I’m going to ask you to do something: Please click on your refresh button. We made some changes to the website, namely the red background. If you’re not seeing red, you need to refresh. See it now?
{ why the red? }
Today we are exactly one month away from Valentines Day. So I thought it’d be fun to splash the color of love on the website to give us all that constant reminder of … well, LOVE. (This is not a permanent change.)
{ love }
Love isn’t just about being in a relationship. It’s not just about having a boyfriend or girlfriend or even being married (although that’s certainly significant and wonderful. In fact, marriage, as we know, often leads to children and I believe FAMILY is most definitely central in God’s Plan of Happiness.)
Love is about even more than that though. Love is what can heal. Love is what can lift another. Through love, burdens are lifted, hearts are mended, and a crummy day becomes blessed. And it doesn’t always mean a close friend or family member. Sometimes it’s a stranger. And you know what? They need love too. Do you realize that even a simple smile can change someone’s entire day?
{ love is a verb }
That’s what they say, right? Well because it’s true. A relationship takes effort. You don’t see a friendship blossom on accident. You don’t see a marriage make it through hard times because husband & wife are waiting for the other to make the first move.
This is a small invitation to each of us to be more proactive in being loving human beings. More patient in our driving. More willing to volunteer our time in service. More likely to following that prompting to phone a friend or write a note of kindness or stop everything you’re doing to read with your child. More effort in changing the subject when gossip flares up. More likely to express gratitude. Being quick to forgive. And more smiling. Definitely more smiling.
{ a visual reminder }
As a small token of my gratitude for you, dear reader, I’m sharing a couple “Love One Another” prints to use however you’d like. Let this visual be a daily reminder of what I hope we can all focus on this month … and always.
Head over to the Free Stuff page to snag your free print(s).
PS – Want a more tangible way to share love this Valentines season? If you missed it last February, this Post-it Love idea might get the wheels a-turnin’. (Unfortunately all the reader comments were erased in last year’s blog server transfer.)

Thank you so much! I {LOVE} this post
I love the new red blog! It brightens up the dreary days of winter to see a nice bright color! I love your Love one another print. What a great reminder! Thanks Becky. Have a wonderful weekend!
Love this post!!!!! Where do you find your picture frame holders?? I love them and can’t find them anywhere.
Lovely….
thank you!!
ooohhh I need to know where you found those candles
So very generous and sweet of you, Becky… Thank you.
Just this week I finally printed and framed one of the home quotes from your free stuff section. I love it! I’ll try to share a pic soon…
All the best to you -
First, I love the new RED background…it is my fave color afterall
And I love the free downloadable quotes…this one especially…
You Rock!!
What a beautiful post! I was just thinking about this same thing. My new motto in 2011 is to give LOVE, give HOPE, give JOY and make MEMORIES! And I’ve been looking for some “love” decor for my home
Happy day to you!
Thank you! These are absolutely adorable and such a great reminder to have at home! (There are definitely days I need to be reminded to “love one another” ….esp when the kids have had 4 or 5 days off in a row due to snow!)
Becky you have hit the nail on the head again. Today in Brisbane Qld Aust we have seen the Love in so many ways. After our city and 75% of state have been completly awash in flood waters, where some people have not only lost everything they own but their loved ones too, We have seen complete strangers sharing the love and compassion of life for each other reaching out and starting the very long clean up ahead of us all.
As my husband has been knee deep in mud cleaning out a friends house, I have been cooking up a storm of Muffins to feed those out there working through it all there has just be sight after sight of compassion and love shared within our community which really has touched my heart and I know many hearts of those so greatly affected by this disaster.
I thank God for the Love of community for strangers and friends alike.
THANK YOU!! This was exactly what I needed this morning.
And the prints are darling – I can’t wait to put them up in my home!
wonderful, THANKS
red’s not the only web change…. l o v e the touches of pink and the little heart to (cultivate).
Thanks for your continued generousity! you are a treasure!
I love the red…..great idea to mix it up and pop the color every so often. For those of us who come here everyday ..thanks for the eye candy.
Love the red, wakes me up.. and I am truly jealous of the pretty things you have in your house.. my little one is just about the same age as Crew, but seems to be all fingers and just TOUCHES it all.. breaking more than she should.. Maybe I could TRY it and put up some pretty things..
but before Valentine’s Day, is Groundhog Day.. please don’t pass him by in your celebrations..
Thank you so much Becky, the prints are adorable. I might just print one out and put it in my PL this week!
Great post! Thank you for the downloads (and that they’re in different sizes)!
Thank you for the free prints. They are a great way to start the valentines holiday! Love the new red addition to you blog.
I know this is totally off topic…do you know when the new PL kits will be back in stock at Amazon???
Thank you so much for the free downloads! They are adorable. I was so inspired, I printed & framed one right away.
Please can someone contact me as to when I can receive replacements for the Project life kit??? I can not seem to leave a comment on the customer service site… I keep getting a error saying I did not list my e-mail address. Is any one else having a problem???? I did fill out a form for defective items several days ago.
I love it!
Aimee in Or.
Thank you again. I put up some heart garlands last night. Love you post. It’s a great reminder for all of us to demonstrate love in this world and spread a little happiness.
Thanks, Becky! I love these
{LOVE} this post!
Trying for a third time, my comments don’t want to appear…but, I just want to say thank you for these! I printed two, one for our living room and one for our girls bedroom. I uploaded pics to my blog. They are adorable. Thanks again.
My little word for Ali is “committ” “ed.” I am committed to more patience. and a lot more. Thanks for all the great reminders.
Thank you for the inspiring thoughts on love – so appreciated today!
Can you share where the awesome red background is from – is it a digital paper that might be available? I’d love to use it for a project. Thank you Becky!
Off to print the beautiful new quotes
Tupperwear / plastic container organization…..would love to see how you do it.
I LOVE these and all of your other free downloads. Thank you! Hugs!
Thanks for everything, Becky….but especially for the words of wisdom. I really needed to be reminded!!!

