Friday Favorites – Week 154

friday favorites

Happy Valentine’s Day! And welcome to another edition of Friday Favorites. Since I was such a slacker last week, and since I’ll be going out for Valentine’s Day tonight and I don’t know if the WordPress coding issues are over yet, I’m starting the party a little early. I’m also doing a double feature for you this week since I didn’t get a chance to do features last week.  However, I think I had more link ups than ever before, so perhaps I should be a slacker more often. haha!  Hope you enjoy these fun ideas from our friends!

I’ve been seeing and hearing about Rolo Pretzel Candy for years, but I’ve never been at a party where it was served or tried it myself.  I finally decided to change that, and I loved it!  Not only are they tasty, but they cook up in about 5 minutes, making them the perfect treat for parties or everyday snacking!

Yes, you read that right—dryer sheets!  So basically today we have simple, crafty, economical project, and a form of recycling all rolled in to one post! [Read more…]
