<br />
Hello and happy Tuesday! I have been meaning to get to this project forever and am really happy I finally tackled it! With this crazy heat & drought we have had in California, I have been looking for a way to add a little greenery to our townhome without having to use up more water. <br />
<br />
On top of that, with my energetic son, my almost-two-year-old daughter, and another little one on the way (wait, did I mention that?) we don't have much time or brain power to worry about keeping plant life alive, which is why hopping on the succulent train seemed like an excellent idea.<br />
<br />
I am already completely in love with these little beauties-even more so now that they sit in these hand-painted pots! So check out the tutorial below to see how simple this project is!:<br />

<br />
1.) Paint the outside of your terra cotta pots in your desired hue (I did 3 coats!), as well as the inner few inches up until where you will pot the plant. Allow the paint to dry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2HhGwWYZOmsEeZBhyphenhyphenky3qA860Vc83m0iy3dEp2iqh7PmRuBlc2vmkDwpljZ8UES_Ulo_tkJpQ3jhKKpPgskb_7JqXii5No4y2mOs6KI-7LNKa7hXBVOKclOWszka71-7IZ0bNWijpjdtQ/s1600/Succulent+Planter+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2HhGwWYZOmsEeZBhyphenhyphenky3qA860Vc83m0iy3dEp2iqh7PmRuBlc2vmkDwpljZ8UES_Ulo_tkJpQ3jhKKpPgskb_7JqXii5No4y2mOs6KI-7LNKa7hXBVOKclOWszka71-7IZ0bNWijpjdtQ/s1600/Succulent+Planter+3.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2.) With you painter's tape, section off geometric patterns onto the outside of your pot. You can add triangles, stripes, or whatever type of shape your heart desires. I didn't measure mine, I just taped along until I liked the look of things:)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1_iba8BQPfi08ZiTdCm0qZTCltqDJWkDtQeMWPBMN5kc7LY__DVRaRqdF93gMTH4bv3dIRALSyoR-aunJndhc3rt7TMo3CEOcUCD7hdW6uj7ptKfVWO8gL2Ldo92LbEOKCcV453A55BU/s1600/Succulent+Planter+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1_iba8BQPfi08ZiTdCm0qZTCltqDJWkDtQeMWPBMN5kc7LY__DVRaRqdF93gMTH4bv3dIRALSyoR-aunJndhc3rt7TMo3CEOcUCD7hdW6uj7ptKfVWO8gL2Ldo92LbEOKCcV453A55BU/s1600/Succulent+Planter+4.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3.) Paint the taped-off shapes on the outside of your pots in assorted, contrasting colors, it took me about 3-4 coats, and allow them to dry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKK78FBXNykrBe9XCRXzr1PdUv-JL7BRd4xcmYuMYD41KRq1hs6f3F_pVSTIY0ED81gGTcynZoKAFpi5uUYu3thSgkDm6VwZjhZpMNG3OHFg5l_XKMcjMTbO4HGbJGoc8NBdqySDGUQHwM/s1600/Succulent+Planter+22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKK78FBXNykrBe9XCRXzr1PdUv-JL7BRd4xcmYuMYD41KRq1hs6f3F_pVSTIY0ED81gGTcynZoKAFpi5uUYu3thSgkDm6VwZjhZpMNG3OHFg5l_XKMcjMTbO4HGbJGoc8NBdqySDGUQHwM/s1600/Succulent+Planter+22.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4.) For my hexagon planter, I cut out shapes from printed card-stock....<br />
<br />

I decided to go ahead and make you another printable, just to keep things simple, and you can print it up for free right here: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6u6uDoVA-AedzlnN3JKNGd2bjA/edit?usp=sharing"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">HEXAGON PRINTABLE from Juneberry Lane</span></a><br />

