Valentine Party Treats & Sweets~
A Little Birdie Told Me... No. 55

"I still love to kiss you goodnight
The thrill of you holding me tight
Grows ever sweeter, the long years between
Since first I kissed you when we were sixteen
I still love the touch of your lips
I can't get too much of your lips
I know when your hair is snowy white
I'll still love to kiss you goodnight"
"I Love You" ~ Bing Crosby

    I made Snickers for a friend's birthday, but these would be great tucked into kids' Valentine treat bags, too. Enjoy.

    I definitely want to plan a fun V-day party this year. I get the best ideas from you. I know my daughter would adore making your luv bugs...and I want to make almost everything I see you make. You're so crafty...I love it. (I know some people don't like to be called crafty...so I apologize if you are one of them!)

    I had forgotten Valentine's Day was getting so near! The time is really flying again this year. There's some great inspiration in your features, and in some of the links this week. I'm looking forward to visiting them. I've shared my Favourite Cake Recipes from 2011 from my blog this week. Thank you for hosting, Jenn!
