Our Homemade Valentines

My Little Cheese (7) usually is very, very, very crafty.  She can usually be found with paper and pencils in her bed to color with after the lights have been turned off for the night.  She has a constant stash of crayons, markers, string, beads, glue, etc....

But.  She had no interest in making valentines.  I went to the store and stocked up on red paper, doilies, stickers, and basically everything else that goes into making the "perfect" homemade valentine.  Nope.  No interest.  It turns out that using tape to secure candy to a piece of scrapbook paper with pre-printed wording was much more fun.





















We made these valentines that say "Thanks for Being Life Savers" to take down to our local EMS station.  We have had to call on our local crew several time in the last couple of years and so I really wanted to thank them.  We are going to head to the station later today.






















We made these to give to our friends at church on Sunday.  Get it?  A whole crunch (instead of a whole bunch).
