I miss the days when my boys were little and we could sit and create special treats for their friends and classmates. Since I am still a few years away from grandchildren (no pressure boys!) I have to live vicariously through other peoples children and borrow a crafty young helper every now and then. This was a stamp camp project last month but I made up a few extras to keep on my desk for when the boss' kids stop by.
I have a serious addiction to all things white chocolate and peppermint so when I found these Christmas M&M's at my local CVS on sale for 75% off I grabbed every bag they had left. I'm sure the guy that rang me up was wondering what I was going to do with 8 bags of peppermint M&M's, LOL!
Who says peppermint is only for Christmas? The red and white candies are the perfect combination for Valentines Day and they are a perfect fit for our 1x8 cello bags. They are a little chunkier than regular M&M's so it is a bit of a tight squeeze but if you just keep feeding the bag from the top and don't try to push them down they will cooperate nicely.
A little tag topper with a cute little bear from the Bear Hugs set (from the Occasions Catalog) and my treats were almost ready to go. He is holding a heart that is as big as he is but I think my little Valentines will appreciate the sentiment!
That's all for today, thanks for stoppin' by!
