Let's have a "Conversation"......






about "HEARTS."




Has Valentine's Day got you in a quandary ?








Express your love with Conversation Heart petit fours.












Roll, cut and stamp.

I've put together labeled boxes where I store my brushes, rubber stamps along with other supplies that are used solely for foodie fun.
The last thing you want is to see your (foodie) stamps and brushes filled with dried up paint or ink.



Brush Pearl Dust across each word.



My Conversation Heart petit fours measured around two inches.
I must confess..... I did sample a couple, they were just too irresistible!






As for the wrapping......I'm going enlarge an image of the conversation heart box, then print it on card stock and
glue the print to the lid of the gift box.
If I'm feeling ambitious, I may cut the center of the heart to create a window.
I'm using mini cupcake liners for the petit fours,
but still deciding about packing them in the box with pastel tissue or with my latest addiction...crimped paper shreds.
Trimmed with either a pastel or Valentine themed ribbon.

These could be used for cupcake toppers or a banner to decorate your mantel. The possibilities are endless. Let me know what you create with them.

I have always loved these sweetheart candies. This is a darling idea, because I have also always loved petit fours. I have a glass hurricane that I fill with the sweetheart candies with a pillar candle in the center on my coffee table. The petit fours would look lovely sitting next to it on a pretty plate...hmmm

Hey Sara. I just came by to see how your doing and I see you're doing just fine. What a wonderful job on the petit fours. I have loved the thought of those little cakes since I was a little girl. And now you've made it look so easy and doable. I'm sure it's more work than I can imagine. How smart of you, I would have never thought of stamping the words. Too, Too Cute!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Hugs and Happy Valentines Day...Tracy :)

Sara, these little fondant treats turned out so cute! Very creative ideas!
Dipping them in the almond bark first was a great idea. I'm impressed with the soft colors you achieved.
I've got the pearl dust & the almond bark in the house, but I don't have the impression letter kit yet. I'm on the hunt!!

Thanks for stopping by the Gazebo & leaving such nice comments.

Hi Sara! I love the idea of using stamps for food. Why haven't I ever thought of that. I didn't even know about that pearl 'dust', but I sure have plenty of the real kind. LOL! You've inspired a trip to Michael's today. I think I'll see if they have an V-day stamps @ 50% off. Thanks for the sweet comments you left on my blog. I'm glad you got to spend time with your son, DIL & friend. I have another friend out on the west coast who said the same thing re the weather. I guess it was our turn this year. I still have snow on my deck from 2+ weeks ago, which is way unusual for here. Have a great week. I'm going to go mark this post on my 'favorites' list so I can remember everything. (That's what happens after 40!)

Falling into Fall........

October has brought a definite chill to the air, putting me in a decorating mood. As you've come to know from visiting my blog, I love exploring new ideas for taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Which I accomplish through the inspiration provided by visiting your lovely blogs. Nothing says "FALL" like these... PUMPKINS! The versatility of pumpkins in any fall decor is endless. I've only got one problem... sometimes the pumpkins can start to look a little sad before the seasons end. (Natalie Maynor's photo) Violet Skiles has the perfect solution! Pumpkin Toppers Flowers, leaves, pearls, frame charm .....what more could you ask for? Reusable, perhaps? Yes they are! Violet has a beautifully illustrated tutorial at her blog for creating your own Pumpkin Topper . Please stroll on over for a visit. She's just as charming as her art! **************************************************** T...

She knows we have to say goodbye....

Angel laid on my chest and filled my face with kitty kisses. Trying to give me enough of them to ease my pain and hopefully carry me through in her absence. Our time is fleeting. How I wished I could turn back the clock. When I look at her I can't convey to her the the love I have, or how great this loss is to me. Especially how I'll miss her everyday. Angel always loved blogging, more so putting in her opinion. She has been my constant companion through my darkest hours and has brought my greatest delights for 16 years. As my dear friend said to me..."they're the ones we whisper our greatest fears to." "We have a big favor to ask of you." My circle of family and friends is very tiny here, so finding solace can be distant. This is where I'm reaching out to you. I know you understand with all your heart what these furry companions mean to us. I would like to compile a scrapbook with all your comments. Whether your a pet owner or just a lover...

Yes Virginia, Christmas has come early!

It's finally happened! My camera has closed it's shutter for the last time. No need for tears... CAUSE I'M JUMPIN' FOR JOY! "Get your boots on Virginia, were goin' camera shopin'." Although my camera isn't as old as the one pictured here...it certainly felt like it at times, especially without a macro option (that word has become music to my ears). It's quite possible I've paid the equivalent of two new cameras with all the batteries purchased over the course of time. For any of you that have stock in Duracell batteries..."you're welcome." If I were to leave the selection of my new camera up to my family... I've no doubt this is what they'd pick out. "Holy macro " just think what I could capture in a single shot... Wow, that would be one hard flash dot to shake from your retinas. I'd be the envy of every paparazzi in Hollywood. Due to the demise of my camera... I wasn't able to bring you all my ...
