Ethan and I made Valentine's for his class today. Jude made some too, but he went with the store bought/sign'em kind. Not so great for photo taking. We really had a fun time and he wrote out all the names in his class, and his name. Yes, he complained a bit, but he did it and I was so proud of him. He had 23 in all to write. I kept telling him if he wrote them all out, he would get as many in return, and that all of his classmates would be writing to him. It was a great motivation!
We got our inspiration from my Aunt Susie's blog. She and her granddaughter made similar ones from doilies. We went looking for the doilies, but with it being the day before, Michael's was out... go figure. So I decided that with a hole punch and yarn, we could get the same affect. Ethan really loves doing crafts and he had sew (ha ha) much fun picking out the yarn and special needles to use. He says next year he wants to do the same ones again. Good because we have two balls of yarn that I probably won't use for much else. Maybe pom-poms. I finished up by editing the photos using Picnik, through Picasa. It's great and has some fun presets that help the photos come life!
And of course, there are the fun conversation hearts to add to the picture for some sass!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY,
FRIENDS!
