This is me with my Valentine's Day gifts from Mom and Dad. They actually gave me a gift card to Hobby Lobby (oh how I miss it) and I went shopping! The red thing is a glass plate that I put on my coffee table to hold the cards and spare Hershey Hugs. The Love sign is hanging on my bedroom door, and the little frogs are in my bathroom. It is about to get a princess makeover, so I thought the frogs would fit in well.
Mom and Dad with their Valentine's gifts from me. I always give the gift of food. LOL.
Another of my Hobby Lobby finds. Chris, this is my answer to Planet Lo-Carb vs. Planet Porky.
Gift number one for my parents - and I'm making more later this week - probably for work. They are the long skinny pastry like cookies dipped in a chocolate/peanut butter mixture and covered with chopped peanuts.
And gift number two - which turned out almost exactly like the magazine picture. A brownie - with many embellishments. :)

Oooh! Those look good. No wonder your parents are smiling!
They love it when I try out new recipes!
You've been quite the busy little baker! Emily got her package in the mail today...what a sweet surprise!
She (and Andrew and I) thank you for the cookies and Em's little goody bag.
By the way, I just spent about 2 hours baking sugar cookies for Emily's class v-day party tomorrow. Now, I need to decorate. Why do I not just buy cookies?
Cookies? I want cookies? Ummmmm.
Oh well, back to working out.
WOW that was FAST! I just mailed that yesterday! I figured she could use some mail. Everyone loves mail, right??
You don't buy cookies because you're too much like me! Gotta make em! :) But you know what...my friend Marie works in public school, and she told me that at their school, moms aren't allowed to bring homemade stuff for birthdays. It has to come sealed. How sad is that??? That was the best part of school birthday parties. The treats people's moms made!
Tsofah - Oh I absolutely work out to afford my cookie addiction. :) And I still can't REALLY afford it, but you know.
Yeah, I have heard of a lot of schools only allowing pre-packaged treats. Em's preschool (so far) doesn't seem to care. They very much encourage parent participation and thus far I've brought cupcakes for Em's b-day, helped with the Thanksgiving dinner and now V-day. I'm taking a break for a while after this!
Oh, and did I mention that I also had to find a craft for tomorrow? Yeah, I didn't know about that part when I signed up. I'm NOT crafty. So I'll be trying out the little kit I bought at Michael's and doing some of the harder parts of it ahead of time, to make it easier tomorrow. Fun night ahead.
Well, although I love crafts...crafting with preschoolers en masse might push me to my limit. Is it a big group? YOU CAN DO IT, GIRL!!!!!
This is totally unfair of you to taunt me like this!
Happy Valentines Day
