Loved the way the bracelets looked all together on their cards. So before they all were dispersed I thought I’d grab a photo of them. Too Cute!!

No sleep for the crazy
Not sure why I do this to myself. I mean, I love doing it, but why can’t I do it within a normal time frame and at a normal hour??
Since last year when I saw these, I knew just what I’d be doing for the girls’ valentine’s exchange. But I didn’t fully realize how long it would take nor factor in the fact that I’m too busy with kitchen cabinets.
Regardless, last night I was up very, very late making these.
Big Sister helped for awhile before going to bed, but that mostly consisted of me telling her not to turn off my sewing machine, not to cut anything, and not to stab herself with pins. In the end, she “helped” by taking the pins out of the hearts that I had already pinned together and putting one pin into each separate heart.
Cute.
Not helpful, but cute.
I showed them to the girls this morning and they LOVED them. Big Sister was so excited to give them to her friends and Little cried when I put them back in the bag. Sort of makes the whole thing worth it, don’t you think?

Why can’t I just use stickers??
Last week, Little Sister’s teacher sent home little paper bags and instructions to decorate it for Valentine’s Day and bring it back to be used to collect Valentines.
In my head, I sort of cringed and wondered if she realized what she was doing to me — while at the same time my wheels were already turning as I began to brainstorm as to what I would do.
Almost immediately, I knew.
I had to make a Valentine’s Day monster.

Pretty cute for something that will most likely get torn up tomorrow by a 1 year old and will most definitely be in the trash by next week, don’t you think?
