V-Day gifts for Fam & Friends

For work this year I wanted to hand out something for Valentine's that wasn't too time consuming or expensive as we're going bowling later in the month. I the pattern for these flower cut-outs on another blog (the U-Create blog listed in my favorites) and thought they would be perfect. I went to Michael's (yes, I know, I live there) and thought it would be cute to put the flowers in a pot, fill with red-hots, some twinkles, and voila, a pretty dang cute hand-out. We also went up Thursday night and heart-attached everyone's office. Ahhh, I love my job!


Of course, since I was doing some of these for the office, I thought, why not make some for family, on a bigger scale? So,


I just painted the pots, added some ribbon, threw in the suckers and red-hots, made some cards to go in the back (didn't take a pic, sorry) and then made some rice-crispy treats in the shape of hearts, put them on a stick, decorated them (found that idea on No Fuss Fabulous, also in my favorites) and wrapped them up. It was actually pretty easy, just kind of time consuming. Sorry out of state fam....I was going to send you a treat, but these would have been pretty much impossible to ship! Maybe for St. Patty's Day!

All in all, a pretty crazy but fun past two weeks. Now I need to figure out what do for St. Patty's Day - oops, no, I've got it! Just got the greatest idea! Light bulb! Hmmm, now for primary.....
