Happy Valentine’s Day!

valentinescards3

Hello!! Happy Valentine’s Day. Yes…that was my Silhouette you heard humming at 8:30 last night. Somehow I managed to forget to make Valentine’s cards for the boys’ teachers. I always make them and then buy the store versions for the kids to swap with their friends.  Well we had a snow day yesterday and the boys were home and I managed to forget what I had to do for the day.  So yes, I snatched up the easiest file I could find and cut out these cards.  I have also made an extra one for the crossing guard.  I am always so amazed how she manages to get out there way before all the kids are released from school and stand in that bitter cold. I stay in my car until the last minute and I still freeze my butt off. I wonder what kind of thermals she wears?  Anyway I made an extra one for her.

I also made a few for my son’s ‘special valentines’. I printed up some digis and colored them up real quick.

The boys completed their cards too. Apollo is sitting at his new desk in his bedroom writing his cards.  I am so happy they have desks now. They both like to write and especially at bedtime so they will be well used.

Our seven days of love has gone well. I even received a chocolate in my mailbox last night from my husband. (Love that man.).  Well I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s day and a great weekend.

Valentine’s Mailboxes

 

valentinesboxes1

Well our 7-days of love has begun at our house. I completed these mailboxes last week and each has been placed near our beds waiting for love notes.  Each day I write 3 love letters and slip one in each mailbox.  Then at bedtime we all open up our mailbox and read them.  The first box, from left to right is Apollo’s then followed by Nicholas’, mine and Leao’s.

valentinesboxes2Of course I had to add flowers to my mailbox because I needed an excuse to use my glue gun and truly can’t resist using flowers.  I also got to use some old brads to attach the arrow so that it could spin.

valentinesboxes3I put it on my nightstand so it is ready to receive some love notes. The book on my night stand is a new one I bought to help me with my genealogy research. More to come on that project sometime in the future.  I you would like to get this cut file for the Silhouette you can find it here.

Have a blessed day!

Fun Photos Friday #17 : Growing up fast

projectlifecards7

I just realized a few weeks ago that my oldest son’s pants were creeping up and I needed to go buy him some more.  Today, I was folding the new pants after taking them out of the dryer and reality set in that he is growing so fast.  Part of me wishes he could stay small forever and stay with me. But I know part of being a parent, we are to help them grow and guide them so that they can go out into the world and share their greatness. But standing there looking at his new jeans and  I couldn’t believe how the time flies so fast. These jeans looked so long.

Think I am going to hug him a little tighter today!!

Have a great weekend!

Winter storm

anotherstorm1

This is the aftermath of yesterday’s snow storm.  A foot of snow!  Yes that is our cars almost buried. I took this in the morning from my bedroom and it came down all day and a few more inches were added to this.  So another fun snow day for the boys. I do love snow days. It’s just the shoveling that I am not so thrilled with.  It was fun watching the pretty flakes fall but then reality set in that I would have to put on my boots and get out there yanked me from my ‘happy place’.  I took the back walk and cleared the cars. Leao the front walk, stairs and front drive.  Our plow guy had to come two times to clear way the big stuff for us.

So it was pretty much a hang out in your pajamas and play day for the boys and back to school today.  So I am finally back at my craft table.

Have a blessed day!
