Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine’s is just 2 days away and I’ve got a little something for everyone.. The couples, the crafty, the heartbroken, and even something for your sweet little feline friend (because let’s be real.. your cat is probably your soulmate). These are a few of my favorites I’ve created over the years and I hope that you find something you want to try no matter how you celebrate or don’t celebrate the day!
1. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes
Let’s kick this off with something decadent! I made these cupcakes using a chocolate porter in the cake, fresh strawberries for the frosting, and homemade chocolate covered strawberries. It’s a two for one dessert!

3. Refillable Catnip Heart Toy
You can’t forget about your little ride or die buddy on Valentines Day! I often say Punk is my soulmate because she has been through it all with me.

Also scroll to the end of the tutorial for bonus photos of Punky geeking out on catnip because I know you all are just following me for her anyway! 😉

5. Bloody Valentine Heart Wreath
Okay.. are you seeing a bit of a theme with my posts? Haha I made this wreath one year when Friday the 13th fell before Valentine’s Day. I sort of fused the two of them for this “blood” splattered creation.
