Better late than never.
Here are 7 of the 8 crafts from our Valentine's exchange.
Unfortunately, one met a sad fate
at the hands of my girls.
Amy made an adorable paper candy dish
that my two thought was theirs for the playing.
One round of house in the play kitchen later, it's in bad shape.
I will get a picture of one that the
other girls have and add it ASAP.
But for now, here are the rest.

I'm feelin' the
Valentine's Day love.

So I failed.
Although I had every intention,
there was no ornament exchange
organized at Christmas.
I wanted to.
I really wanted to.
And I know there were those of you that did, too.
Sorry.
But never fear, Valentine's Day is drawing near.
So...why don't we do a Valentine's Day craft exchange?
You know you wanna.
Here's what I'm thinking:
We find 10 {maybe more?}
fabulously crafty and lovely ladies.
Each of them make some kind of
Valentine's Day home craft
and mail {or hand deliver}
one to each of the other ladies playing.
In summary:
- mass production of crafty goodness
- mailing of packages to new {maybe old} friends
- receiving packages on your doorstep {always exciting}
- a home full of totally awesome Valentine's decor
And if we rellly like it,
maybe we should channel
the Easter Bunny next.

So, today when I picked Tatum
up from preschool I did the usual...
Went through her backpack for notes, etc.
Luckilly, because I found a note about
the classroom Valentine's Day party tomorrow.
I already knew about it and was prepared
with crayon bag gifts for all 22 kids.
But
Something new was posted on this note.
22 kids, 12 teachers
{she has preschool at the high school...
thus lots of student teachers}
thus lots of student teachers}
Crap!
I had only really planned on sending something
for her individual teacher.
You know, a good lotion or something.
So forced into creativity,
and armed with a 12 pack of soda
and some heart-shaped straws
and some heart-shaped straws
I came up with what you see above.
The good news?
It only cost me about 75 cents a teacher.
Less than I would have spend on a bottle of lotion.
Good under pressure.

happy valentine's day
{in a few days}
love, tatum
p.s.
Want to know how to make them?
It's easy.
Find lots of old crayons
Separate them by colors
Peel paper off
Break into small pieces
Place {colors seperated} in washed out soup can
Place soup can in small pot of boiling water
Cook until all crayon pieces are melted
Carefully pour into heart molds
being careful not to drip any water into the molds;
this will make the crayons funky
{heart molds found at Ikea - ice cube trays}
Allow to set {quicker in the freezer}
