Suckers & Hearts
If you’re new around here, let me fill you in on a little bit of information! I taught 1st grade last year at a very tiny school. Unfortunately, I was let go at the end of last school year. It was tough & frustrating but there’s a reason for everything, right?
Anyways, I’m not here to share all the ooey-gooey details of that saga. Instead I want to show you the little gift I gave my firsties for Valentine’s Day!!
It’s pretty simple.
You need: Construction paper, lollipops, staples, glue, & computer/printer.
Print out your saying & your name
Cut out hearts in 3 different colors.
Overlap them & staple together.
Punch a hole right in the center.
Glue your saying & name.
Stick the lollipop through the hole.
Easy, peasy, lemon-squeezy!
{Note-these were made last year prior to my real crafting-aha moment & pre-cricut days, so they do look a little rough. Of course, they are for 6 yr olds, so they don’t need to be perfect. Or even pretty, They really only care about the sucker.}
Have any amazingly simple Valentine’s Gifts that you can give kiddos?

Recipe: Kiss Pies
In keeping with the Find Some Love Fest party happening right now, I thought I’d share this pretty easy recipe with you.
Me & the littlest little had fun playing with the pie crust & eating more kisses than we should have!
Ingredients:
2 refrigerated pie crusts
flour
a bag of your favorite Hershey Kisses (I used mint & regular)
Saran Wrap
Sugar
Powdered Sugar
Unwrap your kisses.
The little ones will love this part!
Unroll your pie crust onto a piece of saran wrap. (this helps it not stick)
Keep unrolling!
Place the kisses around the outside of the pie crust.
Cut a circle around the kisses. The circle does not have to be perfect. And you don’t have to use a fancy cookie cutter, I ended up using a knife on the second batch because I could make the circle a little smaller.
Continue until all the pie crust is used up. You can re-roll it too!
Fold 1/2 of dough over kiss. Then squish in the sides.
Bring the center to some sort of point. Pinch all the seams together.
Brush a little egg wash on the top & then sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 350 for about 20-28 minutes. They are done when the outsides are golden brown.
Remove & cool for 5 minutes before transferring from the pan.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar & enjoy!
How’s that for a fun little Valentine’s dessert? Do you have any Valentine’s Day recipes?

And because I kind of have a thing for signs/bunting type things, here is a little one I put together.
Of course I used my Cricut to cut everything out! And here’s the best part, this project was completely 100% FREE!! Don’t ya love crafts like that?
I used twine that I already had, scrapbook paper that I already had, and then I was the sneaky chick at Wal-Mart pretending to pick out a paint color but really I was taking a massive amount of paint sample cards!
Then I used my little shape cutter to cut out hearts. Cut out the phrase I Love You. Then you just tie them on the twine.
That simple. & that easy.
I can’t wait to hang this on our mirror so when the hubs wakes up Feb. 14th he’ll be all “awww your such an amazing wife!”
