♥♥ More Valentines Day stuff! ♥♥

We've got ♥♥ HEARTS ♥♥ all over the place

during the month of February!

Pancakes for the Princess...

I tried making heart shaped bread with my Pampered Chef loaf pan.

The results were less than stellar & not photo worthy

...tasted good, though!

I made an 1950's Jell-O molded salad

recipe with pineapple & cream cheese.

I found it on Pattycakes in the Kitchen &

it was everything I remembered.

Delish!

Have you tried these ♥ shaped marshmallows?

Such fun!

Had to put them in a pretty little jar, too!

I thought these pretty PINK Jordan candies

(JoAnn's wedding supply section)

would fit into the scheme of things.

This would also be great for October &

Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I filled another jar with more of the darling cupcake liners.

Such a festive & inexpensive decorating idea!

I saw Martha Stewart use her shredder to make

mounds of crinkled stuffing out of used

tissue paper.

I could just cry when I think of all the pretty wrinkled tissue papers
I've thrown away over the years.
Why didn't I ever think of this??

I shredded some to go beneath my stash

of Chocolate ♥♥♥'s.

I saw on Pinterest where someone had sewn

paper doily hearts together with a wee bit

of candy tucked inside.

So I had to make some for the Princess...

she was royally pleased & shared them with her little girlfriends.

I added a butterfly to my metal card holder.
It was attached to one of my
birthday cards.
"Motherrrr, you never throw anything away!"

I made the grandkids a batch of Rice Krispie Treats

Jazzed them up a bit by spreading melted

chocolate chips along one side &

♥ shaped sprinkles for effect.

I worked on perfecting my cake decorating skills

on some cupcakes.

The ones that had a mounded top to them,

I just sliced it off, cut out a ♥ shaped &

put LOTS of icing on before resetting the cut out top.

(saw that idea on Pinterest, too)

I filled the liners 1/3 full with white cake batter,

then used paste coloring to tint the rest of the batter PINK!

I love seeing that marbled effect!!

End result looked like this!

I had to set them outside in the snow to get a decent picture,

it has been so dark & gloomy around here.

We've got ♥♥ hearts ♥♥ EVERYWHERE!!

(another idea from Pinterest...using pedicure foams to keep bobbins under control)
