Project 84 - Valentine's OVERLOAD!!

Ok , so it was Valentine's Day yesterday.  Was I prepared.....NOoooooo!  Laundry and dishes piling up,  me in my PJ's blogging and thinking about all the projects I need to do, beds unmade,  kids needing Valentine's projects done, need I go on??  WHERE DID I START & when will I ever finish?  
Here is the answer to that question...........
NEVER!!!  
Don't you just love being a mom.
 :D
If you know me, I do everything at the last minute
 (cause' that's how I ROLL).  
Those Valentine's treats I had to prepare, (all 68 of them).........
DONE! 
Boxes  "we had to decorate "JUST RUGHT for class parties.......
DONE,  
the craft I'm in charge of, for the party.......
DONE.  
Wheeeew!  
Next.  Oh, I love being a MOM :D
Here are of all the cutie patootie projects the kids and I made for Valentines!
My daughter's shoebox before we "GIRLY-FIED" it :D
GIRLY-FIED!!
"






 This is my son's shoebox before we attacked it!
He fell in "love" with this frog from Create a Critter.



 I also made these treats for their classmates.


 Teacher's Valentine's card & Gifts (Candles).
For my daughter's close friends, and my Visiting Teachers from church, I made these White Chocolate Peppermint Heart Lollipops.  They were so easy to make!
Bake in oven @ 350 Degrees for about 5-8 minutes (watch them)




Melt the Almond Bark and cover the mints.  
Insert pop stick, sprinkle,  and let them cool......



Here they are......Yummy!!
 Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Bug Hugs :D
