My boys needed something good for Valentine's day!

So, I decided to make this:

Click photo or this LINK  for the original or see below for my version

The stars of our show:

24 Oreos crushed in blender or a ziploc bag using a rolling pin.

All crushed and ready for butter!

4T melted butter

Add to crushed oreos, stir well.

I decided to make individual ones, so I used a muffin pan and my tart press.

Press down firmly.

Bake 350* for 7 min.

Set aside.

3/4 c peanut butter

1/2 c powdered sugar

Put into a sauce pan on medium heat.

Mix well until peanut butter is melted and smooth.

Cool for about 5min

Add 1/2 c chopped Reese's cups.

Mix well.

Stir in 2 1/2c of cool whip

Put on top of cookie crust

Freeze for 3hrs

ENJOY!!!

Valentine's Day Box

My daughter wanted to hollow out an old book for her Vday box

Need:

Old book

scissors

ruler

pencil

I wasn't sure how to go about this...so I made up my own way. I am sure there is a MUCH easier way...but hey, it worked!! :)

I bent over a few pages at a time, drew lines of where I wanted to cut. I used the width of the ruler.

Then I cut a bit on the bent/folded part, unbent the page and cut. 

I continued until I had it as deep as she wanted it:

Then she decorated the cover:

Happy Valentine's day!

Anthro Knock off...sort of!

Here is the original that I LOVE:

Click the photo to see the webpage with the original. 

And here is my version.

I used a 14" x 2" piece of scrap material, cut three slits almost to the top

 Tightly braid the three pieces. I taped one end to my table and braided it. 

Below is the clasp I used. 

 I threaded the braid 1/2 way through one 1/2 of the clasp with the lobster claw clasp.

Keeping the braid folded in half, I took the smaller part of the clasp and threaded the loose ends through. Folding the fabric over the straight part of the clasp, I then sewed it together. 

I then took some wire and wrapped around the sewed part to hold it together better and just because I liked how it looked!

Finished.
