Make It Yourself Monday!

Today I wanted to share with you all some of my Valentine's Day goodies that I have made! 

I put together goodie bags for my fourth graders.  They include a Valentine's pencil, heart shaped crayon (see details below), and Skittles (what kid doesn't love candy?!).  And then to finish off the bags, I put a little heart shaped note on the front that says "You're the WRITE one for me!" Hopefully the fourth grade boys don't take this the wrong way!

To make the heart shaped crayons (idea from Pinterest) you have to peel and brake tonssss of crayons, this is not the fun part, and then melt them into the shape you want... it's really quite easy!

I also baked cupcakes for tomorrow, I figured we could use some sugar while we take our exam during class in the morning!  I tried some new techniques but I still need some practice icing them.  Any suggestions or tips on a better icing to use or how to ice them better would be greatly appreciated!

Well that's it for Make It Yourself Monday!  I have a couple more Valentine's Day goodies to share but I will wait until after tomorrow so I don't risk ruining the surprise!

Have a great Valentine's Day tomorrow!