<br />
4.) (cont'd) ...after I cut out the card stock shapes, I taped them onto the outside of the pot. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9sdTAQD4hSBmBnSolPNylOxisfn7oNQqMMXbD-_C1FiAEHBFONGyTrQXQ8c5nrLjOTN87nPbEaP7hz4U8Riv5YvY8VltIqzKWVwfyGt0mBUJuKHBZfZx6vulymC7qVofXr2cmj3q6TprN/s1600/Succulent+Planter+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9sdTAQD4hSBmBnSolPNylOxisfn7oNQqMMXbD-_C1FiAEHBFONGyTrQXQ8c5nrLjOTN87nPbEaP7hz4U8Riv5YvY8VltIqzKWVwfyGt0mBUJuKHBZfZx6vulymC7qVofXr2cmj3q6TprN/s1600/Succulent+Planter+7.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
5.) With my painter's tape, I taped off each of the hexagon shapes, removing my card stock guideline and then painting the different shapes one at a time until I had the amount of hexagons I wanted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDrN9_DfekPb9fpcc5eB-23g8q9FbG9-l6E7RLo8V2YJIQBKLVjq-LAKgNSXqtaokL-LcWd8R9QdMnGAZ8YJwvXg9_PIhLCjQoH7RCX8GCnbx5on828tu7dvHyj7RCCbN1Yd7YiI4hqBDQ/s1600/Succulent+Planter+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDrN9_DfekPb9fpcc5eB-23g8q9FbG9-l6E7RLo8V2YJIQBKLVjq-LAKgNSXqtaokL-LcWd8R9QdMnGAZ8YJwvXg9_PIhLCjQoH7RCX8GCnbx5on828tu7dvHyj7RCCbN1Yd7YiI4hqBDQ/s1600/Succulent+Planter+8.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
6.) If you need to repot your succulents (that is, if your storebought plants don't come in the size to slip right inside the terra cotta plants), just make sure to use a potting soil blend made for cactus & succulent plants. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIWLdl7bVY_mN1yCjo-9279kjRUgs0XRtdmSOevuKdx985seBoM_JKSzi7GkGvvba2CpWGM2nfPTIOWtbp_yXNC_jmWnHjzRov3BjSGMAeqfTE-xlDD9d2kuTpuatQPJj4YXjNqGVZ7OFm/s1600/Succulent+Planter+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIWLdl7bVY_mN1yCjo-9279kjRUgs0XRtdmSOevuKdx985seBoM_JKSzi7GkGvvba2CpWGM2nfPTIOWtbp_yXNC_jmWnHjzRov3BjSGMAeqfTE-xlDD9d2kuTpuatQPJj4YXjNqGVZ7OFm/s1600/Succulent+Planter+9.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
7.) Add a few tablespoons of soil to the bottom of your pots and then transfer those beauties into your painted vases.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0X2wwOJ6aVZ7HrwwfEt5iJ3YIRkfmb4xgdroJZAKnZHs-Z2TQhVTuFIu2rJt5WCAIPwM2bMj0sMskPWuHWaVUsdzmNZE97DTlxpjI2g9LOvSj-q9shkZJkX3nogu2DmiD7lm6Q-Yn9L8/s1600/Succulent+Planter+10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0X2wwOJ6aVZ7HrwwfEt5iJ3YIRkfmb4xgdroJZAKnZHs-Z2TQhVTuFIu2rJt5WCAIPwM2bMj0sMskPWuHWaVUsdzmNZE97DTlxpjI2g9LOvSj-q9shkZJkX3nogu2DmiD7lm6Q-Yn9L8/s1600/Succulent+Planter+10.jpg" height="406" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And you have a bright pop of color to liven up a windowsill or countertop and some lovely, very low-maintenance plants to make you smile as you head into fall!<br />

Easy, fun, & frugal too! I can't wait to head back to the nursery with the kids this weekend and let them pick out their own mini-version of succulent plants & mini pots to paint themselves!

If you are anything like me, you have been on the hunt for a place to keep all of that mail that is endlessly streaming into your house everyday - not to mention the receipts that end up crumpled up in my wallet, on the counters, and in my husband's pants pockets!<br />
<br />
This pretty little thing is just the thing I was going for to add a pop of color to my kitchen and to keep what was becoming our wildly out-of-control mail corner into a place of beauty:) Now later on this week I am going to share with you a super simple tutorial & template on how to make little receipt folders out of decorative paper, but in the meantime, I was so excited about my project that I had to share! <br />
<br />
Take a look.....<br />

<b><br /></b>
1.) Apply a thin strip of glue along the base of your decorative shelf bracket (this is actually a little too generous and the glue expands and you will have to wipe the excess with a wet towel:) Attach it to one end of the board, flush against the back & sides. I held mine in place for about 1-2 minutes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI8X_JIPO5JGh_LA5mEVkgGgz7LP6jq4PmoWqgeCyKXjl5S5BecHzY4FZKVYejh1g4Ehz6qWkaeAmkqBPcxB2DLARXE8GqZZlKituuge2NFe9U1aLC6BxK84gRMjZKYOhf89F_rb28z9RN/s1600/Mail+Sorter+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI8X_JIPO5JGh_LA5mEVkgGgz7LP6jq4PmoWqgeCyKXjl5S5BecHzY4FZKVYejh1g4Ehz6qWkaeAmkqBPcxB2DLARXE8GqZZlKituuge2NFe9U1aLC6BxK84gRMjZKYOhf89F_rb28z9RN/s1600/Mail+Sorter+3.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2.) Repeat the above step on the other side of the board.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3.) Divide the length of your board into thirds (for example, mine measured 2 feet across, which is 24 inches). Mark a pencil dot at 1/3 of the way across and 2/3 of the way. (My 24 inch board got a dot at 8 inches and 16 inches).<br />
<br />

<br />
4.) Glue the remaining two shelf brackets down on the center of the pencil marks, flush against the back of the baseboard. Allow the glue to dry.<br />
<br />

5.) Paint your board & shelf brackets in a color that matches your room decor:)<br />

<br />
6.) So after a little consideration, I decided to make you a printable, in case you want to avoid painting the inside of your frames and using a paint pen to write in your sorter categories-I did! You can find your free printable <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6u6uDoVA-AeamVHMlBobWV2QzQ/edit?usp=sharing"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">RIGHT HERE</span></a>. Or you can go ahead and paint the inside of the frame and write with a paint pen the categories for inside the mini frames.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
7.) I used the paper inside the frame as a guide to cut out my printables, then placed them inside the frames and glued them to the front of the mail sorter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8.) And that's all there is to it! A gorgeous handmade creation to keep all of those pesky envelopes & receipts in proper order!<br />

