You know what I did differently this year? I did my kids’ Valentines early. Instead of rushing to Target at 7PM on February 13th and elbowing through crowds of crabby parents looking for the last box of Star Wars Valentines because apparently none of us could be bothered to pick up a box of Valentines …
I love candy hearts. Mostly, eating them. But it seems I’ve also made a bunch of fun DIY candy heart craft projects, as evidenced here, here, and here (geez…Necco needs to give me a job, y’all!). They’re just so fun and easy to use, and basically all you have to do is glue them to something …

Making wreaths can be a bit time consuming, but these particular ones are very simple to make. You can use a variety of media to create your wreath including conversation candy hearts, cupcake liners, ribbon, and even tissue …
