Valentines 2013

Dean got a treat this Valentine's Day and showed some love to his teachers with a snack!


For his classmates, I printed the card and put it in the round favor bags from walmart with Goldfish. We also send chocolate dipped heart-shaped marshmallows on a stick for a snack. Kids liked them, me not so much. The were cute, but not too tasty to me. I put white chocolate chex mix in a large mason jar and painted the top, added some ribbon and twine for a simple little teacher's gift. See below for the recipe and valentine idea. I saw many different versions of the dipped marshmallows, below is one similar.

Bathroom Mirror Project

I updated my guest bathroom mirror with a frame. You can see the before here http://sullytown.blogspot.com/2010/05/guest-bathroom-remodel.html This is before it was painted, but it was a large improvement. Eventually I want to put molding on the top like the project plan I followed.

This is the pinterest project I found to go by.

Mud Room Project

I call it a mud room, but it is my hallway. I found a project on pinterest I desperately needed to do in my back hallway. We don't have a laundry room or mud room, it is a hallway and the laundry room is in a closet. This has been a great asset to our house for hanging jackets, keys, bags, and laundry as I am putting up clothes.
This is the project I followed from pinterest.
