So...Valentine Sucess. Is this what it feels like? Most Valentine's Days around my house look like this....
My son whines and complains about Valentine's Day...always has, maybe always will. This year was different. He came home with a plan. He wanted to hand out Valentines with hearts on them. Real hearts. Surprise!!! They don't sell those. Luckily, I'm not the kind of mom that gives up easily. We pulled out my sketching pens, did some quick googling and began drawing.
Gross right? He loved it!! I'm no artiste, but my son appreciated the effort. I scanned this inaccurate image of an actual heart and made up a template for bookmarks. Four bookmarks on a landscaped page.
I photocopied the images onto white cardstock, trimmed them, inked the edges with black ink, backed them in red and added eyelets and handmade tassels. Tah Dah!! Bookmarks. Better still, my son, took his time, without a single complaint as he wrote his Valentine wishes to his friends on the backs of the bookmarks.
I'm calling this Valentine's Day Success!! First ever! He came home happy and pleased to have given each of his classmates his unorthodox but handmade cards. ❤
