Happy Monday! Today has proved to be one of those Mondays I should have stayed in bed for :). It's been a doozie! Looking forward to a fun night though, watching my little girl play her first basketball game of the season and spending some time with my husband...it's going to be a great Monday if I have anything to say about it!
Just working away on a few Valentine treats and thought I'd share. One of my most favorite ways to package up treats is to use Papertrey Ink's Essential Pillow Box die. It's just the perfect size for sweet, small treats, and I love using it with my favorite patterned papers.
I used sentiments on each of my boxes from the Cupid's Arrow stamp set, and stamped them on a Double Ended Banner die.
I used papers from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Heirloom collection and combined them with the Limitless Layers: 2 1/4" Hearts dies.
And, I'm always ready to try new cookie recipes and ran across Dump Bowl Cookies posted by Mish Wooderson, and thought they lookied so good, I would try them. They did not disappoint. I'm keeping this recipe for times when I'm craving a little peanut butter...so yummy!
Freckled Fawn's February OHDEERME Embellishment kit is up for grabs and it's darling! Here's a peek at what you'll find inside. I'll have projects to share with you soon.

I thought I'd start my week out with this quote in mind....something I need to do a much better job at, looking with my heart.
Enjoy your Monday.
