People all over the world are thinking about the 12 Days of Valentine's Day already.I know this because they are Googling "12 Days of Valentine's Day" and coming to my site! In 2008 and 2009, I gave hints, tips and suggestions for making the 12 days leading up to Valentine's Day special for friends and family.
This is my philosophy:
The "12 Days of Valentine's Day" are about expressing joy and love for the great people in your life - spouse, parents, neighbors, teachers, friends, family.
It celebrates the fact that it is fun and inexpensive to eat heart-shaped food and wear pink. Seriously.
I can't possibly fit all the "celebrating" I want to do in one day, so the Twelve Days of Valentine's Day are perfect. It all starts on February 3rd.
In the meantime, look back at my suggestions from prior years and starting thinking about how you would like to celebrate the 12 Days of Valentine's Day. Make strawberry muffins? Put on the pink pillowcases? The tiniest gesture counts when it is done with love. And people love to talk about it, so spread the word.
And while you're at it, pick up some pink sprinkles. I know you'll use them.

Pink, not red? How did you make those little snowballs pink? I always thought they were white only.
Actually, ther are not snowballs. It is some unusal branch of berries I found in the farmers mkt this summer. Can't remember the name, but they were darling!
