Treats for My Sweets


I found these cute little tin mailboxes at the Target Dollar Spot right after Christmas, and I couldn't resist. I'm not the only one that snapped these up either.  I've seen them on quite a few blogs this month.

I'm only sorry that I didn't pick up more, because I think they make great gifts.


My plan was to hide these and decorate them for the monsters for Valentine's Day. Well, I have no impulse control, so my girlies have already seen them. In fact, they've been begging me to decorate them since I brought them home, because they just can't wait to play post office with them.


They're decorated now, and now that I've snapped some pictures, they're going into hiding until Saturday morning.


I've tucked a few little goodies into their little mailboxes. Not too much though. We're on sugar overload in this house.


I'd give you a tutorial on decorating these little guys, but I think Emily did a fabulous job, so I'm just going to send you over to her. Enjoy!
