Valentine's Day Gifts

Oh how I heart V-Day!!

Here is the card I made my Husband this year.

"Partner hand over your heart! This is a stick up!"

Love cards that come with a little treat.

And a small gift I made him.

"Light of my life"

I totally saw this one on Pinterest and just had to make it. It was super easy and so much fun breaking in insides out!! Again, Love it!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Not So Awesome Surprise Cake

Even though I'm not so happy with the way my Valentine's Day heart surprise cake turned out I still thought I would share it.

I knew as soon as all my white cake was done baking that I used a pan that was way to big. It didn't give me the height I needed to carve out the heart without breaking threw the top and bottom of the cake. But I still tried.  

Just looks like a regular cake right?

But when you cut into it....

Theres a heart surprise!!!!

I so wanted this to turn out perfect. A perfect cake with a perfect heart with perfect frosting. Oh well, this was a very good learning experience (and it was still really yummy!!!!) I can't wait to try it again next year.

Valentine's Day Headbands

I always think that Valentine's Day stuff is so cute and girly.  Everything is red & pink and covered in hearts & flowers. I found these super cute hair clips and wanted to buy them but decided at the last minute I would make something to wear.

And these are what I came up with. Cute huh! Can't wait to wear one!!

Melted Crayon Hearts

I wanted to do a Valentine's day craft yesterday that was completely free. So I broke out my craft box and decide to melt some coloring crayons for a Valentine's Day mobile.  

Start with a sheet of waxed paper. Spread out some wax-crayon shavings (made with a handheld pencil sharpener) Cover with clean piece of wax paper. Crimp edges with a 1/2-inch fold to hold the shavings. Protect your ironing surface with craft paper, or a old shirt you don't care about. Place the waxed paper on iron surface, and cover it with another shirt. Iron lightly on medium heat, checking after every few passes. Stop when all the shavings have melted; let cool. Next, trace and cut out hearts of various sizes. Then string up on your mobile. 

I Love the way it looks in the window. That way the sun can shine thur.
