Last night I stayed up late (I am not sure why I can't seem to get these kinds of things done during the day), making Valentine treat holders to send my older daughter who is serving a church mission and sugar cookies for my girls for Valentine's.
I grew up having my mom make a giant sugar cookies for my brothers and me with our name on them the night before Valentine's so we woke up in the morning with them on the table.
I liked this tradition and did it with my girls. Last night at dinner I told the 3 girls at home that I would have to make the cookies tonight because the next couple days and nights are so busy. I found out that Tysha thought there was a sugar cookies bunny or Santa Claus who magically make these cookies and left them each year. Here I thought my sugar cookies were letting my girls know how much I love them and instead they thought they just magically appeared at Valentine's Morning.
These boxes are the sweetheart candies covered in card stock and decorated. I used Stampin' Up!'s new papers from the Occasions Mini catalog called Sending Love Specialty #117153. This paper has glittered accents, that don't rub off. The ribbon is the new colors of 5/8" satin ribbons.
I also created the little box from yesterday's blog in the brown colors and filled it with hearts. I hope my girls now realize that these treats are their mom telling them she loves them.
