Today's Valentines Ideas!
Some dear neighbors threw a fun birthday party for me a couple of weeks ago. At the event, they had different "stations" of some of my favorite things.
I LOVE sugar cookies. So, at one station Cherie got these cool sugar cookies (they are soft with a harder icing):
and we decorating them like this:
You simply take your "love" scrapbooking stamps, dip them in red food coloring, and stamp right on the cookie! We all took a "to go" container of cookies home to our kids. So much fun!
We also had glitter put on our toes.
This is so simple to do at home. Buy a top layer of nail clear nail polish and apply it to each toenail. Next, take a fine glitter and sprinkle it over each toe. (Martha stewart has a large set for around $20.00 at Walmart. Make sure you buy really fine glitter.) Brush extra glitter off each toe. Finally, apply a final coat of clear nail polish over the top. So much fun!!!
Until tomorrow, give someone you love a great big hug!

Lisa,
Sounds like you had the best time with good friends. Thanks for all of your wonderful and simple ideas to make the holiday special. Can't wait until your next scrapbook day on the Q. Happy Valentines Day and congrats on the basketball games.

I love their work and have great admiration for you. I always try to buy their kits, but I live in Brazil and the kits arrive here at prices prohibitive, a pity! when you can visit my Blog http://neusinhafusco.blogspot.com and know more about the work done here in Brazil. Kisses with much affection.
Go Collin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice toes, too ;)
How fun! I love the cookies; what a cute idea. I have to surprise my kids with those, esp. since my daughter loves those candy hearts with the messages on them.
The glitter toes look adorable; another fun idea that I will have to remember and possibly use at my daughter's 14th bday party.
THanks for sharing!
I love the curtain rod idea from yesterday and those cookies look delish...any idea where I can find the icing recipe? I've never had luck with it. Thank you.
Fun cookies! Now there's taking your supplies to the next level. LOL
Love the glitter toenails too!
Have fun at the game.
Congratulations, Collin!! Cute toe nails!
I love to read all your great tips. I started to do the smoothies in the mornings, great idea. Good luck with the basketball game. Sherry :)
I would love to get that icing recipe also! Those cookies are so cute!
Lisa,
Looks like a FUN time had by all!! Good luck Collin. I love RIVAL games!!

Good luck Collin! Happy belated to Lisa! I am going to have to try that sugar cookie idea. Too cute!
Yummy! Valentines would not be the same without large heart shaped sugar cookies!
Miss yoU!
The cookies look yummy! Thanks for sharing how to put the glitter on our toes! I hope you had a great birthday!
Your birthday sounds like it was wonderful and I love the foot photo! How fun!
would love if you shared the cookie and icing recipe! they look awesome!
My friend actually made the cookies but she used an icing recipe instead of a frosting recipe. Icing hardens into a shiny glaze.
I've never tried this recipe but hopefully it will work:
Vanilla icing for cookies or pound cake
Ingredients:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sift before measuring
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, soft
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
Preparation:
Combine all icing ingredients in small mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well blended. Adjust for spreading consistency if necessary, adding more milk or more confectioners' sugar. Spread icing or drizzle on warm cookies or pound cake.
Thank you Lisa! I'll try it for some treats this weekend.
Lisa, I am so glad that you put the instructions for the glitter toes on here. I have been wondering about that. It is easier than I thought.
Thanks.
