Hand-made Valentines treats for my sweets!

You girls know my Achilles Heel is and will forever be SUGAR! I love it so. Such an easy place to inspire some love for my Valentine creations!! I was recently given a big luscious bag of pastel Jordan Almonds from my mom theyve always been a favorite the mere scent of them takes me back to my childhood with my French grandmother, Lucy. I fancied them up with cellophane favor bags, paper heart doilies ribbon and a hand-made tag. Over-the-top fabulous And so quick!!! This will be the first of many that I create for all the lovelies in my life this Valentines Day Looks like I flew to Belgium and brought these back from a little boutique patisserie shop.

Be inspired to take something that you adore and to add a little extra flavor ala you. It can be anything

* Gumdrops in a parchment bag tied with a scrap of silk and a beloved photo as the tag. How charming!!

* Sour patch kids (my personal favorite) in a petite canning jar The top lid can be embellished with a simple monogram. Mouthwatering, I know!!!

* A big bundle of licorice (Im hopelessly addicted to RED VINES) tied up with something pretty and left on a doorstep or pillow. Hows that for a little sweet love!!!

* A few cookies on a little antique plate wrapped in crisp cellophane and a dash of sparkle (ribbons, strings, yarn)

Let us know your favorite candies and how youll be fancying them up this Valentines Day!! Kisses, hugs, be mine, my hearts 4 U, sweet talk and all that wonderfulness!!! xoxoxoxoxo, T
