Valentine Bouquet

How to make a candy bouquet for your sweetie.

First, select a box the size you want and put floral craft foam in the bottom. Cover it with tissue paper.

 Next, put a stuffed animal or toy in the middle of the box.

Attach sticks to the back of candy bars, decorations, small toys, etc with tape.

Tie ribbons onto the sticks.

Begin arranging the treats around the stuffed animal by inserting the sticks into the foam.

Add tissue paper.

Wrap the bouquet with clear, cellophane gift wrap.

Finally, tie it up with a pretty bow!

This is a great gift for anyone! It's easy and inexpensive to make. Try it for a birthday gift too.

Working in the Garden

I finally found time to start my garden. I decided to begin in a new spot. First, I had to till the ground.

Then, I scooped "fertilizer" from the barn.

I had lots of help from my friends.

I spread the fertilizer over the whole area.

I will need to till it again before I can plant the onions.

What about you? Do you like to garden? What are your favorite things to plant?

Lipstick Art

You may have to kiss and tell if you're going to wear lipstick like this!

These are all so cute. I think my favorite is the hippo. What about you? Which do you like best?