But I have been so busy with my shop and party styling that I am just now getting back to this lovely little site of mine. I have so many fun things planned for the future of Juneberry Lane and I promise we will get there one little bit at a time. But for now I will be popping in whenever I can to bring you all sorts of party, craft, & design inspiration and as many DIY tutorials as possible.<br />
<br />
So let's jump back into the swing of things with the easiest tutorial ever-a small magnet for the dishwasher to let family & friends know whether or not the dishes inside are clean or dirty; after all, you know I like making the most mundane gadgets in the house as pretty as possible...<br />

And there you go, once you train your family to flip the magnet whenever they start or unload the dishwasher (as if anyone does it but you;) no one ever has to ask "Are these dishes clean or dirty?" in your house again:) See you soon...Juneberry Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298609567759554756noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439075078885993964.post-37287111832962796382013-11-25T13:42:00.000-08:002013-11-25T13:42:00.918-08:00DIY Lollipop Turkeys!!<br />

Well, we are just days away from Turkey day, so I am sending you a couple final projects that you can put together with your little ones! This activity is both fun and SUPER easy-I promise, because I managed to make this happen on a non-preschool day and my 3.5 year old lended a hand. <br />
<br />
Now, if you know my boy, you know it is NO small feat finishing a craft with him in the room. But I think the enticement of potential lollipops sweetened the deal, because he was way too eager to help out with this one! This makes a great treat to take to school or even to a family dinner where there will be kiddos at the table. And everything you need is either laying around the house already, or gathered simply by a quick trip to your local dollar store. Here's how you do it . . .<br />

<br />
About halfway through, I decided I wanted a base for my lollipop turkey, so that I could dress it up a bit and also add some stability for the little guy on the table. Here are a few more supplies I added to the activity . . .<br />
<br />
~ Kraft wrapping paper<br />
~ Tape<br />
~ Small book<br />
~ Empty masking tape roll<br />
~ Scissors<br />

<br />
5.) Wrap the book in kraft or wrapping paper and hot glue the empty masking tape roll to the front.<br />

6.) You can write a 'Happy Thanksgiving' message on the front of your book base - I happened to have some really pretty adhesive letters, so my little guy helped me stick on a fancy message!<br />

9.) Glue the medium disc to the larger styrofoam disc. With your glue gun, attach two googly eyes to the front of your 'turkey face'.<br />

<br />
10.) Cut a small piece of red ribbon (you can cut out a small triangle on the edge if you want!) and attach it directly under the eyes to make the 'gobbler'.<br />
<br />

<br />
11.) Adhere the orange bead to the top of the red ribbon gobbler.<br />
<br />

<br />
12.) With your hot glue, adhere the large styrofoam disc to the top of your empty masking tape roll. Add in your lollipops along the top edges of your two styrofoam discs to make the turkey 'feathers'. And that's it!<br />

Oh my word, can you believe next week is Thanksgiving already? Time sure has been flying!! This week over here at Juneberry Lane, we are going to focus on some last minute treats & crafts that will add some real punch to your holiday table, but are quick & budget-friendly too ~ just in case you are feeling the time crunch as much as I am.<br />
<br />
Today's Turkey treat makes an excellent snack to bring along with you if you are invited over to a friend's or relative's house this Thanksgiving. I never am quite sure what to bring, and while a bottle of wine, candle, or bouquet of flowers always works as an excellent host/hostess gift, this extra special edible project is sure to be unforgettable! What's more, it is quick & simple too! Take a look . . .<br />

<br />
1.) Using your hot glue gun, adhere the squash to the front of your pumpkin, standing it up to make the turkey head.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghi0llRw44kxoyss5K5qpLvrdRRAneS3SVdOmYKltjfxtunGnpYigEiS95jfgtzoMNvpRqYKloHAJNtQGg3HHhVZy82Yx2tTA3C2TtLdqnq71ao_LhmjzmY85QojrapfLruzSfGAnF7Sw1/s1600/Appetizer+Turkey+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghi0llRw44kxoyss5K5qpLvrdRRAneS3SVdOmYKltjfxtunGnpYigEiS95jfgtzoMNvpRqYKloHAJNtQGg3HHhVZy82Yx2tTA3C2TtLdqnq71ao_LhmjzmY85QojrapfLruzSfGAnF7Sw1/s640/Appetizer+Turkey+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2.) Break your toothpick in half and slide your two carrot slices onto each half.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3.) Place your two raisins on the end of each toothpick half to make the eyes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinbIZ39-SagAyh5z6YgQL3xwZbry9lRU_8HJQja58TzD_yo6LFsqY5liNvVnZek2JWI_CrGD9df2gwfCzcraPEDJeeDzTAeMOwsiDI9Ftp__SBKKwnVnkvMEpbzCrPP-0drWLq69GjnBiI/s1600/Appetizer+Turkey+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinbIZ39-SagAyh5z6YgQL3xwZbry9lRU_8HJQja58TzD_yo6LFsqY5liNvVnZek2JWI_CrGD9df2gwfCzcraPEDJeeDzTAeMOwsiDI9Ftp__SBKKwnVnkvMEpbzCrPP-0drWLq69GjnBiI/s640/Appetizer+Turkey+5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4.) Attach the two toothpicks to the front of your squash. With your hot glue gun, attach the orange M & M underneath the eyes to make the beak. Slice off the top of your red chile pepper and hot glue it to the front of the turkey face under the nose, to make the gobbler:) <br />
<br />
5.) Cut up your assorted cheeses, cherry tomatoes, sausage, and any other snack you would like to add and slide them onto the skewer sticks (see tips below). Insert the pointed edge of your skewer sticks to the back of your turkey to create a fan of snack 'feathers'!<br />
<br />
<b>Helpful Tips:</b><br />
<br />
~ make sure your pumpkin is sturdy enough to hold the weight of your snack sticks, so be sure to choose a heavy, larger pumpkin. If your pumpkin is too light, your turkey will topple over when the snack sticks are taken off and becomes unbalanced.<br />
~ Insert your skewer sticks ahead of time, and then remove them to add the snacks, making the holes in the pumpkin a little larger to make removing the skewer sticks from the pumpkin and snacking at the party easier.<br />

