Sending out hearts of Love

We LOVE Valentine's Day!!
Not only is it a day to tell everyone you love them, it is also my mother-in-law's birthday.
So, we get to celebrate two times over.

Our menu was wonderful (if I do say so myself!)

THE TABLE

Of course, Valentine's Day is ALL about ROSES!!!!
For an extra special touch, I channeled
Martha Stewart for a Rose Petal Napkin Fold



I was pleased with how the table turned out!



Party Favors
Drizzle Popcorn
(Number 8)
How about the Party Favors????
Yummy!!

This is how we did it....


We made popcorn and lighty salted the popcorn. We then added peanuts and
red, pink, and white MMs and drizzled melted chocolate. Once the chocolate dried,
we broke up the pieces and stored them until the party the next day.

Using a small plastic party favor bag, we put a few peices of the popcorn and tied with a pink ribbon.

Try it, it was wonderful!!!!

Happy Cooking!!!
Laura
