Happy Valentine’s Day…

Last night we crafted all of our Valentines for the classrooms. 

My daughter decided to try this darling idea that we found on Pinterest…it took us a few tries to figure it out ~ but they turned out super cute!

My ‘lil man’ hurt his arm the other day ~ so we tried to keep his crafting easy since he’s one handed (for a few days)…We used permanent ink for the stamps and filled each paper sack with a cola soda candy and tied a festive tag into a hole punch at the top.

 

You may remember my post from last year sharing with you about the Valentine Fairy visiting our home?  You can read about it here…2011 Valentine Post.  Well, ‘she’ came again last night and did a little more decorating and gifting than I shared with you last week~ if you missed that post, you can go back to it here…2012 Valentine Post.

I made these sweet “crackers” with empty toilet paper rolls and adorned them with tissue paper, heart doily’s and ribbon.  They were filled with little trinkets for each of the kids to wake up to this am.

Pink milk of course filled vintage milk jars with a polka dot straw, the cracker box and a box of chocolates.  (still have these for sale in the etsy store)

This petite glass vase was found at Michaels this past week. I filled it with one of my very few blooming roses from the garden.

While my girls received initialed necklaces ~  I found this adorable pillow for my son saying “I love you more”…we have arguments weekly about who love who more…I think this means I got the last word…? at least for this week that is! 

I hope that you all have a sweet day with your friends and family ~ I appreciate you coming by to take a peek at my blog today.
