My Valentine's days for the last few years have consisted of flowers, fLowERs, and more FLOWers! This year I decided I didn't want to miss out on this holiday of lOVe and have been celebrating early! Today you get to see what Valentines I sent to missionaries and the cookies that went in my family Valentine packages....
{Playing Card Valentines}
This year I used playing cards and Alice in Wonderland clip art to create my Valentines!
You can find the Alice in Wonderland clip art here.
I used clever card and poker inspired sayings to match the number on the face side.

{Conversation Heart Cookies}
I loved this idea from Martha Stewart! My grandma and I made them last week to send in our Valentine's packages to family.
Instead of using Martha's cookie recipe I used one that ChaNGeD my life! Brit gave me this recipe a few years ago and it is my fAVorITe.

After the cookies are baked they need to be frosted with the following Royal Icing. We found out that the original recipe made WAY too much, so below I have cut it down to the correct amount.
Royal Icing
Royal Icing
- 1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 5 tablespoons meringue powder (I used egg white powder)
- 1/2 cup water
You have the best creative craftiness!
