A Blushing Heart

This is what I did with our “not-so-snowy” snow day yesterday.

(Yeah, um, Mom and Aunt K, you can stop laughing now.)

I picked up a Moda charm pack of Basic Grey’s Blush on a whim Tuesday.

I used this link and a whole lot of graph paper to make my plan. 

I have the step-by-step pictures and instructions, if you are interested!

Hand-crafted Valentines

We skipped the whole-boxed Valentine's cards thing this year. Instead:



The Big Girl made these butterflies from a kit she received during this swap. We taped on a pencil and addressed them on the back.

Aren't they cute?

For the Little Man's class, I felt compelled to sew. What was I thinking? Who knows. I made penny pockets for his 12 friends.

These confections were for the teachers and support staffs at the kids' schools. The insides of these candies are "cake balls". Basically, you bake a cake, crumble it up, stir in a can of frosting and scoop the mixture into balls. It's really, really yummy!

Happy Valentine's Day!
