Conservation Heart Cookies



I think these came out cute. They are sugar cookies, iced with a royal icing. I then rolled some fondant and cut out the letters with cookie cutters made by Wilton.
Hope you like the idea~

Valentine's Candy Jars

made these last year for friends at work....found them on several blogs, so I don't know who to give credit for the idea.
Anyways~ you'll need tiny clay pots and saucers, a glass fish bowl type vase and some wooden knobs. Paint the pots any color you choose. I picked black sequin by Anita's. I then put dots on some of them in white. The other two I just painted the edges of the pots and didn't make dots. Glue the knob on top (or really the bottom) of the saucer with E6000 and paint it when it's set. Glue the glass bowl to the bottom of the clay pot. The saucer becomes the lid. I cut out the word "Candy" in vinyl on my cricut machine and placed it on the glass. Fill with some shredded paper and candy, wrap a cute ribbon around it and you have a darling little gift.

Groundhog Day craft

This is a cute, easy craft for kids....


You will need one large heart in a brown, 3 small ones~one in the same brown paper, one in white and one in black. A pair of wiggle eyes and some strips of paper in white or cream. Cut the small brown heart in half for the ears. The placement is pretty easy to understand from the picture. If you don't have any wiggle eyes you could just cut some white circles and some smaller black ones.

found on Lucky Me

Groundhog Day Cupcakes....

Aren't these cute? Found these over at Sweets and S'mores Cakery.
Looks like they would be easy to re-create with little candy hearts for the teeth.
And candy eyes,a chocolate chip for his nose, a little bit of piping with a pasty bag for the cheeks and some chocolate sprinkles for his head....love em!
