved but not much. They are worth making for your family and friends.

They just look so cute!
