Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we’ve been busy as bees creating Valentine gifts for friends and family.

What sweeter gift to give than a little bit of honey?

It makes a perfect gift for a teacher or a dear friend.

If you would like to download the printable template I created click here.  I printed mine out on smooth, white cardstock.

The  card works for more than just honey:

My daughter is using them for her Valentine’s to give to her classmates.  You can choose Bit-O-Honey or whatever candy tickles your fancy.

For Lily’s Valentines we are going to fill a small plastic sack with treats.  Then we’ll fold a piece of cardstock over the opening.

Staple it down.

And glue on the tag.

This is the perfect project for my 8 year old, who loves anything crafty.

Dear Honey,

Won’t you Bee Mine?

XOXO

It’s the New Year and that means I’ve been thinking about my one little word.

Two years ago, I was inspired by Ali Edwards to choose “One Little Word” for the New Year instead of writing a long list of resolutions which I probably wouldn’t keep.

Like the last two years, I feel like this year’s word picked me.  Sometime in December I started thinking about words and when I thought of this one, it drove all other words from my mind.

Just like my past two words, I know my one little word will have surprises in store for me if I focus on it.

If you want to be happy, be.

~Leo Tolstoy
