You've Got the "Write" Stuff

We made these little Valentine treats for the boys' teachers.

When the kids go to so many different classes through out the week, it can be hard to recognize all of the teachers that have an impact on their lives while still being able to pay the mortgage.  This isn't much, but it let's them know we appreciate them!

The printable just jazzes the pencils up a bit.



Heart shapped sticky notes were added to their classroom teachers' stash.

Packs of dollar store Valentine pencils, these free printables and a hole punch were all it took to create these little Valentines.  (I needed to punch some extra space around the initial hole for the pencil to fit.)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Some More Valentine Ideas

We hit the mother load today at our Valentine Parties!  Lots of great valentines and yummy candy!

After combing through the boys' stash looking for Twix cute Valentines, here are a few I thought I'd share with you...

 Cute homemade valentine decorated with stickers and stamps.  Not sure where this momma found the heart shaped folded cards...Oriental Trading company maybe?

This is a great way for the kiddos to make valentines that are cute AND legible!

 Loved this little valentine benefitting MD Anderson Cancer Research Hospital!

MD Anderson has treated my family and friends and I love to support them when I can.  I usually received their Christmas catalog, but had not noticed they had valentines.

What a great idea!  Will definitely look for these in the future.

I'm guessing other organizations may have these as well.  Does anyone out there know of any?

 Here is a great version of the super hero valentine!  The mom got her inspiration from Family Fun Magazine.  Like that she had her little valentine sign his name on the cape.

A few more homemade valentines...butterfly, pencil and the superhero again...all clever ideas!!!  (I'll show you my pencil valentine version later today. )

And last, but not least, is a valentine by a momma with the craftiest of skills.

She got her inspiration from Pinterest and executed this one flawlessly!  It is so, so cute!  To see more cute ideas like this one, check out this crafty momma's blog HERE.

She's full of cute and clever ideas !!

Something I realized today is that the kids LOVE valentines.  Star Wars valentines, Muppet valentines, Penguins of Madagascar Valentines, handcrafted valentines, valentines out of a ox, valentines with candy, valentines without candy...they love them all.  Kids love sharing with each other, especially a little bit of themselves.  Valentines give them that chance to give each other little, sweet gifts that can mean so much!

Happy Valentines Day!!

Smiles!

Valentine, You Crack Me Up

Last year we made cute photo Valentine's with  cake pops, candy lips and suckers.

This year, while at the Dollar Store, we found these knock-off pop rocks and our Valentines were born.

Happy Valentine's Day, ya'll!

Smiles!
