Valentine's Day Treat
The web is filled with valentine's day special treats and sweets. And, while I was looking for an owl themed valentine recipe, I came across these cute little guys by Sugar Swings. Aren't these super adorable!
These are really easy to create and will make a great gift to give to someone special. All you'll need are some
heart shaped peppermint patties for the body, valentine's day m&m's for eyes, tootsie rolls for making the wings and royal icing to glue everything together. Serious. Take a look here.
What's your favorite Valentine's day recipe?
Cup O' Art
Cheeming Boey AKA “Boy Obsolete” is a Malaysian born artist currently living in Newport Beach who makes amazing art combining two very simple things - disposable cups and Sharpie. It all started when he was sitting in a coffee shop and began to draw on trashed styrofoam cup because he had no paper. Gradually, he started to draw more and more and getting noticed by people around him for his artful cups.
His cups with the intricate designs and detailed works of art make anywhere from $200 to $1500 a piece. He became "the man behind the cups in Sharpie’s 2011 magazine ad for Sharpie Pen as part of the Start with Sharpie campaign" - Sharpie blog.
The second best green thing that you could do, after using recyclable products, is to transform the un-recycleable into art.
