It seems that without missing a beat, many bloggers have moved on from Christmas to Valentine's Day creations. I still have unpainted wooden snowmen, unpainted light bulbs, unglittered Christmas cards and a few other projects, yet to be finished. They are now in the basement. I want to finish them, but honestly I am all "Christmased Out". I spent part of New Year's Day looking for Valentine ideas on "the net". My other issue is that I like having a clean kitchen counter. It has been a "craft supply free zone " for over a week now. I do know that it is only a matter of time before pretty papers, scissors, glue sticks and buttons start to make their 2009 appearance. One more weekend of a clean counter maybe just what I need. As you can see I went out Friday and bought a few Valentine supplies, took a picture and put them back into the bags. A clean counter for a few more days, yes. Then, I have to start making things or I may have to stop blogging!
We received chocolate covered clementines as a gift this Christmas. My husband's secretary made them along with chocolate covered pretzels and marshmallows. They were all outstanding, but the clementines were exceptional. The clementines she made were covered completely in chocolate. I had a few minutes today, so I thought I would make a few. I wanted to show you that they were clementines, so I only dipped half. I like the way they look. They are very pretty and so easy to do. 
I wish you could all have a few pieces. They are not too sweet, just right! I am thinking that I may make them for Valentine's Day.
I bought these cute little toothpicks last year. I put them away and I forgot to use them this Christmas. Maybe, they are too cute to use! There is always next year!
