The month of February

I didn't post anything for the whole month of February. I was too busy doin' to have any time for 'splaining' what I was doin'.


So here's my quick run-down. Most of the month I focused on Valentines Day. Some people hate it. Me, I love it. Lots of fun.


I took time to make some valentines cards. Then promptly sent them out late. Oops.


Hmm. I should think about taking better pictures. These have a 'postage stamp' feel to them. These use chalk and an overlay to make the white lines across the center and have a postage stamp edge on the white.

I feel like this pink and black is sweet and simple.



It's hard to see but these have glitter hearts in the bottom right corner and an embellished word.

We also made some quick and easy valentines for the kid's classes. These have a conversation heart stamp and the kids wrote their names on the back. Later I added ribbon but forgot to take a picture. Boo.



For valentines I received lovely tulips, candy and a bear (really for Sydney). There were two dozen tulips and they flowered so nicely in a few days.




My visiting teacher dropped by a really cute little cookie mix/heart cookie cutter/frosting package that I took full advantage of. Some cookies to go with a gift for my DH:




The kids also had fun helping to decorate some heart cookies (none of which survived the weekend!)







How cute is this little valentine holder Tristen made? It's a dog 'holding' a box to put his valentines in. He also wrote his name on it. I thought it was a fun idea for kids to do.
