Valentine's Day is coming soon!

Happy February 1st, Super Mommies!

I hope you Super Mommy's are counting down with me. If you arent doing the LOVE scriptures tree or the Silly Socks Valentine Advent, here is another adorable countdown to try.  My SIL, Jen, made this for me last year.

Box of Chocolates Valentines Day Countdown

1.First, find a candy box with the amount of chocolate spaces in it that you want.  Then, eat the chocolates! Yum!

2.Tint the glass cubes with Alcohol Ink. She used the color "latte."

3. Punch out brown cardstock and modge podge to glass cube, (with the brown facing in) so that you can see the brown through the glass cube.

4.  Print out list of countdown ideas and punch out, same size as brown, and modge podge on the bottom of cube so that you can read the idea when you turn over the cube (there is a good list at the link on the bottom of this post).

5. Decorate cubes with scribbles 3D paint to look like the tops of Valentine chocolates.

6. Put fake chocolates in candy box flip one over each day until Valentine's Day

Jen says "I found the original idea for this here: http://www.somewhatsimple.com/2010/01/countdown-to-valentines-day.html I just tweaked it a little bit."

Have a Happy Valentines Day with your families, Everyone!

  5. I love this idea and planned to do it this Valentine's...unfortunately, I left the supplies on the counter for a few minutes unattended. I was using chocolate-scented soap meant to look like chocolates instead of the glass cubes. My husband got a huge bite full of soap in his mouth and I'm afraid it will take him a long time to get over it!!
