Valentine Ideas

Are you ready for February?  I have been thinking about lots of Valentines ideas lately and thought I would compile a few from the “archives”.

Adam said he wanted to do the same Valentines that we did last year.  I guess the “I LOVE” was a hit.  I was kind of dreading all the work, but I realized this would probably be his last year for school valentines so I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Thankfully I did not rush right out and buy all the supplies, because he has changed his mind several times now and I think we are going to do THIS for his school valentines…also seen HERE.  Amazing! Who thinks of these ideas?  I will keep you posted on how or if they even turn out.

Ohhh…and these valentine versions of the EDIBLE CRAYONS.  I love making these.  Such a fun and easy project for kids to do with you!  The original details from Gourmet Mom are HERE.  And while I was just reviewing her post about the edible crayons I noticed she has added even more labels, including Ohio State!!!!  We will definitely be making those seeing as that is our favorite team!  GO BUCKEYES!

Ok, I know that this was technically a Christmas idea.  But these would be great for Valentines day too.  Imagine cute Valentine papers and ribbons (and let me add that this is a horrible picture of these…my goal for 2011 is to finally get a new camera).  Don’t go buy a box of chocolates…make your OWN.

LOVE all of these. I need the cupcakes in a jar (box) pronto cuz the twins birthday party is a cupcake theme! Can't wait. Have't been here in forever. Glad to see you're still blogging and crafty (cue Beastie Boys....she's crafty)...:)

LOVE the Tootie-Pop Valentine cards! How can I talk my boys into those instead of the traditional ones you buy at Target?

I was going to do those same lollipop valentines this year for Linds and Anna...we're gonna try it, so we'll see if Miss Picky likes 'em.

Keep the ideas coming!!
Have I mentioned how glad I am that you are "back"?