How about a fun afternoon craft with the kiddos? You know one of my favorites is the always-gorgeous paper pinwheel....well now you can combine them in all of their splendor with those irresistible little pinecone turkeys. Use them on your mantel for an eye-popping Thanksgiving Day decoration-or even place them on your dinner table as the sweetest centerpiece or place-card holder.<br />
<br />
They're easy & fun, SUPER cheap, and the kiddos love them! Take a look . . .<br />

<br />

<br />
6.) With your hot glue gun, stick the two tops of the ribbon on either side of the pinecone scale where you placed your googly eyes, trimming it if necessary.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
7.) Cut 3 strips of decorative paper, 12 inches long and 4 inches wide (we used a piece of 12 x 12 piece of paper from Michael's and cut it into thirds). Accordian-fold all three strips of paper.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5KOz1LHzVYQ51zT_gf5P4c5oTV4IT41IyPz5WUijiOwrfqgEH3DMYs_v_-e8zropUqZe4ID9V_wRlv_PaFxY9zPjnPvauuLCqpx2gBV3oBCVr4Xsehb3LhxQR_jc4UWUEBiV4nb5i1Qn/s1600/Pinwheel+Turkey+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5KOz1LHzVYQ51zT_gf5P4c5oTV4IT41IyPz5WUijiOwrfqgEH3DMYs_v_-e8zropUqZe4ID9V_wRlv_PaFxY9zPjnPvauuLCqpx2gBV3oBCVr4Xsehb3LhxQR_jc4UWUEBiV4nb5i1Qn/s640/Pinwheel+Turkey+11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
8.) With your double-sided tape, adhere all three strips of accordian-folded paper together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ye8ku3O84mRwBbF6SBpacEmJfjFdrMn-QvJOuTf0WPyJ0n7yeKevdPIG1Oe1Nw9wSFAi9Zes7zyxfu3D6oJpTmSUMe2rQ4JXEhWhRrDsQF6v4KWo4ugdPlBs-PTjiOOpcuif_3_l-hl4/s1600/Pinwheel+Turkey+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ye8ku3O84mRwBbF6SBpacEmJfjFdrMn-QvJOuTf0WPyJ0n7yeKevdPIG1Oe1Nw9wSFAi9Zes7zyxfu3D6oJpTmSUMe2rQ4JXEhWhRrDsQF6v4KWo4ugdPlBs-PTjiOOpcuif_3_l-hl4/s640/Pinwheel+Turkey+12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
9.) Close the circle with another piece of double-sided tape and stand it up straight like a coffee shop hot drink sleeve.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0Md-BeqOe5_gm11kOW8Jr8neovMdHZcxrn_ZBgqCMd3xcD4GGFijtgW1-U6w7n5YSyfNYjuXAQetdkKI8RcMg2W6OcQansO6i7hteTTdld781xP_IUUwLVFZZzAC7_t8VRCqG1P-61ND/s1600/Pinwheel+Turkey+13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0Md-BeqOe5_gm11kOW8Jr8neovMdHZcxrn_ZBgqCMd3xcD4GGFijtgW1-U6w7n5YSyfNYjuXAQetdkKI8RcMg2W6OcQansO6i7hteTTdld781xP_IUUwLVFZZzAC7_t8VRCqG1P-61ND/s640/Pinwheel+Turkey+13.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
10.) Cut a circle out of scrap paper-it doesn't have to be neat, because you won't see it:) Press the accordion-folded circle down at the center to lie flat on the table, then adhere the paper circle to the center with hot glue.<br />
<br />

<br />
11.) Cut a 1/4 piece off of the bottom of your paper pinwheel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWgK50TZ5Yrn8WPdWuC_kbd-nWzRwCTPOuH_BCiaNklyRbh-fBx1s_qXFBczL2YIPyFf69l8K_TMRKidaPB7TuKCWzdEivuIfQc6MuD6ZTZFmnpk_mMHub3dt2VHbrqeB5mmiPLad-ZwKI/s1600/Pinwheel+Turkey+16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWgK50TZ5Yrn8WPdWuC_kbd-nWzRwCTPOuH_BCiaNklyRbh-fBx1s_qXFBczL2YIPyFf69l8K_TMRKidaPB7TuKCWzdEivuIfQc6MuD6ZTZFmnpk_mMHub3dt2VHbrqeB5mmiPLad-ZwKI/s640/Pinwheel+Turkey+16.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
12.) Finally, use your hot glue gun to adhere the paper circle on your pinwheel to the back of your pinecone. Isn't he just the sweetest little thing?<br />

And these popcorn bars are perfect for any fall shindig, pumpkin carving, Autumn wedding, school snack, or even as a fun treat for trick or treaters on the porch in lieu of passing out traditional candy.<br />

