Have fun with your kids making these cute Valentine Cards:What you need:

Cut the white paper to make the cards. You choose the size.
Using scissors (or a heart shaped puncher) cut little red hearts.

Add colorful stickers or a little red ribbon if you have at home.
Write a message on your very special Valentine card.

Here's our Valentine's Day Message in a Bottle "cards" for the preschool class a few years ago. We used empty, washed VitaminWater bottles and filled them with candy, stickers, a pencil and a hand drawn picture/card. We're just about 90% done. The sample completed bottle is the handwritten label, but below that you see the actual labels we're using. I printed Happy Valentine's Day, From Kira 2009 on the labels, and then she use rubber stamps for the hearts and flowers. I started with a label that went completely around the bottle, but Kira agreed with me that it looks better with the smaller label so you can see the contents inside.
Tonight, I have to put the labels on all of the bottles, and then tie one a lollipop with ribbon. The lollipops were just a tad to wide to fit in the bottle.
Enjoy!


I love planning party favors! I have loads of ideas - all depends on the age group and your budget.

Over the years we have collected quite a bit of her work, many of it is displayed on our kitchen walls, and much more is stored under our beds. That said, I have to admit that I have become overwhelmed by the shear volume of her art as of late. So I finally figured out how to fully enjoy it all without being depressed about it being stuck under the bed. Here's what I did - I scanned in several of my favorites and made them into an animated grahic. That graphic is now the background on my computer screen. If we had one of those digital photo frames, I could also put it there. Certainly now the grandparents will get a copy of these for their frames.
So guess what? I'm now offering this as a service! Bring out your collections of art and let me produce your own animated graphics. I will give you 1) a scanned copy of each piece of art; 2) a completed animated graphic in two sizes; and 3) all of your artwork will be returned, unharmed. Prices start at $50, so email me with your phone number if you'd like more information. CraftyMomsArt@mcpink.com

I enjoy doing thing in new ways, so today, I decided to peel my avocado like I would peel an orange. Then I was able to get nice round slices - something different for your morning eggs. :)
