Hannie B. made a gaggle of tiny Valentine’s cards using a small stamp set from Michael’s. We then attached a heart shaped ornament {upcycled from here} to each one. Hannah had the clever idea to color a row of staples with a red Sharpie marker to give the cards an all over Valentine look. Smart, that girl!
For RedDog, I’d like to say I came up with an original idea for a Valentine, but I didn’t have the time or brain power. I found a free download of a darling Valentine here. RedDog loved that it was arrows! I loved the idea of adding in a pencil instead of candy since our school has outlawed candy this year.
I just happened to find some pencils at Target that were the perfect match for the arrow colors.
And the biggest bonus is that they were mechanical pencils. RedDog thought he’d died and gone to heaven. Giving his classmates a mechanical pencil apparently ranks pretty high in his book.
So the Valentine’s are done. And now I’m off to put the finishing touches on our dinner. More on that plus a love letter you won’t want to miss tomorrow.

Ok seriously these are the most darling Valentines! You have some incredibly talented kiddos...and I can't imagine where they get that creativity from! The arrow Valentine's you came up with are my favorite, so dang cute!
I HEART these clever and cool Valentines.
Chels, I didn't actually come up with the arrow idea - I could have knocked it off though. With a great free download, why bother! :)
Even boys like arrows. So the holiday isn't just about us pink and chocolate loving types.
I'm totally stealing that mechanical pencil valentine for next year!
