That’s Pinterest-ing! Get Creative with Candy

by / Wednesday, 16 January 2013 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION, That's Pinterest-ing!

Each Week we discover interesting topics on “Pinterest” and share them here.  If you are looking for some original and creative ideas for Valentines Day this post is for you!

Food shopping the other day, put me in a creative zone and inspired this post.

As I’m perusing the store, Valentines day candy was everywhere, and It put me in an instant Valentines Day mood, suddenly my creative juices where on steroids.

I began associating the food with quirky sweetheart messages.  Here’s what I mean:

Peanuts….I’m nuts over you

Sugar……I’m sweet on you

Eggs…..You’re such an eggs-cellent hubby, lover, friend, dad, partner

Honey…..I’m glad you’re my honey

Candy fish….of all the fish in the sea, you chose me

Then when I came to the candy aisle…..I really got carried away!

I love our bliss-ful moments

You are a Good man and that suits me Plenty

Your Kiss is magic

Your Hugs are the best

You’re my Hot tamale

You’ve got my Heart

You’re a blessing to me Now and I look forward to our future  Later 

Okay so some are a little sappy, but you get the message.

I was on a roll and I couldn’t stop!

Here’s to hoping you find some inspiration in these little messages to create some of your own.

Since I was in the Valentines Day Spirit.  I thought of a cool project to do with pillow cases.  So I bought 2, along with some fabric paint and created this.

I call it a  “HEART TO HEART” pillow to encourage pillow talks, or heart to hearts, or to introduce the dreadful  “honey we need to talk” moment, you know the one that makes our men want to run the other way?

And here’s how it looked on the bed

Bring your favorite bubbly and chocolate dipped strawberries to the conversation and the “heart to heart” just might go more smoothly. 🙂

Now for the cool things I found for you on Pinterest this week!

Here’s a cute heart wreath from theidearoomblog.  check out the pin here and learn how to make it.
