Happy Valentine's Day to my Cops w/ He♥rts

I love Valentine's Day!  Okay, so I know it's insanely commercialized, but I still love it.  And, while I don't think you should limit one day out of the year to let someone special in your life know how much you care for them (there are, after all, 364 other days), it is a holiday set aside for sweethearts, for lovers, for friends, for hopeless romantics, and for AHOP!  

I wanted to do something for my officers to 
commemorate this fun day.  I designed a candy bar wrapper last summer for another event and everybody seemed to like them, so I thought a Valentine's wrapper would be fun to do.  


Making candy wrappers is a great idea for any occasion (birthdays, weddings, baby showers, holidays, etc.)  I designed this wrapper with the special hearts of the South Division in mind.  I used PowerPoint and had to tweak it a lot to get the size just right, but I think they turned out cute.  100+ Hershey Almond Candy Bars later, this is the end result.  The timing of this gift was not the greatest since a lot of my officers are doing the 'Biggest Loser' challenge and competing among the other divisions...but oh well.

To my friends and readers, wherever you are, I encourage you to do something for the officers who patrol and keep your neighborhood safe.  I can tell you first-hand that they don't hear 'thank you' enough.  They will absolutely love you for it, and you will LOVE every minute you put into it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The back of the candy wrapper didn't come out very clear in the photo, but this is what it looked like.

  3. Thank you both! I had so much fun making them and I received so many wonderful emails and text messages from the officers yesterday in appreciation. So, so worth every minute of it.
