Oreo Cookies

ingredients:

1 Box of Devil's Food Cake Mix

3/4 cup Butter Flavored Crisco

2 Eggs

1 (8 oz.) package of Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 cup of Butter

2 Tbsp. Vanilla

2 cups of Powdered Sugar

directions:
In a large bowl combine the cake mix, 3/4 cup of Crisco and eggs. Chill about 10 minutes. Roll into small bowls (3/4 inches - they are better when they are smaller). Place these on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Don't bake them longer or they are just crunchy and not soft. Then they don't taste good. Cool your cookies. 

For the filling beat your cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and mix together. Spread the milling on the bottom of one cookie and then place another cookie on the other side. This makes about 2 dozen cookies! Enjoy!

Make them heart shaped for a great Valentine's treat!!

Spice it Up a Bit

It doesn't cost much to spice up your holiday decor!

Cheap, Easy and Cute Hanging Hearts!!!

Materials Needed:
Tissue Paper
Empty Cereal Box
Scissors
Hot Glue
Pencil
Ribbon

Directions:
This was so fun to make and I didn't have to go and buy anything! That was my most favorite part! I used the tissue paper I had saved from gifts and then everything else I had. Cut out 4-5 inch hearts from your leftover cereal box and then cut the insides out. Cut a bunch of once inch squares form your tissue paper and glue them around your hearts. My heart were only about 5/8 inches wide so I only had to do one row around the hearts. Glue the ribbon behind and hang them! You are done and it turns out so cute!

DIY:Valentines Cards with Acrylic Paint

Make this fun design by folding your card stock into a shape that looks like a card. Dip your paint brush in some paint and roll it over your card. Let them dry. Hot pink looks the best! Then dip your cookie cutters in paint and press them on top of the first layer. This makes a fun, fast Valentines Card!
