Valentine Cookie Decorating

in Celebrations, Crafts & DIY, Edible Food Crafts, Valentine's Day

Looking for a cute way to make Valentine’s Day more special with the kids? Put together a little Valentine Cookie Decorating station to surprise them after school or the weekend!

This is actually an idea that didn’t start how I planned it. I PLANNED to have a Galentine’s Day brunch with a few local friends who I thought could sneak away for a long lunch on a Tuesday when Derek was at work. I really wanted to put my new House of Party Shimmer Panels to good use, but sadly Hailey got a 24 hour stomach bug and I had to canceled.

Attempt 2 to use this fun shimmer background (that was already up in my dining room!) was to do a Valentine Cookie Decorating session for both girls, but Brielle woke up that morning not feeling 100% so I stepped in and had some one on one time with my little one.

Before I get into the cookie recipes we used and fun we had, let me share more about these awesome reusable shimmer panels I was gifted by House of Party.

I now have one set of their new panel system (the white gold seen above for this Valentine cookie decorating setup) and the old panel system (which I won from an instagram giveaway and used for the girls’ birthday setup while on vacation last summer) and here’s what you need to know:

  • Both shimmer wall panels are acrylic bases with little pins holding the shimmer pieces on. They are “pre assembled” so you don’t need to put all the little shimmer pieces in. Of the two styles, the new panel system pieces are lighter in weight and more flexible!
  • Both styles are indoor or outdoor use! Outdoor allows for more shimmer with the light wind effeect.
  • The older panels attach together with zip ties, which come with the kit for your initial use, however, you’ll need to invest in new zip ties for future setups. The new panel system includes X and I shaped plastic clips to attach them together making them completely reusable!
  • You CAN mix and match new and old panels together color wise, however you’d need to use zip ties since the old panels don’t have the same holes for the new clips.
  • I used 35 panels (of the 36 piece set) in my setup as I had a 5×7 arrangement.

Now onto the cookies! Valentine’s Cookie Decorating Recipes Used:

  • Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe – bake and allow to cool completely the day before
  • Cookie Icing Recipe – I made this right before decorating

Hailey chose 2 icing colors and an assortment of sprinkles from our sprinkles bin. (PS I won all these sprinkles from giveaways at Sweetapolita so make sure you always enter the instagram giveaways since this party features 2 freebies I won!)

After a quick tutorial on how to easily spread the icing with the knife without making a mess, Hailey was on her way to decorate an assortment of heart shaped cookies!

Some of us might’ve been a little more generous of on sprinkle distribution than others. :)

Oh and YES I was rocking my Hello Love Valentine nail mixed mani made up mostly of Drink Up Me Hearties and It’s Bloody Hot this day! This was 6 days into wearing this set put on solely with the double sided nail glue stickers! I’ve been off the nail glue for almost 6 months now and have no regrets on using just the stickers to apply these fun reusable press ons.

This girl was so proud of her sprinkle covered Valentine cookie decorating session, but we already know we’ll have to plan a new one for St. Patrick’s Day so her sister get can in on it too! We already plan to do this again for another holiday when everyone is feeling 100%

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate piece shown on the video and add it to the back of your pennant to help it hang more securely, hide the ribbon and not move as much when hung.

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
