My latest project involved making Valentine's cards for Zoey's class. I needed to bring thirty-six valentines for the other kids! Wanting something unique, I decided to make these sweet little tokens of love instead of buying tacky cards with some celebrity's face plastered all over them.
The valentines took time (I admit it would be much quicker to just buy them pre-made and scribble a name on the back), but they are personal and one of a kind. Not to mention cost effective; the supplies cost approximately the same, if not less, than what would have been paid for store bought valentines.
So if you have the time and the determination, make your own Valentine's! If not for the lucky receiver, for your own pleasure!

These turned out really nice! Has Zoey gotten her name on all of them yet? Glad that you could come and get these completed - it feels so nice to finish a project, doesn't it? :)
It is SO refreshing to finish a project! Like that scarf I've been knitting for five years...I will have to blog about that!
So- were they a big hit at pre-school?
Yes! She showed me all her Valentines and I must say that I was very proud of mine
they are beautiful! handmade items always win!
How cute. I meant to do homemade valentines this year but the girls just didn't want to wait for me. They had fun filling out the old store bought ones one more year. Great to find you here in blogland. Lisa
