I hope my husband isn't reading this blog today. What are the chances? If you know him keep it a secret pretty please. This is pretty much my little vday gesture for him.
I made homemade skor bar.
Adapted from this recipe on health on the run, these are actually simple to make and will impress your honey if you want a last minute DIY valentines day gift. All you need is brown sugar, butter, crackers and semi sweet chocolate. For the full recipe click "read more" below.
I used some of their suggested toppings, pecans, butterscotch chips and coconut.
After the chocolate has been cooled, break the pieces, arrange neatly and wrap in foil for a rustic packaging look. Fold the sides in neatly.
Download this label (don't worry it is not too heartsy or pink) and wrap it around your foil package. Stick it in your honey's lunch bag for an amazing mid-day treat. They'll come home in a good mood and maybe even save you a piece.
If your not sick of eating all the pieces that "broke".
Oh! And add a personal handwritten note. If you want.
 
 
Two more days until 2012 and another little printable gift for you. It's a champagne bottle label PLUS a way to make your new year party memorable. In the white space you can have everyone who is celebrating together sign their name, or write a resolution--as long as it's short.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This past weekend was the gift fair I participated in. This year I decided to do sugar cookies. They make great kris kringle gifts and stocking stuffers. I did a gold and white scheme throughout.

The lighting was pretty terrible but here is my table:
Of course cupcakes were there. Chocolate, peppermint and marble were thrown into the mix, plus I did some coconut flavours (because white went with my theme).
My personal favourite was the box of snowy tree cookies:
Above were the sugar cookies. I made holiday tags for the individual packages and as a treat for you here they are for download. These can be used on those last minute gifts I know you are all scrambling to purchase. You're not alone.

    CHALLENGE ENDED.
    UPDATE/ AUG 30: I was able to maintain this challenge from August 2011 to about March which to me is pretty impressive in itself no? I admit I was getting discouraged and then on AUGUST 1st I WON a contest. I won VIP tickets to a concert. Was it worth a year of this, maybe not, but I still feel victorious :)
