Valentine's Topiary


Happy Wednesday.  Today I am sharing this cute Topiary that my sister made. She picked up this foam topiary base, 1 yard of red felt, and pins from hobby lobby.
  


1. Cut A LOT of 3 inch circles. 


2. Fold the circle in half




                                                            3. Fold the circle in half again.

         
             Place a pin on the folded bottom half of the circle. Stick the pin into the foam wherever you like.  Keep repeating until the foam is completely covered with the felt flowers.  The topiary fit perfectly into a bowl my sister had.  She put some green moss on top for a finishing touch.




Super easy and a great decoration for Valentine's Day
Enjoy!

Valentine's Sugar Cookies


My family loves to make these sugar cookies for almost every holiday.  It is the BEST recipe and they are so fun to decorate.  They are so easy even our kids can make beautiful cookies.  You can find the recipe for the cookies and icing HERE.

Step 1.  Use a pastry bag and icing tip to outline the cookie.  I like to use a size 4 tip. 

  

     Step 2. "Water down" the icing and use a bottle with a long tip to fill in the rest of the cookie.


We will usually outline the cookies for our little ones and let them fill in the cookies. 








These cookies are so easy, and time consuming, but totally worth it.

a day for love

happy valentines day!! :) the holidays are my favorite. and no matter what i promise to ry how i wont spend way too much money and time on presents for the kids- i somehow always break those promises. the babes and i had so much fun making their valentines. { thank you pinterest }



this year kennedy really wanted a paul frank blanket. luckily target had just the one. and jagger is too young to care what he gets so the dollar aisle is my favorite. cars and sippy cups and the kid is happy for days.


and the husband came home with roses and a blank card- i asked him why he didn't write a love laced poem for me and sign it, and his respons- 'why would i write in it when you already know it's from me?' he's so romantic.


he's the granola-ish type so i got him smart water ;) jagger saw it in the aisle and yelled DADDY!!

and for christy i got her a last minute gift she needed.
happy valentines day to everyone!!
