Valentine Angel {Virtual Fridge}

This Week

Seeing it's going to be Valentine's day on Saturday I went looking for something easy to make.  I found this gorgeous little heart angel and fell in love.   You can find this FREE printable with a step by step tutorial on Jenny's blog Jenny Allsorts. (Here is a Valentine Angel from me to you)

Featured This Week
Loved seeing this calendar of firsts over at The Tiger Chronicle.  Scroll to the bottom of the post for two tutorials.  One on how to draw snow flakes and the other on how to draw a squirrel.

Your Turn

I invite you to take some photo's of your children's artistic pursuits put them in a post and link up with me I would love to come over and see the wonderful art your children have enjoyed doing.

70+ Resources for Valentines Day 2014

It's coming up to Valentine's Day soon.  I've just spent a little time online searching for some more resources to add to my list from last year.

Love is a verb and as such needs action.  I use Valentine's day to remember to tell those I love that I do. A couple of years ago (okay it's more than a couple more like a decade ...) I read the book The 5 Love Languages. This is one of those must read books on my list.  If you have not heard about love languages or how they impact you on a daily basis then please please buy the book and have a read.  I'm pleased to say they have a dedicated website now with loads of Tips and ideas as well as insights.

Here is a video to help clarify the love languages

TT - ♥ Valentines Day Resources ♥

Valentines Day is a wonderful time of the year to help us remember those we love. Often times we seem to get in a rut and forget to say I love you.
I love you should never just be mere words, love needs to be a VERB. I've been thinking about this over the last week and just how much my Saviour loved me. As He said: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:3 and He did so for me. As I page through the word I realize more and more just how much the Lord uses the word love in an active and action form. From this I have been inspired to find some resources to show love in a deep and meaningful way.

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library and add your post to Learning All the Time Favourite Resource Link Up.
