Valentine Food, Fashion and Crafts Linky party

I have picked some really colorful, delicious and pretty ideas for this weeks linky party! Valentine food, fashion and crafts all in one place. This is like getting your favorite magazine delivered every week with new and exciting things to inspire you.

How many of you like me subscribed to lots of magazines back in the day? I could not wait to get my magazine in the mail. It was always so relaxing to take a few minutes and get lost in the pictures from the magazines. This linky party has the same appeal for me. I can’t wait each week to see all the cool things you all have been up to.

Linky party highlights

Here are the four bloggers that I chose from last weeks party.

I am starting off with this bright plaid shacket outfit from Le Stylo Rouge. How fun is this outfit! It looks so cute with her jeans and nike sneakers.

Love the idea of having fondue for Valentine’s day. Family and the lake house is showing how to put this fondue night together. Plus she has a a link of where to buy this adorable fondue set.

Making Valentine food is such a fun way to celebrate the holiday.

I love these kinds of wafer cookies! Vanilla and strawberry wafer cookies are what I use for tea parties with my grand kids.

Flour on my face shows how to make them extra fancy for Valentine’s day by dipping them in melted chocolate. Such a fun way to make Valentine food fun!

This pretty paper rose tutorial by the Ponds Farm House is such a fun way to bring a touch of Valentine’s day by using them as place cards for your Valentine’s day table!

I love the look of old yellowing book pages and using them to make fun things like these roses.