I don't know about you, but these make me want to start planning a Halloween hayride straight away! Just see for yourself . . .<br />

<br />
This past weekend my husband and I decided to clean out our kitchen to make some room for all of our fabulous shower and wedding gifts that we received. I usually dread cleaning out the kitchen as it always makes me realize how much of a kitchen utensil and appliance hoarder I am. While emptying and wiping out cabinets I usually find quirky baking accessories (such as: eccentric cupcake liners, random piping bags, and several bottles of the same shade of food coloring) and forgotten cooking supplies (like: two extra knife block sets, my George Foreman grill from college, and more oven mitts and aprons then I know what do with). <br />
<br />
But while cleaning out one of our drawers I came across two sets of ice cube trays that my husband and I used in our refrigerator several years ago at our old rental house. We now have an ice cube maker, so I was just about ready to toss them into the trash when I remembered all of the variety of different fruit and herb ice cube recipes that I have seen throughout sites like Pinterest and Facebook. So after a good hard scrubbing I decided to keep them...and I am SO glad that I did!<br />
<br />
After searching for some frozen lime cubes to put in my husband's Gin and Tonic, I stumbled across a recipe on how to make chocolate candies in those unused freezer trays. I continued researching and found a variety of different ways to satisfy that sweet tooth, while recycling this old piece of kitchen equipment. Who would have known that you could make dessert in ice cube trays?<br />
<br />
Now try a taste of these tempting treats that will have you wondering why anyone would use their ice cube trays for anything but sweets!<br />

the prepared graham cracker ice cube molds from the fridge and fill
each cube the rest of the way with cheesecake. Let it set in the
freezer for at least an hour before coating.<br />
<br />
4.) In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the molding wafers until they're smooth.<br />
<br />
5.) Pop
the set cheesecake out of the molds and set them on a wire rack with a
plate underneath for easy cleanup. Pour the melted chocolate over each
piece of cheesecake until all are covered. Place a curl of orange zest
on top and let the chocolate set. <br />

<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1.) In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, powdered sugar, and salt. Set aside.<br />
<br />
2.) Chop chocolate into small pieces (no larger than about 3/4 inch
long) and combine in a glass bowl that is completely dry.<br />
<br />
3.) Microwave in
30 second bursts on 50% power, stirring between each burst, ensuring
that your spatula is also completely dry. Once chocolate is about 2/3
melted (there are still some chunks in the melted chocolate), stir until
remaining chunks melt. This prevents the chocolate from getting too
hot.<br />
<br />
4.) Pour melted chocolate into the mixing bowl containing the dry
ingredients and stir until combined. Mixture will be very thick, similar
to brownie batter. Spoon mixture into a piping bag (no coupler or tip
is needed) or into a sandwich bag with the corner sliced off. Pipe the
chocolate into an ice cube tray.<br />
<br />
5.) Once all chocolate has been piped, pound the tray lightly on the
counter to eliminate air bubbles and to flatten the tops of the cubes if
they are uneven. Working one cube at a time, insert a stick and place
four mini marshmallows onto the top of the cube.<br />
<br />
6.) Once all cubes are
complete, set aside until cubes are completely dry. You can also place
them in the fridge if you are in a hurry.<br />
<br />
7.) Once all cubes are dry, remove carefully from the molds. Wrap pretty and store in the cupboard.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>
<b>To Use:</b><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span><br />
1.) Heat up 1 cup milk (approximately 1 ounce of chocolate should be
used for each cup of milk, so adjust based on the weight of your cube)
and stir in. Cube will take several minutes to dissolve completely.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">6 Tablespoons of Unsalted Butter</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1 Cup of 35% Cream</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1/4 Teaspoon of Salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1 1/2 Cups of White Sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1/4 Cup of Light Corn Syrup</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1/4 Cup of Water</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1 Cup of Dark Chocolate</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Candy Thermometer </span><b><span style="font-size: small;"></span></b></li>
</ul>
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1.) <span style="font-size: small;">In one small sauce pan combine
butter, cream, and salt. Bring to a low boil for 1 minute. Remove from
heat. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2.) In another slightly larger small sauce pan combine sugar, corn
syrup, and water. (**Be cautious while pouring in ingredients, add them all
to the middle of the pot.**) You want to be cautious that the sugar doesn’t
crystallize/burn on the edges of the pot. Heat over medium high heat
until sugar mixture begins to turn brown or an amber color. Do not stir
the pan, you can gently swirl the pot to distribute the heat if
necessary. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">3.) At approximately 310 degrees F it should start to have a
caramel-like aroma and will turn a very pretty reddish brown. Now pour
your cream/butter mixture into the sugar. (**BE CAREFUL. It will bubble up
ferociously.**)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">4.) Now here’s when your candy
thermometer comes into play. Heat mixture, while stirring occasionally
until it reaches 248 F. Once it does, remove from heat and pour into
sprayed ice cube trays. I recommend using ice cube trays that had silicone bottoms allowing these to “pop” out
easier. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">5.) Pop these into the freezer for an hour. Melt chocolate either in a
double broiler or the microwave. Transfer chocolate to a plastic baggy and snip a corner.
Drizzle on chocolate however you please. Let chocolate harden in refrigerator. </span><br />

