Remember those heart tins that I posted about early last week that I bought from Michael’s for $1.50? Well I finally got around to altering them thanks to Cheryl from God & I on the Railroad Tracks, she left a couple of messages wondering when I was going to finish them! so she pushed me to get my butt in gear to finish them!!! I actually had tried one other time to alter them, but, I didn’t like where it was going so I actually had to throw out a tin! now I have to go buy 1 more since I will be giving these to my kid’s teachers for Valentine’s Day with some yummy chocolate in them.
I used some of Stampin’ Up!’s new rub-ons to put a random saying on them, some glitter and of course some Bella Baubles, love, love these!
I was at Michael’s a couple of days ago & Wilton has party favors in the bucket in heart shapes (like the ones you can buy right now from various companies), they are a bit smaller, but, if you are looking for a whole lotta them you can buy them there using a coupon.
Love, love how these turned out! Have a super weekend everyone!

These are so sweet – even without the chocolate! I love the colors you used, and the baubles loko adorable. Thanks for the tip about Michaels!

here is a little something for you to put in your tins:
Chocolate Covered Peanuts
1 can Planter’s Peanuts
6 squares of melting chocolate (look by the chocolate chips in your grocery store)
melt squares in microwavable bowl for 30 sec at a time
stir to continue melting
place about 1 full can into melted chocolate
stir until all peanuts are coated
drop by teaspoonful onto wax paper
place in your lovely decorated tins!
voila!
I have been making them for years.. .you gotta get good peanuts though- no escaping the good ones!!
