Our Valentines celebrating has begun. Jayne worked very hard on her valentines this year. In the past I've always bought whatever store made card she wanted and attached some candy. This year, I decided to let Jayne get creative.
I cut up a bunch of hearts in different sizes, some paper for the main part of the card, some print outs that said Happy Valentines Day, some doily lace hearts, come glue, sparkles, and pens and let Jayne make whatever she wanted. She had to do 11 for her class plus 2 for her teachers. It took her about 2 hours, but they turned out so cute! It was hard for me to resist trying to tell her where to put stuff, but I did resist! :-) They were all her.
The best part was Jayne saying last night, " I love making these Valentines Mom. My favorite part is making these with you." Yes, she really said that. And I thought, wow, this is way more fun than the store bought cards. We might not go back now.
And today she got to go to a Valentine party at her school! She got a new Valentine shirt, and she accessorized quite well, I thought.
First she poses like I want (see previous picture), then she says, "Now take my picture" and poses like this! Oh Jayne! :-)More Valentines making and celebrating to come!

Cute Valentine's cards Jayne! I love them!
We just went for the store bought cards this year, but I will have to try out making them with the kids, maybe next year. They each picked their own Valentine's styles out though. Brandon got basketball cards and Taylor got fairy cards.
Adorable! Definitely more fun than the store-bought cards. You are so creative Trina. Love Love Love it.
