Hope you had a Great Valentine's Day

Well, the {big} day in February has come and gone.  We truly hope that you had a great day and that you had someone special to spend it with.

We know that each holiday has different meanings to different people and for some, may even be bittersweet.  We hope you feel encouraged by the words of Jeremiah 31:3

The Lord appeared from of old to me {Israel}, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.

May you know the love and faithfulness of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  He is always faithful and true!

Yummy Valentine Inspired Sweets

Neither Amy nor I are very good cooks.  We do what is necessary to live, but beyond that there is no ability to create beautiful food!  But, I am telling you, if I continue to stumble upon beautiful sweets like the ones I am about to show you I am probably going to sign up for a baking class and begin practicing!

These are so fun!  If you are a baker I hope you find some great inspiration in these and give them a try!  If you do, send us a picture of your final product, we would love to see it!

The first two pictures were found at bakerella.com and the last one at Girl.Inspired..
