Valentine's Advent

So we all know this one, right?  I saw this here and just had to do it for my hubby!  What you do is make 14 cards (I made 16 because I'm starting tomorrow).  On the back, you write an activity you and your spouse can do together that day.  The point is to bring you closer together in an inexpensive way.  There are lots of ideas listed in the link above.  I seriously did all mine in 45 minutes with my baby getting into everything (e.g. spilling modge podge in my carpet).  It's very easy and really fun!


(I was in a hurry, that's why 15 & 14 are in the wrong places.  Oops!)

Have fun crafting!

Cream butter and sugar till smooth.
Add the rest and Mix thoroughly
Drop from teaspoon on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes
When cool...give them a dunking in powdered sugar.
