Yesterday's Pink Post got me all excited for Valentine's Day which is just 3 weeks away. I love Valentine's Day. I love a holiday that celebrates pink and red and all things heart shaped. We'll be cooking, baking and crafting and having some good fun. I'll come up with ideas for Valentines for the kids to take to school. I'm sure I will end up ~~getting suckered into~~ baking or creating something for all three classes. This drives me insane, but I really do enjoy it!

I've found some great Valentine's ideas over the past few days. I can't wait to try these!

How cute are these tea bags? I love this idea.
This is something the kids can easily make and give to their teachers
along with some heart shaped baked treats!
I've already gone ahead and bought a jumbo box of Twinings English Breakfast Tea!

I just adore these little felt shaped heart that have simply been placed over little buttons.
This is a perfect way to make every day clothing a little more festive!
Simply cut out hearts from felt and place a little slit in the middle of the heart, slide over button, et voila!

Aren't these tulips lovely?
Simply place tulips in a small bud jar.
Place bud jar in a larger vase and add the candied hearts!

Or, spice up your flowers by following the same method as above!

How about some White Chocolate Covered Fruit? Some Sweeties for your Sweetie!
I'm all for edible flowers!

I'm all for the simplicity of baking brownies or fudge and decorating them with a small candied heart.
These are simply perfect!

Nothing Says Bite Me like these delectable heart shaped sugar cookies!

Whoopie Pies? Heart Shapes?
Can it really get any better than this?
I think NOT!

(The Whoopie Pie originated in Maine, therefore this is the Perfect Preppy Valentine Treat!)
Perhaps this is what the children will give the teachers with their tea bags...
