Gavin's Valentine's Day cards

Gavin wanted to make his friends heart shaped crayons. So that is what we did for his friends. 

 Peeling the wrappers off of crayons isn't as easy as I remember it being when I was a kid.
I preheated the oven to 250. We used ice cube molds from the dollar spot at Target then lined a cookie sheet with foil in case they melted like they did to my friend. I figured for $2 it would be easier than cleaning a muffin tin. It took about 7 - 10 minutes for the crayons to melt.


 I made some cards that said "You color my heart happy!"


 I  had to make some for my fellow Tennessee fans that said "Happy VOLentine's Day!"

Unfortunately I sprayed the molds so my glue dots were not sticking very well.  I wrapped them in treat bags and taped the backs. It would have been cute to put To: and From: heart shaped stickers on the back but maybe next time.
