Valentines Cards

Valentines day is next week.  Shaylee's teacher asked that each child bring in a sweet treat and Valentines cards for each child in the class.  I thought it would be nice to make these myself, since I find the regular valentines cards that children normally give out to be tacky and so cliche.  They are always themed based on whatever cartoon characters are hot at the time.  SSDD.  I'm sure most people will just toss them in the trash, but I enjoyed making them--using my hands is therapeutic for me....plus it gives me more practice with stamping and designing cards.

Handmade Thank You Cards

I made some handmade thank you cards to send out to people who attended Shay's birthday.  They turned out quite nice--they are simple, but pretty.  I could definitely make them more complex, but these are a start....AND, I'm selling them on Etsy for $30 for one pack of 10.  The orders can be can be customized (mix n match or pick one layout).  

Party Elements

just a little gallery of party elements.  of course, I forgot to take photos of the whole room.  There were pretty things hanging from the ceiling.

the other kids had smaller ones done by Daddy because mommy couldn't take the stress of it not being perfect.