<br />
<u><b>Ingredients:</b></u><br />
(Makes 28 peices)<br />
<ul>
<li>1/2 package of Vanilla Candiquik</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons of chopped peanuts</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons of Heath toffee chips</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons of mini chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 ounce of Craisins</li>
</ul>
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1.) <b> </b> Stir all your mix-ins together.<br />
<br />
2.) Melt your chocolate. Pay close attention to the package
directions. If you melt it in the microwave it only takes a minute. Stir it often. **Don't overheat it... that will just make it
harder – not smoother.**<br />
<br />
3.) Spoon your melted chocolate into the cube sections, or fill empty ketchup/mustard bottles with
melted chocolate, and squirt into two ice cube trays.<br />
<br />
4.) Cool your bark until it’s solid. If you’re in a rush, you can
speed this process up by putting it in the refrigerator, though it’s not
necessary – it will harden just was well on the counter.<br />
<br />
5.) Then, just pop them out and serve.<br />
<br />

<br />
Every year as a child, I would always get so excited to go school shopping to get all the supplies on my list. I remember picking out colorful Lisa Frank folders for each subject, a backpack with the newest Disney Princess on it, and a plastic lunch box that always matched. I couldn't wait until school started so I could use my newest accessories.<br />
<br />
One of my most fondest memories growing up was when I was in elementary school and I would open up my new lunch box and inside would be a note on a napkin or a special treat from my mother. It always made me smile and reminded me that no matter how hard of a day I may be having, I always had someone at home who loved me.<br />
<br />
So, today I am sharing with parents some creative ways to make lunch extra special for your children, and show them that even though you may not be there with them at school, you're always thinking about them. Now, whether you're more culinary focused (like me) or crafty minded (like my sister), these treats and projects will be a welcome surprise to your kids' lunchbox.<br />
<br />
<u>For All You Amateur Chefs:</u> Whip up a few of these scrumptious sweets that will make your little one the envy of every child in the cafeteria...plus they don't even have to know that these treats are healthy for them!<br />

2.) Place
the gelatin powder on a plate and roll grapes into the powder,
completely covering. Using two spoons will help with this. Or you can
simply place the powder in a zip lock back, drop a handful of grapes in
at a time and shake until covered. Refrigerate for several hours.<br />

You can start saving $$$ for the holidays (yikes!) by bringing your lunch from home and also make sure your meal is full of nutritious goodness too! <br />
<br />
I am losing my mind for these gorgeous hand-painted lovelies from <a href="http://www.nkuku.com/"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Nkuku</span></a>. Sure, you can't wash them in the dishwasher, but who cares? The extra minutes you get to spend just gazing at them while hand-washing makes it all worth it . . .<br />

Alright, alright, I am a total lunch-packing dork. I get an insane surge of happiness looking at both of my boys' packed lunch boxes in the refrigerator-such a regular, mundane task, but I just feel so darn accomplished after completing it.</div>

So whether you are headed to work or just enjoying your quiet afternoon outside sans kiddos, take a minute to treat yourself to your own back-to-school supply. You (nor your shrinking waistline or bulging wallet) won't regret it!!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Every morning I press the snooze button several times</span>, and finally roll out of bed at the last minute. Still halfway asleep I rush around piecing together my outfit, trying to tame my out of control bed head, and quickly trying to grab something out of the pantry for breakfast. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for parents that not only have to get themselves ready every morning, but also to make sure that their children's clothes match, their kids aren't gorging themselves on tons of sugary cereal, all of their homework is in their backpack, and a healthy delicious lunch is packed in their Justin Bieber lunch box. Why can't there be just a little more time in the morning?<br />
<br />
With a bit of research I have have discovered a way to get an extra few minutes of sleep and just a couple of seconds more to apply that mascara you never have time for; while also preparing a delicious healthy breakfast for you and your family. This can all be possible with some of the most clever and yummy recipes that I've ever shared with my Frosted readers...Breakfast in the Crock Pot!!<br />
<br />
Just toss some of these ingredients into your slow cooker and bake overnight. In the morning you'll have a tasty meal for your family that won't involve those boxed sweet toasted pastries, sugar filled colorful cereals drowned in milk, or even a greasy drive-through breakfast sandwich. So, wake-up, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and relax with some of these yummy breakfast dishes that will surely jump start your day!<br />

<br />
As I may have mentioned before, he is absolutely, madly, & deeply in love with garbage...we wait for the big blue truck every week and dumpsters are a main topic of conversation over here. If you have yourself one of these trash-talkin' boys or girls, you know EXACTLY what I am discussing here::) <br />

There is nothing like the long, slow, lazy days of summer to have you day-dreaming ahead to your next get-together....fun evenings full of friends & laughter and just the right amount of pretty party decor to give your shindig that little bit of Je ne sais quoi to put a smile on your face to last to the fall.<br />
<br />
Mint & blush make the perfect combination of summer ~ but add in that ever-so-popular gold leaf and you have yourself one beautiful bash that will work clear on into the middle of fall. Take a look . . .<br />

Well, being that things have finally cooled down for a second and the holidays are on a slight hiatus, now is the perfect time to settle in and have a little fun with a simple, cute DIY project to bring a smile to anyone's face. <br />
<br />
And these adorable paper roll owls via <a href="http://www.thecentsiblelife.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c;">The Centsible Life</span></a> are just the thing to do it! Costing basically nothing and easy to throw together with supplies you already have (some in the bathroom, ha ha ha!) you can turn a perfectly terrible middle of the week slump around in no time! <br />
<br />
Go ahead, line your office desk with these at work, throw a few on your windowsill, or surprise your little one with a few new wise friends waiting on the night stand when they wake up from their nap! Here's what you do . . .<br />

