Valentine's Day - 2025

Now that the three older kids are out of elementary school, I just have one kiddo left to work on valentines for his classmates.  It's hard knowing that the end of an era is close so I made sure to schedule a block of time for us to work on these together.

James chose to give his friends sour patch kids and I printed a tag to go on each one.

He took the initiative and signed his name to each one and applied a sticky 'dot' to the back to apply them to the outside of the bags.

But the best part was the design of his box to collect valentines in.  He wanted a dinosaur and, working with supplies that we already had available in my craft closet, we cut/glued and assembled quite the masterpiece.  

Miraculously, it made it to school unscathed AND back home again.  He loves it so much that it is now residing in his bedroom on display on the top of his dresser.  His smile in the picture above is one that I hope to remember forever.
