Little Man made these for his class this year. Can I tell you this is the least labor intensive valentine that we have done in a long time! If you want to bookmark for next year, you'll need to go over to zakkalife.blogspot.com.

She has other cool valentine ideas as well. Little Man might have gone for the space ones if he saw them when we were deciding.

Girl Pre-teen and Teen Summer Craft Idea (Sewing)

I wish I could sew. Honestly, I have not tried. Unless you count the buttons and a few loose things here and there. Oh and surgery on stuffed animals. But, a machine and sewing, I've never tried. Guess I just think I will manage to mess it up and break a machine or something.
Anyway, here is a super cute idea for those the do sew and want to get their girls involved.

Super cute. :)

Valentine's Day lunch notes!!!

Valentines Day Lunch notes!
Because something this cute needs to be shared. Just so you all know, I do lunch notes still. I will do them until Little Man tells me that he doesn't want them anymore. Oh how I pray that doesn't happen. After all, it's my only way of communicating with him during the day!

As for the notes, sometimes I find cute jokes or such on the computer. Other times, I make my own. More often than not, I make my own. Sometimes it's just words, sometimes it's a picture too. But, I came across these at Crafts and Sutch and had to share!
Crafts and sutch idea


 How cute are they?!?!? Want your own? She is so kindly allowing you to print from her blog. Just go here and print off your own sweet set. There is even a set for that someone special in your life! :)  I simply can't resist sharing awesome things with you all and when I find other blogs that are truly inspiring and have something like this to share, I want to let you know about them too! :)

Word to the wise, when you hit the print, hit print preview and change the orientation to horizontal and you'll be delighted! :) Don't have kids in school yet? Then, you need to save a copy for sometime in the future. These are too cute not to use.

Craft ideas for the week-Silhouettes and photo wreath valentine style.

Craft/Photo idea of the week. You know those silhouettes that the make at theme parks of your children that you can buy? Well, look no further than your camera, a window, and a photo editing program to make your own low cost. Not to mention you can then print more than one and give them as a gift.

If you want to learn how to make it, you should stop over to the Crafting Chicks. Besides, if you have not seen there blog before, you will be in love with it. At least, I am. Just follow this nice little link over there: How to make your own silhouettes
While you are over there, you should check out her photo wreath valentines day style. It's oh so cute!
Happy Crafting! :)
