My Valentine Mantel and living room

I am loving red!
Works well in this room, I think. I would not want it all year round, but for the month or so, I do enjoy it.

 How about taking some plain pine cones and embellishing a bit with cinnamon candy..looks really cute.
 This smells really good, bad thing is I yearn for a cupcake

 I really love decorating with scrabble




love to you and your loved ones!
Thanks for stopping by, and for your sweet gracious comments.

I will be joining Kim for her Boring to Better Party, because adding red certainly makes it less boring.
And our friend Beth from A to Z for her mantel party.
Marty for table top Tuesday

Calling all Newbies...linky party at my place Monday morning...be here or be square...How lame is that saying? Read all about it HERE

Pet partay has been a huge success. My family and I really enjoyed it. I will be doing another one in the future, details to come.
Some of your links were broken...please tell me if I have not visited you yet. I hit all of them that were working.  Last day to get in on it if you want HERE

Love all of your home decor Debbie...most of all I'm thrilled with your photography skills...I don't think I've ever seen anyone progress as fast as you have...Kudos girl...you're doing an awesome job with that camera!!!

Sweet! Get it? Okay, I'm full of it today. Seriously though, this looks wonderful. I love your banner too! The red really does look great in your home. I'm like you, just can't live with all year. I bet that candle does smell good. There was one similar to that smell at Marshalls that I kept going back to get all holiday but never would let myself get it because I have so many already, but it smelled that good I really wanted too. :)

Cute Valentine mantel. Love the touches of red in your home. Thanks for joining the party again. I have a candle that smells like a sugar cookie and it makes me hungry, too.

Looks great, Debbie! I like the red touches. I'm not much of a pink girl, but I like red!

If I can get my act together, I'm going to copy your Scrabble tiles idea. I'll give you credit if I blog about it! (I especially like the XO--never would've thought of that!).

You know- I just had one of those AH-HA moments reading your blog. Guys would probably like candles more if then came in scents like Roast Beef W/Gravy....or Fresh Fried Fish...doncha think?

Loving your red touches here and there. I like a little bit too..especially from Christmas through Valentine's Day. Hugs-Diana

What fun Valentine's vignettes! You've splashed the sweet holiday all over so nicely! Love the "x" and "o" pieces ... and the scrabble touches are too cute! And, while I love your cupcake candle, I'd want one (or 12), too! Have a great night, Becca

Love your touches of red. Valentines doesn't have to be too cutesy (unless you have little ones), it can be classy.

I like the books, hearts, and scrabble letters on your mantel. I would love to smell the cupcake candle. I bet it makes your whole house smell like a bakery! I need some Valentine's Day inspiration. I have not decorated at all yet! :D

Love all the little touches. I always use food scented candles, so I can understand the cupcake craving. I'm a sucker for all scrabble tile projects, so I absolutely love how you've used them for your Valentine's decorating. Thanks for sharing.

Your decorations are, as always, unusual and visually stunning. I really love all of the elements.

My mom, my daughter, and I spent over an hour last night going through the pet party links and had an absolute blast. Savannah is totally in love with Lucy, my mother loved the tan pugs, and I really regret not having gotten ferrets at some point. When I saw that pair in the tub, I was in hysterics!

P.S. I avoid dessert scented candles like the plague- they make my tummy growl. You're a brave woman.
