Aaron got me the most amazing balloon ever for Valentine's Day. It's a singing balloon! And it looks a little like him too.

I made Candy Bar Cozies for my friends for Valentine's Day.

They were pretty quick to make, they are felt envelopes with hearts and buttons.

I like mixing and matching the colors of felt and buttons.

Each cozy has a yummy bar of dark chocolate tucked away inside.

You can see more pictures of this project and how I made them on my Project Gallery.

I am really excited about this project I created for work. It's a picture frame made from an empty Valentine's Day candy box.

Now you can reuse your heart shaped candy boxes instead of throwing them out. Reduce, reuse and recycle!

It's just the top and bottom of the box glued together with an easel cut in the back for it to sit up on.

Here is a close up shot of the back easel configuration.

You can see more pictures and detailed instructions here. (note: I have added the extra support arm you see above since I wrote up those instructions)

I blogged about it on 1000 Words too.

I ate a lot of chocolate while making these frames by the way.

I am so lucky that I get to do stuff I enjoy at work. I just designed these Valentine's Day Candy Bar Wrappers for the project center.

Aaron had no idea he was going to be the cover boy for all the candy wrappers.

There are three different wrappers that you can download. They all have funny little sayings on them.

You can either open the pdf's up in a photo editing tool and add your pictures or print them out as is and cut out the hearts and place your picture behind the cutout.

Go here to download the wrappers and see more detailed instructions.

There were some amazing Martha products at Michaels for Halloween and Christmas, so I was looking forward to seeing what they had for Valentines Day.

Not a whole lot is the answer. Usually there is an entire freestanding display of holiday craft goodness, but this holiday only got an endcap.

I am hoping it's just because they are busily working away on Easter stuff!
