Valentines Prep..

Instead of dwelling on why I haven't blogged since < insert ridiculous amount of time here > , let's just get on to this week. I was recently in a car accident in January so the doctor has put me on limited work duties, giving me limited time at work, and rest at home. When I'm feeling up to it I craft and do housework. 
This week was v-day prepping. 
I managed to make a 2 layer guava cake! yay! 

Before Gel topping.. 

With gel topping..

Inside!
We had this cake to celebrate the Lunar (Chinese New Year)..

I made some shaker cards for my favorite kiddos...

I made mini shaker valentine's cards for a few of my co-workers...

And helped the kiddos with their valentine's goodies.
Anthony gave out what we will call "knock you silly" brownies for his friends...

Brownies all wrapped up and ready to go.. 

Sami gave out friendship bracelets... 

These were a simple design print & cut on the silhouette. 

Valentine's Day turned out to be a pretty awesome day. The hubs and I changed it up, and instead of our usual Napa trip, we went hiking up to Mission Peak in beautiful Fremont California. We had a cute little picnic at the top, and headed down. Made it home, showered, and went out for a great lobster, shrimp & salmon dinner. It was a really nice time. 

The view from Mission Peak..
We made it despite the horrible 50+ mph winds working against us. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

 Hope you all had a great one too, and have an amazing Presidents' Day Weekend!
I'm hoping that I'll get my paint this week so I can start painting & get my craft room finished finally.  When it's all ready, I plan on doing a youtube craft room tour. 
:::keeping fingers crossed:::
