Valentine Countdown 5,6, 7 and maybe 8

Day 5:  Pencil Toppers- Take a pipe cleaner and push it into the top of the metal part in between the eraser.

 After that, wrap it a couple times around the metal part. *you can add a bit of glue to secure it*  Then bend it in any shape you want- I really love how the kinky ones turned out.

If you want to do spiral, hold the pencil next to your pinky finger, and use your pinky to wrap the spiral. 

 Use Shrinky Dink for the top part, remember to punch your holes before you bake it.  I had punched two holes, but only ended up using the bottom hole.

 After you bake the hearts and let them cool, thread the pipe cleaner into the bottom, and fold it over to hold. So CUTE!!

Day 6: They have Rice Krispies Treat that you can WRITE ON!!!!  Any message you want! So fun!

 Day 7:  Here is a link to make your own custom Valentine BINGO .  So many options and way to custom it to your kids or Husband- Have Fun!


Day 8:  I actually did this for my Husband for day 5, because I have never seen him use a pencil, but this could be fun to do for a day too!  I use Shrinky Dink and drew and colored a key.  I am going to put on the saying "You hold the key to my Heart"  You could make anything into a keychain-

Valentine Countdown 1, 2, 3 and 4

My first few days will be this:

Day 1: "Bugs and Kisses"- I used kisses, gummy worms, and chocolate covered raisins.

 Day 2: This is more of an inside joke with my Husband and me, so I got Chapstick and am going to make a tag that says "Stick with me, babe".   You could also use the Napoleon quote, if you find that funny.

Day 3:  I got cherry sours, and I am going to make a tag that reads:

"I wanted to get you something special,

So here's the scoop

I love you so much

I found you Cupid Poop!"

*you could also use red hots, twizzler bites, or anything small and red :)

 Day 4: Valentine Tic-Tac-Toe
I made the hearts out of felt, since I was using black thread, I just traced hearts on the pink felt with a pen, and then sewed over my line. 

 I cut them all out.  You will need nine hearts for each game you make.

 I just drew lines in Word and trim them down to the size I wanted.  I made the squares 2x2 so the board is 6x6. 

 I think the kids will have fun with this one!



Valentine Mail

I love Valentines Day. . .the red, white, love, candy, flowers, cards!!  It's just a fun filled holiday that you can do so much with!!  Every year I do the 14 days of Valentines for my husband.  This year I thought it would be fun to included my children.  When I was at Sam's Club the other day I was looking at their "clearance" section and I found these cute Christmas boxes filled with chocolate covered pretzels. They were 2.91 for three of them, so I thought "well if the chocolate is nasty I can always use the boxes for something". . .I wish I would of picked up another set. . . so I could of made a set for each of the kids, but since I didn't I am just making one for my Husband and one for the kids.

Here are the boxes. . .aren't they so cute. . .I love the tops.  My first thought was to use the tops as is, so I had some blue paint almost the exact same color as the blue background, so I painted the boxes blue.

 I was very surprised at how it covered, and I only had to do one coat. I love the little window!!

 I added some little touches. . .very simple.  Do you notice how the "mail" on the left side is not centered.  After putting the stickers on I realized they needed to slide over a little bit to make it centered. The M and the A came off, but when I went to pull the I off the paint started to come with it. . . .yikes. . .not wanting to have to paint it again and wait for it to dry (I am so impatient like that)- I just tied the ribbon around and put the knot in the middle of the I and L. . .hehe    After decorating everything the tops still made them look to Christmas-y so I left them off.

Stay tuned for what I am going to do for each of my days of Valentines. . . since my husband and children don't ever read this blog. . . I can post them for you. . . .if you would like to join along, go find some cute boxes to make over, or check out these cute chairbacks from potterybarn if your ambitious, those would be easy to make and super cute!
