Our Valentine Dinner Dance Decor
Finally! Here are my unprofessional photos of the decorations. (They are in no specific order. I'm doing this so quickly that I hope I don't have too many misspellings and mistakes. Sorry!)
The colors were Red, Pink, White, and Gold.
I borrowed some lamps, furniture, and decor items from others to add to some of my own. With others help it turned out to be a beautiful event. The whole evening was wonderful. The meal and desserts were outstandingly delicious (luckily I had no part in that), and the dancing seemed to be enjoyed by all, even if they didn't dance (I had no part in that either, I was just responsible for the decor).
The dessert table before the desserts ...
and after desserts were set up ...
The garland was ripped fabric, ribbons, yarns, boas, lace, lights, etc. I wanted a textured look and it turned out just as I had hoped.
The empty punch bowl. I should have hired a photographer for the event :) I didn't time things very well. It was filled with a reddish pink punch that looked beautiful and tasted great.
The framed L (pink) O (white) V (red) E (gold) letters on the wall behind it turned out so great. We painted some dark letters, sanded them, antiqued them, and hung them on a frame. LOVED IT!
The entrance ...
I have loved the look of this collection of flowers in bottles for a long time, and was so happy to make it work here.
Decor at one end of the room (and more flowers in bottles)...
A Welcome bench at the entrance of the room ...
This picture didn't turn out and give the real look, but it's a light pink table with a beautiful lamp on it. There are two ruffled red pillows beside it.
We put a ripped fabric and ribbon canopy in a corner with a floor lamp inside it and loved the look.
This was one of my favorite corners. My desire was to create the look of a romantic hide-away. I was so pleased with the outcome...especially with the lights down low. (I was trying the different settings on my camera this night.)
Paper lanterns and tissue poms on one side of the room (and one guest table) ...
Two stands and one guest table (the boas and lamp shades are red - the photo makes them look pink, but they are not) ...
The dining tables were covered with white cloths and a square piece of pink or red fabric and coordinating cloth napkins in pink, red, or gold. The centerpieces were a collection of vases, bottles, candy bowls, candles, and beads. They looked a lot better than the photos show.

Happy Valentines Day!
Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines Day!
(Image is of a card we received from a secret friend years ago.)
It's going to be a busy day for me. I'll be decorating for a Valentine Dinner Dance all day until it's done. Sometime over the next few days I'll post photos of the decorations.

Valentine Stuff and Chocolate Chip Scones
Fun!
Cute sock covered bottle for a vase!
Yummy food I'd like to try - chocolate chip scones.
Heart shapes on skewers for fun Valentine food decor.
All from Two Shades of Pink
I cut and pasted the scones recipe from HERE
(It's the same site, different post)
Chocolate Chip Scones
1 stick of butter (the original recipe I found said 6 tablespoons but one day I just threw the whole stick in there. Simple. Convenient. Yummy.)
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup of buttermilk (more if needed)
1 cup milk chocolate chips (but I like LOTS so I put more in)
1 egg slightly beaten
Combine dry ingredients and then cut in the butter until the mixture looks crumbly like cornmeal. I don't own a pastry cutter so I just pound it with my whisk. Buy another whisk after you do this. After you get back, make a little well like hole in the mixture and pour the buttermilk in the well. The key to a good scone is MINIMAL MIXING AND HANDLING. Mix, fold, whatever it all together until just combined and add chocolate chips. At this point, I am unconventional and do them easy by just dropping them by the spoonful on a baking sheet. Brush tops with egg..
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes until just golden. Eat em' or give em' away. :)

God is Love

I DO NOT DO SUPERBOWL!
I DO NOT do Superbowl! But if I need a manly party, this is a post I'd use to help me chose what to serve. Actually, I don't need to wait for a manly party to wanna try these things.
This photo I'm sharing is Ice cream Sandwiches in Chocolate Shakes - yum!
Check out Sweet Designs for other great ideas.
The Chowder and Deli bar looks so delicious ... and the chocolate covered bacon ... oh yeah! - two of my favorites.
I would, of course, omit the beer! Even more than I DO NOT do Superbowl - I DO NOT do Beer!
