DIY Project #10: Valentine Candy & Love Note Muffins
Posted by Cathy Heck
Shhhh. This is a secret. Don’t tell Margaret, but this will be her surprise on Valentine’s morning. Every year on Valentine’s Day, the girls wake up to some kind of totally-decadent non-healthy, sugar-filled surprise … a little bit like Christmas stockings, only all red and pink. This year, we only have one girl at home, and she will actually be playing in a soccer tournament on Valentine’s weekend, so when she gets home from all that sweaty fun, this pile of sugar will be waiting for her. (Makes your teeth ache just looking at it, doesn’t it?)
You might like to create a similar present for your favorite little Valentines this year. Big Valentines love it, too! This is a very EASY project, with a nice big wow effect for the recipient. With the little Love Note Flags that fly over each muffin tin, you can make it very personalized. You can even make it healthy, with tins full of granola, nuts and fruit … naaahh. Just go for the gusto. It’s Valentine’s Day!

What a sweet idea! My boys would LOVE this!

Knowing your daughter, I can already hear the squeals of pleasure as she tastes one after the other!

This is a wonderful idea! We’d almost decided not to do anything for our three boys for Valentine’s Day this year, but you may have changed my mind. :) How cute!

it would be super cute if the tags related to the contents. Like “You’re RED HOT!” with red hots or “you’re such a smarty pants” with the candy smarties
