DIY Valentine Gifts for classmates and friends

We are 1 month until Valentine's Day! (love me some fun holidays)!

To refresh you all, I am challenging myself this year to a strict budget of $ 10 for our homeschool holiday parties (of course this does not include birthday). For our upcoming Valentine's Day party I was able to make something that cost us nothing.

Heart Shaped Valentine Crayons

Aren't they cute!

Here is how we created them...

Took all our broken crayon pieces that I have been saving

(there is still time for you to save them)

and put them into Silicone heart shaped cupcake cups

(which are honestly not my favorite to bake with but great for making soap and crayons)

Set oven to 250 degrees...

Zachary is learning about RESPECT for the oven and how to

properly use it.

Here is what they looked like all melted (about 15 mins)

I set ours out on the deck to set up...once set (about 30 mins)

I popped them out of the molds...and there you have it...

I found this FREE Goodie Bag printable over at Shindig Parties to go!

Catch My Party

is where you can also download an entire Valentine Party for FREE!

OH Happy Day and Happy Budget!

BIG THANK YOU to Jillian at Catch My Party for

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
