Quick Valentine projects

Us kids make our parents Valentines every year, and this year, I went with a fun (thought definitely not original) and quick way to package the goodies. :)

I picked up some super cute mini glassine bags at Stamp Fanci, and went to work.
Here's my Mom's (she loves to garden, so the Garden Variety stamp and die set were perfect for her!) - and for the Moxie Fab World die cut challenge.

A pretty flower from a Valentine K&Company die cut pack I bought last year...

Some hand-dyed ribbon using a different formula than I usually use - I'm thinking of adding this to the shoppe...what do you think?

Some removable adhesive keeps the seed card/Valentine in place, and this is what it looks like if you turn it around..

Cookie!

And now for my Dad's..

The train is a nod to my Dad's dad, who was a railroad worker.

Some fun bakers twine I got on sale..

Little story behind the 'stashe - whenever my Mom was pregnant, my Dad would always wear a mustache, and only shaved it off after we were born. Now that my oldest sister is pregnant, he's working on some sort of mustache/bottom chin beard...thing...;)

Modeling one of the eyeglass cookies I made...(sorry for the poor picture - I was just messing around with my youngest brother - I have some hilarious pics of him, but am going to keep them to family :))

I'll have the recipe for these cookies (plus some pictures) tomorrow or the day after. :)

I hope you enjoyed the pics, and have a blessed day!
