Planner Makeover
This is my monthly one.
It is a day minder and is very inexpensive.
I am redesigning the pages month by month.
I did March yesterday and this is how it turned out!
I love decorating and although there are expensive planners which are really nice, I already bought a weekly one at Ross for $4.99 last fall and I like it, so I just redesign that one...and this one was given to me..so no need for another one.
A planner doesn't have to be expensive..you can make it your own.
I will show you more of my planner page ideas and I will even show you how and where to get supplies!
Thanks for stopping by!

Chocolate Covered Valentines Day Marshmallows!
Cake pops and Chocolate Covered Marshmallows.
Not just any cake pops though...these..
I can't remember where I got the original from..
but this is similar, if not the same.
Cake pops:
Above link will give you the recipe..
But it pretty much says:
You need:
1 box cake mix (devils is good)
1 container frosting (vanilla is yummy)
Recipe calls for candy melts I like almond bark.
Sprinkles (optional)
1.Bake cake and allow completely to cool.
2. Crumble cake and mix with about 3/4 of the frosting container.
3. roll mixture into balls (or desires shape as small or big as you want)
about 2in is good.
4. Add lollipop sticks/straws
5. Put cake balls on wax/aluminum sheet to harden in freezer.
6. Melt Almond bark (start with 1/2 package then melt more if needed)
7. Drizzle the chocolate with a spoon to cover cake pop. (dipping makes the
chocolate a mess)
8. Sprinkle immediately.
9. Lay on sheet to dry in freezer.
Marshmallows:
You will need:
Marshmallows (i got hearts for Valentine's) Campfire size is good
8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
Sprinkles
Paper straws or lollipop sticks
1. Cut straws in half (if you use straws, that's what I had at home)
2. Put the straw/ lollipop stick through the marshmallow, almost all the way so
it doesnt fall over.
3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler (i just do it in the pot), but if you don't use a
double boiler make sure to keep stirring.
4. Put the flame on very low while you dip the marshmallows in the chocolate
to partially coat. Get creative with this. Make it how you want it to look.
5. Sprinkle the marshmallows right away so the sprinkles stick to wet chocolate.
6. Let harden. About 4 hours, or speed it up in the fridge.
7. Store in fridge in a plastic bag for freshness.
Package how you like.
I put them in plastic goodie bags with baker's twine and a handmade tag.
Have fun and be creative.
