Valentine Crafting

It all started with this felt heart wreath



I liked it so much I added this to our table decor

Those balls of yarn peeking through in the above picture were inspired by Andrea at our craft night a few weeks ago.  Yes, I know, that frame would look better white.  I didn't have one and just stuck it in that brown one for the time being.  Then I forgot about it and never went and bought a white one.   

The crafting has continued unto this

I don't remember where I saw that idea.  Graham especially likes it.  Wish I had a picture of him getting caught licking it :) 

Love is continued through the house into the computer room where old pictures were replaced with some old scrapbooking stuff

Bryson, Graham and Maleigha helped me make these melted crayon hearts one day last week

Always a fun one for the kiddos. I do have to say though that I really dislike peeling wrappers off crayons. 

We made these little guys in Maddy's class this week for art (for the students parents).  They were a big hit! 

Kelly had given me a link to the idea awhile back and I have been so excited to do them.  Simply just 3 lunch bags folded and stapled together.  In the openings are 3 pieces of paper that you can pull out that answered "I love you because".   The pages in between were decorated with hearts and pictures the kids drew.  They turned out really cute. 

Last but not least, Maddy's class valentines

Brought the red, glittery embossing tools out again this year.  I found this little Martha Stewart kit of 24 of these boxes on clearance at Zurchers for $2. Who cares if they were meant to be wedding favor boxes.  I thought they would make a cute box to deliver a valentine treat.  I really do love traditional valentines but I love putting something unique together more :)

Oh and I also put together one of these again for Maddy's teacher

And, that's all.
