Love Day!

With it being Valentine's Day I figure this would be a prefect time to acknowledge my 

"Better half"  or as he like to go by ....... 

Ryan. 

 

A little bit of love

I will start off by saying anyone who knows me well enough will know that I am the last person in the world that would do nor be interested in doing any thing that was in the least bit "Crafty".  

My theory is if you can buy it in a store; spend the money and get it.  

Well, this weekend to the shock of a few (including myself) I decided to make chocolates for 

Dakota (6) to give to his class for Valentines day. 

I enjoyed a great visit with a girlfriend as we proceeded to make about 50 of these little beauties:

We hit up the local Michael's and raided the Wilton brand supplies

 We started off with melting the chocolates, 

pouring them into a squeeze bottles and 

keep them from getting hard by keeping them in some warm water.

 

 Then using a mold we mixed and matched the different colors of chocolate, 

after filling the mold the sticks were added and then we 

left them for 5 mins in a cool place for them to harden.

 

After being removed from the mold they were placed in decorative bags with tags.

To most people they don't look like much and most of them look like Dakota made them but I was pretty impressed with myself for sticking with it.

On a side note:

I think I will be including some photos that I take at the end of each post: 

"The MEOW MEOW'S"

(Dakota was not interested in having the camera in his face this weekend)