cheers for the reminder to LOVE !
julie
oh funny – as soon as i hit submit comment the page turned to red – its FAB!
what a lovely post! Thanks!
Nice to see the red!
Read you FB post about the dog picture. My 1st grade daughter has been asking for a dog for awhile now. Long story short, just can’t do it right now so I finally told her we would never have a dog since she kept asking. Since she loves dogs and we don’t have one the two of us volunteered at a local pet store for about 2 hours one night. We got to play with the puppies for 20 minutes each, one kennel at a time, usually 2 dogs in each kennel. She loved it and immediately asked to do it again. However, she did have a rough couple next days because she said she was jealous that her friends have pets, mostly cats, and she only has fish. Had a heart to heart about why I did the volunteering with her, etc and she was better after that. Seriously, the words im’ jealous had never come out of her mouth until then….first grade. I thought I would cave and get one or at least start thinking about it more seriously, but other than my personal reasons still standing there was at least 1 dog from each kennel that ‘voided” while we played with them, on the floor of course, and I had the job of cleaning it up. Yep, won’t be caving anytime soon….Just thought I would mention in case you had a local store, society that allowed volunteers if you were interested.

Love the red! Thanks for the prints – they’re wonderful.
Thanks so much for the prints! Love, love, love them!!!!
I love these prints and love that you are so generous and sharing them! Can anyone tell me how to rotate the prints to be vertical??
Thank you Becky. So lovely and so generous.
Your email contact form is not working! No matter what you enter for your email field the form refuses to accept the email field as being filled and will not send! So I am leaving my comment here, please contact me by email immediatly it has been over a week with no responce to my report of my project life kit which i receaved broken. This is rediculous that you cannot even acknowlege reciept of complaints with the kits. No one knows what to expect if you will fix them when you will send a replacement or even an email!!! At this point your product is Woefully below standard, as is your customer service. I hate posting this publicly but again YOU HAVE LEFT NO WAY TO CONTACT YOU! Buyers beware!
You are absolutely right. We have encountered some technical issues with our web forms this week. I assure you we are working very hard to resolve the issue. I would love to contact you directly but you didn’t leave a name or email address.
For anyone who might have found themselves in a similar situation where you have a customer service need, please hang tight and we will be in touch with everyone this weekend or Monday at the latest.
LOVE the RED! Thanks for the freebie.
Thank you for the great prints! I love the red background!
LOVE the red ! Ordered both prints! Thank you!
Thank you so much Becky for the inspiration! I love this idea. I am going to frame one and use one in my project life as well!!
Thank you!
This is WAY off topic, but could you please tell me where I can get my hands on that fabulous turquoise tile on your kitchen walls?? I have just incorporated turquoise into our home and I am seriously drooling over your kitchen!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. This is my daughter’s favorite church song. I love to hear her sing it:o) It’s amazing how “thirsty” the blog world is for more spiritually minded crafts. I recently posted a free printable of the Fruits of the Spirit on my blog and had the most hits I have ever had in a single day. God is good in so many ways, and may He continue to you bless you!
Thank you so much! I love both of them and will be using the 2nd one in my valentines collage photo frame!

love, love, love!
Thank you for the freebie print-out! I did print out the “cursive” love one another and have it in a black frame — perfect for my Valentine decorations and just maybe everyday decorations!
Thank you for the valentines day prints!
So happy I discovered your blog (through an online friend!). Thanks so much for the print! I also downloaded your Christmas one. Love President Monson quote, I will frame it and use it next Christmas.
