Sweet Hearts

Use leftover candy canes from Christmas to make Hearts! Put the two canes facing eachother on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until slightly melted and they stick in a heart shape. Size of cane will depend on how long to bake.
Now you can make a valentine card, hang from a window like a sun catcher, or do whatever your imagination tells you to!

My Collections!

Over the weekend, we had lots of talks about who in this family has a collection. Looks like we all do! I have more than one collection.
My favorite is my gift card collection. They are used, of course. But I have already collected about 50 of them. I get them from other people or the stores and I even get them in the mail.













I also collect Cabbage Patch Dolls. I have 10 now, I think. One was my Grandmothers, she got one when my mother started collecting them. And one was my mothers. But the rest of them are all mine.
My mom started collecting Angels for me when I was born (I am her Angel and she collects Princess stuff for Sara)and she has gave me the collection of things so far, porcelin dolls, figures, stuffed bear angels, etc.