<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1.) Begin by drawing a half oval at the top of the paper roll, I used a cookie cutter as a stencil for mine. Cut the circle out and use it as a template to cut an identical one from the back side of the paper roll too.<br />

<br />
Don’t throw the cut pieces away, set them aside because you will use these for the wings shortly.<br />

<br />
2.) Place two fingers inside the paper roll and cover it in glue. Roll the paper roll onto the scrap paper then trim accordingly.<br />
<br />

<br />
3.) Set aside to dry for a bit. Cover one side of the two pieces you cut off the paper roll in glue and place onto the back of the glitter card stock. Set aside to dry.<br />
<br />

<br />
4.) Next, you are going to cut the white and black foam to make eyes. I used a couple of icing tips to size mine.<br />
<br />

<br />
5.) Cut out a small beak from yellow glitter card stock. Attach the eyes, beak, and wings using glue where needed. Set aside to dry, and you are done.<br />

Now you know me, I am always thinking of gender reveal parties....so if you wanted to purchase our Owl gender reveal invitations right <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/73957600/owl-party-invitations"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c;">here</span></a>...and throw a little party for your friends & family, one of these little cuties on each of the place settings at the party and filled with blue or pink confetti (and covered on the bottom) would make an excellent way to announce boy or girl, don't you think?? I LOVE IT!!<br />

This last week my little nephew Sullivan started preschool. I am so excited for him to experience the joys and memories that I had while attending school, like: meeting new friends, playing on the playground, and learning tons of new things!!<br />
<br />
For the past couple of weeks my sister Misty has been sharing a variety of exciting lunch ideas (on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">Juneberry Lane</span> and Facebook) for other moms who have young kids in school. This got me thinking of my favorite school lunch as a child...a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich with a little carton of milk! Yum!!<br />
<br />
I sometimes wish I was back to those days when I would open my pink plastic My Little Pony lunch box and there was a neatly packaged sandwich overflowing with creamy smooth peanut butter and dripping with sweet grape jelly.<br />
<br />
This got me questioning why I don't make myself more of one of my favorite sandwiches? So, this week I am sharing with you a way to enjoy that classic lunch staple...but with an adult twist! Now, put away that knife...you won't have to cut off the crust on these gooey goodies.<br />

<br />
<b> Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy, for 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla until well combined.<br />
<br />
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and
baking soda. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture to
the peanut butter mixture and beat until just combined.<br />
<br />
3. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a rectangular block.
Using your fingers, pinch along the middle of the top and along the two
sides to form indentations along the length of the block so the dough
looks like a bread loaf. Wrap each half in seran
wrap and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.<br />
<br />
4. When dough is chilled, unwrap the dough and use a sharp knife to cut
slices of "bread" in 1/4" thickness. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
5. Place 1" apart on a parchment paper or silpat-lined cookie sheet and
bake for 7-9 minutes, or until edges just begin to brown. Cool for 5
minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<br />
<br />
6. To paint crusts onto the baked cookies, combine vodka and brown food
coloring. Use a clean paint brush to brush mixture on the sides of all
the cookies. Using vodka instead of water will prevent the cookies from
getting soggy since the alcohol will evaporate!<br />
<br />
7. To make the sandwiches, take one cookie slice and spread with jelly.
Match cookie with another slice of similar size and make your PB&J
sandwich!<br />

<b>Cream Cheese Pie Crust Ingredients:</b><br />
(Make approximately 12 pie pops)<br />
<ul>
<li>2 cups of all purpose flour</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon of baking powder</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon of salt</li>
<li>3/4 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes</li>
<li>1/4 cup of cold cream cheese, cut into cubes</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons of buttermilk</li>
</ul>
<b>Egg Wash Ingredients:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>1 egg, lightly beaten</li>
<li>1 Tablespoon of heavy cream<b> </b></li>
</ul>
<b>Filling Ingredients:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>1/4 cup of peanut butter</li>
<li>1/4 cup of blackberry jam (or any jam/jelly flavor of your choice)</li>
<li>12 Popsicle sticks </li>
</ul>
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1. Soak Popsicle sticks in water overnight or for several hours.<br />
<br />
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the cold cubes of butter and cream cheese and cut in with a pastry knife or your fingers until a fine crumble is made. Add the buttermilk and gently work together, until a dough just comes together.<br />
<br />
3. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Once the dough has chilled, roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Cut 24, 2 1/2 inch fluted circles from the dough and fill half with a small amount peanut butter and jelly filling. Place popsicle sticks flat down on top of the jelly filling. The stick should be approximately an inch inside the pie, with the rest stick coming out of the bottom.<br />
<br />
4. Whisk together the egg and cream. Brush the perimeter of each hand pie with the egg wash and place the
non-filled pie crusts over each filled crusts and gently press
together to seal. Brush the tops with egg wash.<br />
<br />
5. Using a pairing knife, cut 3 small slits on the tops of each hand pie. Place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the pb&j pie pops to cool completely on a cooling rack.<br />

