Last Minute Valentine's

Imagine this scene....I've just climbed
into a hot bath to relax for the evening
when my 10 yr. old knocks on my bathroom door.
"Mom, sorry I forgot to tell you, but we are
having our Valentine's Party at school tomorrow.
Can you help me make some Valentine's?"
So much for my 5 minutes of relaxation!
* Jason's out of town
* I helped a friend who's moving
clean her house today & I felt dirty
* I never get to enjoy my jacuzzi tub
* I'm raising 3 kids (need I go on?)

Sorry for the gross out picture of me in the
tub, but it helps set the stage for the story! :0)
Luckily, I found this idea last year, so
I was prepared with after-Christmas-clearance
candy canes. Mini ones to be exact.

You heat them up at 300 degrees
for about 5 minutes, then carefully
smoosh the ends together with the
backs of two spoons.

Easy peasy!
Not bad for a last minute Valentine's
party that is 4 days early!

Sequins instead of ribbon. :0P
Hey, you make due, right!?!
