DIY Valentine's

    If you know anything about me, you know that I love doing crafts with Connor {and one of these days Olivia}. Valentine's is one of those days! Last year I made these homemade Valentine's for Connor to hand out at school. They were a hit, so I knew we needed to make something equally cute this year. I searched Pinterest with him and he decided on insect ones. The website to download the template from wasn't working, so I made them myself and they came out perfect.
     We started them a couple weeks early this year so he could sign each one. It took him a couple days because he would get tired of writing his name, but he eventually finished and they looked so cute. He was also a big help in picking out the bugs and helping me tape them to the cards. He picked out the blue butterfly to give to his friend Jasmine. Here’s what he had to say about her: “Jasmine is my friend. She’s pretty. I like her. She’s nice. I’m going to give her the blue (butterfly) Valentine.” Lord help me, I’m not ready for this! 
    Olivia also sent out some Valentine's to her besties. Since I have my bow shop, we sent them bows. I let their moms pick out which one their babies would wear and then mailed them out to them.  I thought it was a cute and different idea.

XOXO,
Jenn
