Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day friends!

We hope you have a happy and fun day, spending time with those who are most important in your life...and that does not mean you need to have a boyfriend to enjoy the holiday!!

Go get ice cream with your friends or maybe heart attack someone's house!

Play a game with your siblings or do an act of service for your parents.

Or watch the funny video below from our favorite Studio C :) It's awesome.

Also, check out our posts from the last 2 weeks in the Acts of Love series

for ideas on how you can brighten someone's day and help them feel loved on this special holiday.

Acts of Love: Tissue Paper Flowers

Who doesn't love getting flowers!!!!

You could make these easy (and much cheaper than real flowers) Tissue Paper Flowers

for your BFF, mom, grandma, neighbor, or someone else who you think could use some

flowers to brighten their day.

Look below for the links to these easy flower tutorials

and check out our other Acts of Love for ideas of how you can show love for Valentine's Day!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

These easy steps from Craft by Photo

will help you make adorable flowers ;)

We love this multi-colored flower tutorial

from One Crafty Mama

These cool flowers from One Little Project At A Time

use a ball to make the fun and pretty shape!

Lia Griffith shows you how to make these

adorable Poppies!! Seriously, I love these!

Acts of Love: Service Scavenger Hunt

These ideas for a Service Scavenger Hunt are all over the place online, especially Pinterest.

But we feel like it goes perfectly with our Acts of Love series these last two weeks!

So grab some friends, maybe your family, or your YW group and GO SERVE!

It will be FUN and you'll brighten someone's day!

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find this free printable at Thirty Handmade Days - a great checklist!

At All Things Bright & Beautiful, this free printable  using points!

This one can't be done in one night, but we loved it still!

Some great ideas here from The Princess & Her Cowboys

For a YW activity, this one stays at the church! 

You can find the pic here - source unknown.

On The List Again has this fun idea, 

and you're assigned specific houses to visit!

Acts of Love: Respond With Love

We're getting a head start on tomorrow's Acts of Love!

Most of the time we don't have to give a gift or do an act of service to show love,

we can show love in how we interact with others.

So think about how you can better respond with love towards your family, friends, etc.

I promise it will brighten your day and help others feel respected and loved!

Acts of Love: Brighten Someone's Day

We love this idea from Capital B to help brighten someone's day!

Just print off her free printable, attach to some fun bright candy

and take to someone special!

This is a great Acts of Love for FHE tonight, a YW Activity, or to just do on your own!!!!

Acts of Love: Saying Thanks

Sometimes the best way to show you love someone is to just say "thank you"! 

For Acts of Love today, find a way to say thanks to someone you love - your mom, your BFF, etc!

You could write a note, give a hug, make a treat, or help them with a chore.

Another fun idea is to print off these Free Gratitude Cards from Skip To My Lou and 

leave them hidden around for that someone to find. 

Who doesn't love getting surprise thank you notes?!?!?!

Acts of Love: Sending Sunshine

Do you have a friend or relative that lives far away? 

Even though miles may separate you, you can still show an Act of Love by sending them some Sunshine!

We found so many ideas online for Sending Sunshine, but we'll just share a few of our favorites!

All of them are sure to make someone very happy and feel very loved.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of making an entire box,

you could make a more simple version like this

Jar of Sunshine from Lovesome

A cute idea from Happy Money Saver

that includes some free printables you could include in your box

From Sassy Style a cute Pocketful of Sunshine

along with ideas of yellow items that can be included!

Some ideas from Popular with the Poplins

for what to include in a Sunshine Box.

We loved how this box from Pillow Thought

was decorated with cute clouds and suns!

Acts of Love: Bishopric Must-Stache

For today's Act of Love we wanted to share this GREAT idea of a Bishopric Must-Stache!

You're Bishopric puts in a lot of time and service into their callings,

sometimes they probably feel like they spend more time at the church than home!

So why not do something to show your appreciation for them by leaving them a "Stache" of goodies!

We love this idea from Life.Design.and the Pursuit of Craftiness!

You can also find a similar take on it at the Farnsworth Blog.

The Young Women put on their best mustaches, went to the store for some treat-shopping,

and then presented it to the Bishopric in a cute little bucket that can stay in the Bishop's office.

What a fun idea, huh?

What other service could you do for your Bishopric? 

Acts of Love: Random Acts of Kindness

For an Act of Love today, think of doing a Random Act of Kindness for someone!

On the blog Seven Thirty Three you can find this cute free printable  that can be attached to 

a bag of candy, a plate of cookies, or anything else that you come up with!

Maybe you could leave it with some change by a pay phone or some candy on someone's car windshield. It could be something for a stranger or your best friend, a neighbor or a relative!

So many possibilities! 

And remember to keep joining us in our 2 weeks of Acts of Love 

to help serve and love those around you!

Acts of Love: Heart Attack!!!

Do you have a friend, family member, or neighbor that could use a heart attack?

Now, not a REAL heart attack of course....

But a fun one for Valentine's Day!

Check out these ideas from our Winter 2014 Issue and make someone's day AWESOME!

And keep joining us in our 2 weeks of Acts of Love to help serve and love those around you!

Acts of Love

It's February which = Valentine's Day right?

But that doesn't mean it has to be all romance and roses!

Over the next two weeks we want to share some fun ways that you can show love to those around you, with no silly boys included!

So jump in and join us in giving Acts of Love to friends, family, neighbors, and more!

And if you have any ideas, PLEASE share! We'd love to hear them!
