This year I'm making
most of my gifts by hand so Valentine's Day was a perfect way to get started. As I've already shared, I made Valentine
themed gift tags and I dug those out of my stationery box. I also made my own Valentines to send in the
mail.
I made English
toffee and once it had set up I broke it into pieces.
Then I made my famous sugar cookies, iced
them with a little vanilla glaze and decorated with homemade red sugar sprinkles. Colored sugar sprinkles are really easy to
make.
You just mix a little food coloring
with granulated sugar, allow it to dry and then mix it all up again. Easy and thrifty.
I put the toffee
into Valentine treat bags I had bought at the dollar store last year.
I did the same with the cookies.
Then I tied them off
with the gift tags I'd made. The baker's
twine on the tags was perfect too.
Plenty of delicious
treats to share with my loved ones.
I also made a plate
of cookies to share with my co-workers (yes,
even the big meanie, she needs kindness more than anything).
How did you share
the love this Valentine's Day?
Oh my goodness everything looks so cute! I love everything here. And I didn't even know it was possible to make your own colored sugar sprinkles, I thought the granules would just dissolve!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family have a wonderful Valentines Day!
D.
Thank you! Yes indeed, you can make your very own sprinkles. :)
DeleteYour treats look wonderful. I wish I had wandered by Boise to try the toffee and cookies!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome anytime! :)
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day... it looks like everyone in your life was treated well!
ReplyDeleteI heard no complaints!! LOL
DeleteSo pretty and looks so yummy.. Happy Valentines day to you and your girls.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy! Same to you. :)
DeleteEverything looks so good and pretty! Your loved ones and co-workers (even the big meanie) are so blessed to have you in their lives.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to say. The big meanie refused to participate and everyone told her she was really missing out. I think my grandma called that cutting off your nose in spite of your face. Pretty sad really. Oh well, more for us. :)
DeleteYes, that would be what your grandma would say about the meanie. Everything is soooo pretty, and it looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
