Too Cute to Eat

Cutestfood.com does have the cutest food! So many clever ideas with food to make presentation extra special. I came across one of my favorite animated movies, My Neighbor Totoro, in cream puff and cake pop forms.

Thoughts of Spring

Discovered these beautiful zinnias on Pinterest. They are "Queen Red Lime" zinnias.

Love this color combination!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

At the last minute, on my way to dash out to Alfredo's school Valentine party, I got the idea to make a Valentine gift for his teachers...cherry soda (not wine even though it's called Cheerwine...read about it here) with a label that says "You're a pop star in my world".

I used a doodled frame from my friend Pam's Summer Doodle Bundle (found here).

Pam's actually teaching a doodle class this Spring at Handmade U. And it looks from Pam's latest blog post that she is making a special doodle from each student's name! Looks like so much fun!

Hope you have a very sweet Valentine's day! It's an extra special day for us because 16 years ago, Rich asked me to marry him!

A Love Song

Happy Valentine's Day

Sea of Love

Today is Cole's classroom Valentine's Day party. One of the activities the students will be doing is a decorated Valentine's Day box contest. There are five categories: Most Sporty, Most Girly, Best Science/Nature, Best Celebrity/Movie, and Most Candylicious. Being that Cole is a lover of all marine creatures, he wanted to do the science category. What's extra special about this box is that the real seashells were collected on the beaches of Hawaii by my paternal grandmother. She did shell art and I have her beautiful collection of shells. Good luck Cole!

love bugs

I'm pretty excited to be a bit ahead of the game with Alfredo's Valentines.

I can't take even an ounce of credit for this idea...I found it on Pinterest this morning and knew immediately it was the best idea for Alfredo. It was so easy since dandee even provided a printable on her blog. The bugs are from those Toobs...I picked up two of them at Michael's and we have some bugs to spare!

The cockroaches are so icky...

I'm not sure if we can bring ourselves to use them on a Valentine!
