Valentine's Day

I know, it's late.  But better late than never :)

As usual, we didn't do as much as I had originally planned.  I was going to make a heart-shaped cake, but my dad's birthday was on the 11th.  We celebrated with dinner and cake and I didn't feel like making another one again so soon.  Oh well, maybe next year :)

We did...

 

I found this at Wal-Mart for $3.  It contains enough to make 8 necklaces!

That's enough for 3 years of necklaces! 

Making them was fun...

At least when the "beads" would stay on the string...

they kept falling off. 

I finally had the idea of putting bag clips on the ends of the strings to hold the beads :)

And what food making project would be complete without a taste test?!?

Looks yummy, huh?!?

I guess the candy is much harder than he expected.

What one does...

 

So does the other!

And of course, Valentines wouldn't be Valentines without a little candy...

Pretzel bites (as we call them).  Others call them pretzel dots :)

It was a nice Valentine's Day.  How about yours?
