*Have a Cookie, Have a Heart*



I found this really really cute idea over at Martha Stewart.
This super cute wrapping would be just adorable for wrapping home-made goodies for your Valentine wouldn't it? Making something delicious and yummy into something extra special for the love filled day.



Heart-Covered Waxed Paper How-To

Fold a piece of tissue paper in half three times, forming eight layers.
Using a heart-shaped craft punch, cut out hearts.
Cover the surface of an ironing board with paper towels; place a sheet of waxed paper on top. Arrange hearts on waxed paper, and cover with another sheet of waxed paper.
Cover with more paper towels.
Run an iron, set to medium heat, lightly over the layers to set.

It really does sound so simple to do doesn't it but looks so adorable.
A lovely idea for giving a little something something to family & friends too this Valentines Day.
Oh that Ms Martha, she really is the queen of all things homely & wonderful isn't she? *sigh*
