Remember in school, we would participate in the Valentine's Day Candy Grams? 
Well i thought why not bring it to blogland? 
Of course it's only going to work if there are participants.
Basically here is how it would work.


1.Send me an email if you are interested 
with a few items you want on your list 
2. Bloggers would be paired up
3. Purchase an item on the list and spruce it up with other fun items
4. Spend at least $20 before packaging and shipping
5. Send your package at least ten days before Feb. 14th, 2012 in order for the item to be received on time
6. We would participate in a link up February 13th, 2012
 to reveal all our goodies
7. Great way to add a little extra fun to someone's Valentine's Day!

Feel free to send me an email at dapancakes@gmail.com if you are interested in participating.

  5. I love the saying, "Let go & let God." It's also one of my favorites, right after "Be still and know that I am God." And the one thing I can't leave my house without is chapstick, because I too HATE having chapped lips.

    What did you get your Masters degree in?! That is a great accomplishment!

  12. I love that your favorite color is yellow. I used to have a yellow bug (VW Beetle) and I bought it for that same reason just looking at it would make me smile. I like this cute V-Day link up idea. Very unique!
