Peanuts Valentine’s Day

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I can’t think of any better way to celebrate than with Peanuts—where Sally loves Linus, Charlie Brown loves his Little Red-Haired Girl, and everyone loves Snoopy! So I’ve got a great Peanuts Valentine’s Day giveaway for you. You don’t know this, but my bedroom growing up had a pink and white gingham Snoopy daybed set, and a Snoopy “husband” pillow I used until it literally disintegrated.  It was the best bedding EVER and Snoopy has always had such a special place in my heart!

Doggone Adorable: Snoopy and his fashionista sister Belle joined Francesca and Skai Jackson from Disney’s “Jessie” for a shot in front of the new Peanuts Movie poster displayed at the party.

Last Saturday, adorable 10-year-old actress Francesca Capaldi—who stars as Charlie Brown’s beloved Little Red-Haired Girl in The Peanuts Movie, the 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios’ Peanuts 3D feature film debuting worldwide on Nov. 6—hosted a Peanuts-themed Valentine’s Day party with Snoopy and his sister Belle at the Park Hyatt in Carlsbad, California.

The Belle of the Valentine’s Ball: Francesca dressed for the occasion in a brand-new dress from the Snoopy and Belle collection at Target.

Francesca, one of the stars of Disney’s Dog with a Blog, and her friends enjoyed Valentine’s Day card-decorating, delicious cakes and cupcakes, and of course a showing of the classic TV special, Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.

Her Valentine’s Cards Are on the Table: Francesca puts her heart into her Peanuts Galerie Valentine’s cards, which are included in my giveaway along with extra foam hearts and jewels to enhance your card.

Now you can re-create the party with your own kids thanks to this fabulous Peanuts Party in a Box. Here’s what’s inside:

o Valentine cake and cupcake decorations from DecoPac

o Peanuts Valentines and additional blank cards, foamies and jewels to use to create custom Valentines of your own

Just leave a comment on this post, and I’ll pick one lucky winner at random. Good luck—and lots of love!  This giveaway ends at midnight, EST on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 (which happens to be my dad’s birthday, too)

Meanwhile, prepare yourself to fall in love with Peanuts all over again as we await The Peanuts Movie. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the cherished “Peanuts” gang make their long-awaited big-screen debut in stunning state-of-the-art 3D animation from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios.

Snoopy, the world’s most lovable beagle – and flying ace – embarks upon his greatest mission as he takes to the skies to pursue his arch-nemesis The Red Baron, while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest. From the imagination of Charles M. Schulz and the creators of the ICE AGE films, THE PEANUTS MOVIE will prove that every underdog has his day.
