Handmade Valentines

These cute Valentine's were created for my son's class long before he cared about Star Wars, Scooby Doo or The Tranformers. They were personalized for each kid in his class and held a swirled lollipop. Simple, cute and oh so easy to make. Well, I'll be lucky this year if he lets me make them again. He's very opinionated and particular. I may just have to resort to some kind of character ones but I'll put my twist on them. My daughter on the other hand was more than happy to let me make them this year, and actually very excited. So I will be brainstorming to figure out what to do. There are so many options.

Happy Valentine's Day

Such a fun holiday! Here are some cute boxes I found at Walmart believe it or not and they were stuffed with candy. Little handmade tags were created for each child in the class.

Art for Everyone

Not only can I appreciate all the handmade cards and invitations that I've seen, but handmade clothing intrigues me even more. Maybe it's because I can't sew... A good friend of mine sent me a dress she made for my daughter (who is now 3) and I've gotten so many compliments on it. She just sent me to her new website of all things art and I had to share the link. The dress is so cute and so well-made. She has lots of other items on there as well for the artsy people and she is truly a talented girl.

Here is a similar dress she sent to me but there are others on there that are just as adorable.
