Cupid Float Valentine

February 11, 2013  Recipes | Uncategorized | Valentine

My Cupid Float drink recipe is a hit with adults and kids. Make this delicious drink for your Valentine’s Day party! If you’re for a fun and festive pink drink idea that will wow, this festive drink is for you.

Cupid Float Valentine Drink - how fun & perfect for the kids! kellyelko.com #valentine #valentinesrecipe #valentinesday #valentinesparty #kidsvalentine #kidsdrinks #kidsrecipes #recipes #cupidfloat

Once upon a time (last year), I wrote about my daughters’ annual Valentine’s Day party and our Cupid Float.

As I was rushing to feed a dozen hungry 12 year old girls, I snapped a pic.

That picture looks like one of those horrible paparazzi shots when they catch the star in her bathing suit and she doesn’t know anybody is watching.

In other words, a not so pretty picture …

but one that’s been pinned over 33,000 times!

So the Cupid Float drove itself to the mall, marched into Glamour Shots, and demanded a session pronto.

She sat down for hair and makeup and tried on every single outfit (even a few feathery pink boas).

Doesn’t she look ravishing?

And she’s ready for her close up.

    It’s stunning. What I want to know is, how do you know how many times something has been pinned?
