. . . Buffalo Chicken Pasta . . .

I am not a fan of buffalo chicken wings but I love the buffalo sauce that comes on them. I also love anything pasta so when I came across this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Pasta I knew it was a must make recipe! The pasta is filled with flavor and was a big hit at our house. The buffalo sauce provides just enough heat for my liking and then add in the gooey cheese and you are set!

The original recipe came from How Sweet It Is, a great blog if you haven't yet been over there. She has so many delicious recipes to share.

. . . My Heart Bursts For You Download . . .

Doesn't everyone love Starburst candy? I know in our house it is a big favorite. When I was brainstorming something to do for my son's classmates for Valentine's Day I thought of Starbursts. I loved the idea of using the phrase "My Heart Bursts for You". It turned out to be a fun project. I purchased the little treat cups at Wal Mart and grabbed some shredded paper and cellophane bags and of course some Baker's Twine and a 3 inch Scallop Punch that a friend was nice enough to let me borrow. That is it--quick and easy!

The best part is that you can do this too since I'm giving you the FREE DOWNLOAD!!

♥ Download Tags Here ♥

Print your tags and gather up your treat bags, treat cups, cello bags, baker's twine, paper shreds and a punch. Cut out the tags and use double sided tape to adhere them to a coordinating stock that you've punched out with a 3 inch circle, square or scallop. *As you can see in the last photo above I wasn't going to use the additional colored stock but it looked kind of boring so I added the scallop circle in the pink and yellow as seen below.

Once you've assembled your tags punch a small hole

in the tag and tie on the bag using Baker's Twine
