Late Night Indulgence
YUMMY!!!
I had to share!! Today my husband made these delicious red velvet cupcakes with chocolate frosting and little heart sprinkles for me and our son for Valentine’s Day. These are the most moist cupcakes I think I have ever eaten. He made these early this morning and it is now nearly 24 hours later and they are still so moist and yummy. Are you like me sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night looking for something to snack on. What leftover Valentine’s day treats are you eating? Well Like I said I just wanted to share because they looked so cute and they just tasted so wonderful. Just if you are wondering this was made with the Betty Crocker red velvet cake mix and chocolate frosting is also Betty Crocker and just added and extra teaspoon of oil.
Well have a good night and remember to check in this week for a major announcement. I am really excited about this and its just the begining of great things to come.
Pom-Pom Tree for Valentine’s Day
Tree of Love
Fun Valentine’s Project for you and the kids
Week 4 of the 5 Weeks of Love Challenge
I saw an idea like this as I was searching for a something else and can not find where I saved the website name. So if by chance anyone knows who just recently did a tutorial for something like this let me know and I will be sure to put their name on here as an inspiration to how this project came to light. This was a lot of fun to work on with my little one. We played a counting game while we were holding the pom- poms on to set.
I wasn’t really sure how this was going to turn out but I wanted to give it a try anyway. I added the feathers for some extra flair and texture.
Honestly I think the hardest part was getting the support at the bottom just right to support the top.
The materials I used were
- Pom-Poms
- Chinelle Fuzzy Sticks
- Glue
- Feathers
These look really cute in the window cill or the table as Valentine’s Day Decorations. I made a purple one for myself. I thought it was one of those things that would look nice on a shelf in my crafting area.
Happy February!!!
The 5 weeks of Love Challenge.
The 5 Weeks of Love Challenge.
With a fresh new start to the year, I would like to challenge myself. Since our next big unofficial holiday is in about 5 weeks, Yes I mean Valentine’s Day. Every week for the next 5 weeks I will make and then post a Valentine’s Day Project so that you can get some ideas on what to make for a loved ones for this unofficial holiday.
Nothing says LOVE like something from the heart.
For a wife and mom on a budget I have to get pretty creative sometimes with gift ideas. With all the new supplies I received during Christmas from my loved ones I should be able to use most of it and not have to spend hardly any money at all.
I would also like to set up a Featured Friday during this Challenge. We will choose one person every week to feature your homemade Valentine’s Day projects. If you are interested in having your project featured on here please email me at smalltowndreamz@gmail.com. I will post your project on friday with links to your own blog.
Check back soon to see what we come up with for week 1 of the 5 weeks of Love Challenge.
Happy Crafting!
