Valentine Mix

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

 

 

Found this recipe at Betty Crocker  OMG!  It was sooo easy and tastes sooo good!

 

Took all of 15 minutes and cooling time to put together.

 

This is what I used because I had it on hand.

    

9 cups Rice Chex® cereal (gluten free)

1 cup white vanilla baking chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup of m&m's

pink sugar crystals

 

 

Followed the directions from here.  Once the mix cooled I bottled and detailed.  Thanks to The Idea Room for the printable.

Bursting Felt Heart

Here's a cute project that I got to work on with my 9 year old daughter.  It was nice being able to see her take an interest in crafts.  Duplicated from here.  I'm telling you those girls are awesome.

 

1.  I cut  hearts out of red and pink felt pieces.  You can get these in single sheets at most craft stores for less than $.40 each.  I got 5 to 6 hearts out of each sheet.

 

2.  I put 1 pink and 1 red hearts together and punched holes around the edge of the heart.  Be carfeul not to get to close too the edge.  This helped my daughter stitch the twine around the edge of the heart.  She made sure to leave a big enough hole to pour the m&m's inside.





3.  Pour m&m's in the heart.  Finish stitiching the heart closed.  She just tied it off with a bow.

 

 

 

She made these for her cousins and we got them mailed off.  She is so excited.  She is making sure that they knew she made it and that it is from her.  

 



Heart Felt Trees

Hi!

If you follow Maka'z Home on Facebook then you have seen these cute trees that I duplicated from those crafty girls over at Lollyjane.  See their trees that I duplicated here.

I had a few scrap pieces left over from this valentine project idea I got from those creative ladies over at lollyjane.  Something my daughter and I got to work on together.

   See the shiny hearts I used to top the tree, those were thanks to +Lolly Jane . Thanks chika!

So took the leftover scraps and cut hearts out of red felt and pink felt.  I made the hearts all different sizes.  Looking back now, probably look a little better more uniformed.  Ups to you.  Had 2 styrofoam cones from the dollar store as well as the candle stick bases from the dollar store.  Used sewing needles to poke the upsode down hearts into the styrofoam.  It helps to leave the packaging on the cone incase you need to hot glue some hearts into place.

Taa daaaahhh!  Took less than an hour to put together once the hearts where all cut out.  Less than $3 dollars to make each tree.  S C O R E !!
