It was an entertaining and fun, but long, exhausting weekend with the granddaughters –aka- The Baby Divas. (Sigh!) They grow so quickly, but sometimes not quick enough - surely my daughter will agree that she too, looks forward to the day both girls are potty trained! Anyway, I was actually able to find “me” time, and work on my craft projects. Here’s a little candy box I made to present hand dipped chocolates - I think the chocolates were more work than the candy box, but so worth it! What a yummy way to present Valentine sweet treats!

The Christmas holidays have passed, and here we are at the dawn of a New Year... with Valentine's Day just around the bend! When I was a little girl, I just loved the whole Valentine’s Day buzz…. The fun reds, pinks (my favorite color!) whites, cupid, hearts and lace. One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day was creating homemade Valentines cards for my friends and family. And of course, the sweets! Like most children, I had a sweet tooth. Well, I’m a big girl now, and I still have a sweet tooth! So with that, here is my first project I am sharing with you - What nicer way to present a yummy sweet treat to your Valentine, than this cute cupcake box?! Thank you for checking out my new blog, and I hope you will continue to join me on this adventurous, creative journey! Creative Ingredients: Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Holiday Best Paper: Stampin’ Up!