<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1. <b> </b>First, make the ice cream. In a blender or food processor, puree all ice
cream ingredients until smooth. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn
according to manufacturer instructions.<br />
<br />
2. While ice cream is churning, make the crusts. Line a muffin-cup baking sheet with 12 paper baking cups. <i>Lightly</i> spray
each cup with cooking spray. In a food processor, combine the graham
cracker crumbs, peanut butter, butter, and sugar. Mix until mixture comes together. Divide crumbs evenly
amongst the 12 baking cups, pressing crumbs into the bottom to form a
crust. Bake at 375F for 6-7 minutes, until lightly browned.<br />
<br />
3. Once ice cream has finished churning, spoon ice cream into each baked
crust, filling to the top. (Note: You will have a few cups of leftover
ice cream.) Place muffin tin into the freezer
so ice cream can set.<br />
<br />
4. While ice cream is freezing, make the mini pb & j sandwich
cookies. (Note: You will have at least a dozen extra mini
cookies.) Combine the egg, peanut butter, and sugar in an electric mixer
until smooth. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form dough into
small balls (half the size of a golf ball). Use a fork to create the
criss-cross in each cookie. Bake cookies for 4 minutes at 350 degrees F. Allow to
cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire baking rack to cool
completely.<br />
<br />
5. Once cookies are cool, mix strawberry preserves and cream cheese in a
small bowl. Spread a small bit of the mixture on twelve cookies and top
with another cookie to create a sandwich. Garnish ice cream cups with
mini cookie sandwiches.<br />

<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
(Serves 8-10 people)<b> </b><br />
<ul>
<li>1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter</li>
<li>8 ounces of cream cheese, at room temperature</li>
<li>1 1/4 cups of confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting</li>
<li>1 teaspoon of vanilla extract</li>
<li>1 cup of heavy cream</li>
<li>1/2 cup of seedless raspberry jam</li>
<li>14 Italian-style crisp ladyfingers</li>
<li>4 cups of raspberries</li>
<li>Shaved chocolate, for topping<b> </b></li>
</ul>
<b>Directions:</b><b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1. Beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla
extract and 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth and fluffy; 3-4 minutes.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup cream and beat until creamy, about 2 more
minutes. (Note: Do not overbeat.)<br />
<br />
2. Whisk the jam and 1/3 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Spoon
about 3 Tablespoons of the jam mixture into a 9x5 loaf pan. Cover with half the
ladyfingers, arranging them lengthwise. Brush with half the remaining
jam mixture. (Note: Don't worry if it looks like a lot of liquid; the
ladyfingers will absorb it as the tiramisu sits.)<br />
<br />
3. Spread half the peanut butter cream over the ladyfingers. Top with 2
cups of raspberries and the rest of the ladyfingers. Brush the
ladyfingers with the remaining jam mixture and spread the remaining
peanut butter cream on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at
least 8 hours.<br />
<br />
4. Uncover the tiramisu and top with the remaining 2 cups raspberries and shaved chocolate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.<br />

1. Whip the butter and salt until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar
followed by the white chocolate, beating to incorporate. Add the
strawberry jam and continue beating until light and fluffy. Fill each macaroon with the butter-cream and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow
flavors to mellow.<b> </b><br />

So throw out those sandwich baggies and get out a cookie sheet...and enjoy the taste of the past<br />
with each peanut butter and jelly treat. Have a wonderful weekend!<br />
<br />
***be sure to check with your school/team to make sure there are no nut allergies before serving:)<br />

Whew, what a busy week over here...orders are racking up, parties are being planned, a very busy Spring is in the air! I am just popping in really quickly to share two more things with you....my sweet boy's teachers gifts for preschool and the Valentines we made for him to give his class!<br />
<br />
As most of you may have heard me mention a time or two, my little (very high energy!) guy is CRAZY for cars & trucks, so as with most everything I do with him, it helps to incorporate anything with wheels if you want to keep him interested for longer than 30 seconds . . .<br />

All you need is a heart cookie cutter, popsicle sticks, and some delicious fresh fruit and yogurt!<br />

I just love the thought of surprising your family with a delightful breakfast on the morning of the big day. <br />
<br />
And yes, most of us are pressed for time in the race to get everyone out the door for work and school (ha ha, I can say that now), but that doesn't mean you can't throw together one of these lovely little meals to fill everyone's bellies and hearts with love:)<br />

1.) Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut hearts out of each slice of bread. Pour 1-2 tablespoons milk into a small bowl, ramekin, or glass. Squeeze in 1 drop of food coloring and stir. Add more drops of food coloring until you acheive the desired color. Create as many different colors as you desire. The neon food coloring works great for these hearts. Use a pastry brush to very lightly brush the colored milk all over one side of each of the heart shaped bread slices. Be careful not to oversaturate the bread or your toast will not get very crisp.<br />

<br />
2.) Pour 1-2 tablespoons milk into a small bowl and add 3 drops red food coloring. Add more drops of coloring until you achieve the desired shade of red. Use a fine tip paintbrush to write messages on each of your hearts. The color will bleed if you have too much colored milk on your brush, so shake off excess colored milk before you paint your bread. When you have finished decorating your hearts, toast them in a toaster or toaster oven. You can also place them on a baking sheet and set them under a broiler set at low heat. Broil for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn easily. Serve your toast with your favorite spreads or create a conversation heart sandwich.<br />
