Valentine's Day has come and gone...and left me somewhat in it's dust!

Well...after making all of my V-Day cards this year...I only got to give 3 out and mail 2!  When I was ready to put the stamps on the envelopes (yes...I had already addressed them and everything!) - I found that I only had two stamps!  Not normally a problem...since I can simply go to the store and buy more stamps.  However, this was Friday night...about 10pm...and I was taking a break from my vacation packing.  We left for vacay the next morning (at 4:30 am!!)...so my buddies who did not get a card this year will find one in their mailbox next Valentine's Day.  Or...if I'm feeling quirky after vacation (yes...I'm blogging from a cabin in Virginia!!)...I'll send them out late! 


I WAS able to complete my candy pouches for my buddies and co-workers at the office, though.  Below, you'll find a photo instructional on how to make them!  I got this idea from several different places, but the blog that I follow called "Clearly Inspired" has an instructional video on how to make them.  Mine are 4 x 6 in size.
