Valentines - Part 4

So, I'm sure you're wondering, "But, Lera, what about the valentines?"

This year we took a different approach to giving valentines. I decided to be the cool mom this year. Traditionally I buy boxed valentines with tattoos, stickers, etc., and let the boys duke it out who wants to give which one. But this year I thought I'd do what we've never done before. Candy. (Well, candy for the three boys in elementary school.) We picked up a few packs of Fun-Dips valentines and the boys gave those to their classmates (and soap to their teachers). Except (hello!) they were $3 for a pack of 24 at Wal-Mart. So easy. And the kids got to eat the leftovers.

And then for my girl we did something more girlie. I picked up several packs of valentines pins at Michaels one day (six for $1) and decided to make a card to go with them.

I made a little card and printed it on cardstock and all she had to do was write her name ...

and pop them into "invitation" envelopes found at Wal-Mart. Too bad they didn't have white envelopes. Just ivory.

Love Spencers Valentines. That's a terrific idea. I am so irritated by those fun dips. What's with packages of 24? So many classes have 25 kids! My class has 30. Annoying. Kids do love them tho.

I loved all these Valentine posts - my favorite has to be the butter, but these pins are a close second.
