Would You Be My Valentine?

Here are some of my Valentine Projects that have kept me busy and crafting...two good things. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!


These are the Valentine suckers that we made for Kaden's class and my Primary kids. My Activity Day Girls made them at our activity last week too.

The girls also got to decorate cakes with as much sprinkles as they could possibly get on there. Thanks for the idea Mary.

I was in charge of decorating for a Visiting Teaching Conference this week with a Valentine's theme. So this is how it ended up.

Thanks to my mom and Aunt Beckie's supplies, it looked really cute.

Favors that I made. These are really easy and their is a tutorial on my favorite stamping site, SplitcoastStampers.com, which shows you how to make it. They are stuffed with Hershey kisses. These are what I made last year for Kaden's class Valentines. Very fun. Click here to find out how to make them.

I'd like to pretend that I made the cakes, but I'd be lying. Lawanda Hatch did. They were amazing.
Last night we had a Dessert Auction/Bingo Night at the school and so this is what I came up with for my donation. They are simple and fun. Peanut Butter Rice Crispies with a Dove chocolate on top. Shaped by a cookie cutter. Wrapped and skewered in a vase filled with Hershey Kisses. I also attached the easy red Valentine blogged about earlier.

Peanut Butter Rice Crispies (A Walker Family Favorite)
1 cup Karo corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Rice Crispies
Boil syrup and sugar for 1 minute to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Pour over Rice Crispies in a large bowl. Mix. Spread in a 9 x 13 inch pan. Let cool. You can also top with 6 ounces of melted chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Or drizzle with melted white chocolate chips. Plain is my favorite though.

Now what to do for my very own Valentine.....
