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

We’ve been invited to a Monster Party.

The invitation came with this darling Little Monsters Cookbook and a request that we choose a ghoulie dish to bring to the party.  All the recipes are designed for “Little Monsters” to make.

We are still deciding what to bring…My kids are partial to these little Frankencakes….

I on the other hand love this Swampy Dip idea…. nice and easy… and one of my favorite appetizers.

I also “dig” these coffin crunchers.  Hummus and Pitas never looked so ghoulie.

Last but not least, my husband wants to “Trifle with Death.”  Which looks so fun I can hardly stand it.

Who will get their way is yet to be seen.  One thing is for sure, our Monster Party will be a smash!
