Valentine Crafts

January 29, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 20 Comments

During this week, I have been busy and have been enjoying my last week of holidays. 🙁

Today I tried out the recipe for Candy Cane Syrup from Storybook Woods. It turned out well and I am planning on serving it on some ice cream for dessert tonight. It would also work well poured on a chocolate cake or in a milkshake. 

I have decoupaged a wooden heart and “S” for my bedroom. I am going to place them on my pin up board. 

My friend and I have made some Valentines Day tea lights. We got the idea from The Shabby Nest via One Pretty Thing.

    The Candy Cane syrup looks yummy! I wonder if it’s any good on pancakes…

    I also love the decoupage job you did. It looks really professional!

    Love the sound of your syrup just yum for a sugar loving person like me.

    Your S and heart have come up wonderful and I am sure they will add some great touches to your room. I have been helping Brooke with hers.
