Happy Valentine's Day

Last week our daycare was closed since Chris was on vacation to Disney World. What a week to be out - we actually got caught up on our v-day projects ;)

We started by making some favors for the kiddos at daycare. In my earlier post I'd mentioned that nothing like a sugar rush! But at less than 75 cents, it was a no brainer. Not the mention a lot less work for me (the non-creative!). Here there are...

Ofcourse, the teachers Valentine had to be different. So we did that (the how-to is in the previous post). But here is the end product...

My little cake decorator at work and the finished product :) (Please note the sprinkles - heart shaped and in nice Springy colors!)

And then we made a card for daddy...

And then a more nicer pose ;) - my little actress!

Today her daycare has a V-day party, so she is wearing red pants, black shirt with a sparkly heart and socks with hearts. In our hurry to leave this morning, I forgot to take a pic and was promptly "informed" by missy that mom, its ok. We'll take a pic in the evening!

Hope your Valentine's day was as fun as mine :)

So not crafty

Its a well known fact to my family and friends that I am not crafty. I mean really, I am not. While most women I know can make hand made cards, cute little things, etc. I am just what I call "craftily-challenged"!. So when someone shows me how to do it, I am always glad :)

This year for Valentine's Day, I actually made some favors for Annika to bring to her daycare. Ok, granted they are candy (yay sugar rush!) that I put in a pretty bag and I didn't really "do" anything. But for the $10 of candy and $1 of cellophane bags at Target, I got 15 favors made. Not bad for ummmm... less than 75 cents per favor. Now that I call resourceful. Anywho, I digress...

Wanted to do something special for our daycare provider who is an angel in disguise, I tell ya! But that's for another post some other time. Here's a cool idea for something inexpensive for a teacher/daycare provider.
