I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I used to not like Valentine’s day. But I must admit I embrace it full heart-idly now, with a kid-kind of heart. The fun, the excitement, the love, the chocolate – really how can one resist?
It was a busy week just trying to keep up with my little silly, active Valentines. With two of my days filled up organizing a bake sale at school – that raised more than $1000 this year selling home baked goods and handmade items! On Tuesday I tried to ignore that it was 37th birthday, it just seems like such a blah number. My sweet family didn’t forget and they showered me with the best kid-made cards, a new yoga mat, thai food and my favorite cheesecake.
On Wednesday, between yoga and setting up for the bake sale, I squeezed in a few minutes to make these heart doily shirts for my three little Valentines, like I did last year for my youngest. Not my creation – but a wonderful one from The Artful Parent. I was surprised last year when my two older girls were bummed that I didn’t make one for them. So this year, just in the nick of time. I found a few plain t-shirts, used the heart dollies from our Valentine craft shelf and got to stamping.
I tried to get a photo of them all together but this was the best result – one sister was unwilling to be in the photo, the dog was in the way and two sisters embraced the opportunity to be silly for the camera….always silly I tell ya.
I hope your Valentine’s Day was filled with love and laughs.
