Every place I have been to this week is filled with hearts, candy, treats, and all things red and pink. I figured I better get into the Valentine’s spirit a little bit and bake some of my kids favorite cookies. A few years ago I went to a Valentine’s cookie exchange and this Red Velvet Cookie recipe was the cookie the kids requested be made again. The cookies are so yummy and actually very versatile…these also work well for Christmas, just use different color sprinkles!
Well, it is that time of year again ♥ Valentine’s Day ♥. It always creeps up on me and I am running to the store at the last minute looking for those little cards to send into the classroom and all that is left is organic healthy snacks or fun dip. So, I end up on Pinterest frantically trying to find something easy but cute to make. This year is a little bittersweet for me. It is my last classroom Valentine’s day party. My youngest will be in middle school next year and it is just not cool anymore to give cards, I guess. According to my daughter she will just have a real Valentine next year…Yikes!!!
This year for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to add a Modern twist to my decor. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different from the traditional red, pink and hearts but also, still stay true to the holiday’s fun, flirty style. I did a background of black and white, with pops of color using mostly pink and green. Then added lots of unique, easy and creative DIY’s that everyone can do. Also, remember it’s all about the details! If you look careful at all the pictures the final touches really finish off each space! 😉
