Weekend and crafting....

We had a beautiful weather weekend here in Southern NY!  We were able to get out on the 4-wheelers for a while and have some fun in the snow!    The hubby and I had a date day (long overdue) - went out to lunch and did some Dollar Store Shopping!    I was able to get a few crafts done in between life happening too....here are a few of my newest creations:



Dollar tree frame (painted), background is a folder (Old Navy $ .47 for 3 of them), Roses are actually from Dollar Tree and they are soap!  I hot glue them on and put a sticker on the bottom!


More Dollar Tree stuff I put together!


Simple but makes a statement!

I think I am almost done with all my Valentine decorating and will hopefully be able to put a nice post together showcasing it all!  

Taking the day off school today so I can get February lesson plans all set...so much going on in February!

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.
