Happy [belated] Valentine's Day

A very belated Happy Valentine's Day to everyone here in blog-land! I always seem to be behind the curve 'round here.

I kept things pretty simple with my husband on Monday, and gave him shortbread cookies I had made over the weekend from one of Ina Garten's cookbooks, and a card.





















To make them more appealing, I stacked them in paper muffin cups,




















then wrapped them in plastic-wrap so they would stay fresh, and wrapped them in pretty paper, tied with a bow.


























I also distributed these to a couple of my single girlfriends, along with some fun greeting cards.

























I love giving Valentine's Day gifts to friends. It reminds me of grammar school when everyone would share cards and candy in class. :)

I hope everyone had a nice day on Monday!
xoxo

*lol* I'm watching Ina right now make peach & raspberry filled shortcakes. Yours look as perfect as hers. Nicely done. :-)

I just made Ina's blueberry muffins and they were really easy (and quite popular at the office). I love how you made the cookies more presentable!
