Love warms the heart like a good cup of hot cocoa!
I'm celebrating Valentine's Day just a bit early with some good friends who warm my heart.
Since it has been snowing lightly on and off for the last few days, I thought a hot cocoa bar would be perfect for this gathering.
I used a lot of black -which doesn't really seem like a cheerful color but I love the way red pops off of it. Plus I had these mix and match black and white mugs I wanted to use for the cocoa.
What's fun is hot cocoa with out all the extras?
I have all sorts of sprinkles and flavors to add to that plain cup of cocoa.
I made some little favor bags with a cupid's arrow piercing through the top,
just to let them know how much the mean to me.
Then I dangled some XO's from the arrow for some extra hugs and kisses.
We will be having some fun until we come down off the sugar high I will be giving everyone!
Wishing you all a warm cup of cocoa this Valentine's Day!
Check back in next week when I reveal my kitchen makeover in our fixer upper!
