Valentine's Day School Party on a $ 10 budget

Happy Valentine's Day School Party!

Today's Party was changed at the last minute from our home
to the home of the other HSing family that joined us....





The kids got to dip strawberries...



I made push pops this morning with Hershey Kisses on top.




We finally got to give away our Heart Crayons we made. 



Always a little time for dress up!







Be Blessed!


Once again on my quest to only have a $ 10 budget for a school party...I have DONE IT!

DECOR and PAPER PRODUCTS:
I had paper products left over from last years' party so cost this year was ZERO for them. I did buy a new table cloth at the Dollar Tree.  I had all decorations left over from years' past, so nothing was new this year. Cost: $ 1.00

FAVORS:
For my favors I made homemade heart shaped crayons and downloaded a FREE Printable from Shindig Parties to Go for the goodie bag topper.  To make the crayons I used broken crayons from the children's school crayon boxes, broke them into smaller pieces and put those pieces into a heart shapped silocone cupcake cup, baked at 250 until melted, cooled and then bagged 'em up! Cost: $ 0.00


FOOD:
Lunch: Pasta with red sauce, a salad .  Our friends supplied the fruit and carrots for the kids. Made for less than $ 1 a person! (8 of us ate)  Treats: Made push pops cupcakes and frosted.  (already had both items in the pantry) Cost $ 8.00

CRAFTS:
The craft was the painting pages and those I got on sale at Michaels Crafts for $ 1.00 for all 8 of them.  Cost: $ 1.00

I will make sure that I seek out some deep discounted Valentine's Day items at Target and CVS after the holiday also!

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
