There is something about Valentine's day that is so thrilling to me. I just love the idea that there is one day dedicated to just LOVE.
Since there are so many people in my life that I LOVE, I guess that is one of the reasons I LOVE Valentine's day so much. This last week has been filled with a ton of fun crafts with the kiddios in honor of the upcoming LOVE day and so I thought I would share some of them.
We had fun cutting out a plethora of pink, red and purple hearts and then hanging them up all around the house. This has added such a fun and cheery atmosphere to our home. I think I might keep them up for a little while! I LOVE them
Maya and Kai loved making a mess with their hand print hearts that they will be sending to their cousins....
Here are some of the Valentine's that Maya and I have been working on for her kindergarten class friends....
These were actually SO easy to make (if you have photoshop or something like it). I just purchased some of the snack sized Ziploc baggies and a bunch of yummy treats and then in photoshop I created a format that was the length of the baggie and then twice as big as the image is tall (did that make sense?) So it was 6.5x4. Then I created the image and made it 6.5x2 so that when it printed out I could fold it over. I printed them on cardstock and folded it over the baggie and stapled it to the baggie. I am sure that was far too confusing and so if you would like a copy of them I could email it to you...just let me know!

Wow!! You are such a cute and creative mom! How fun for your kids! I think you inspired me to maybe get a little more festive. That is, after I take down Autumn's b-day decorations! Those valentines for Maya's classmates are so cute. Did you make them? What a wonderful photographer you are too. All your pictures look so professional, like they belong in a magazine!
Carrie you never cease to amaze me! I wish I was one of your kids! They must always feel so safe and loved and special! You are so incredibly FANTASTIC!
I LOVE those valentines -- all of them. How did you do the tags on top of the bags of candy? They are just delicious to look at! I love all of the hearts on your windows -- you have inspired me -- yet again!
P.S. I love your silhouetted banner!!! In fact, in honor of the big love day coming up, I will say I truly "heart" it. :) We miss you and your creativity around here.
