After much thought and Pinterest perusing, Amelia and I came up with these Valentine's for all her buddies at school.
and made 25 of them.
I had ordered a bunch of cards to send to family from Shutterfly and included our Valentine Hugs with some of them. However, I needed a lot more than that for her Pre-school and dance classes...and I needed them smaller.
So, I took a photo of the card and retouched to read "Amelia" and tossed the jpg into Word and made a slew. Used pearl white paper to give them a very nice sheen...that you really can't see in these pictures.
I had some white HEAVY watercolor paper that I hand cut and punched holes to fit the animals that we bought at Fred Meyers ...3 bags for $3 each. Had to hand write "I'm Wild About You" as the paper would not work in the printer.
We went to work one morning and Amelia's job was to put a sticker on each AND write her name on ALL. You think I asked her to fly to the moon and back.
After much complaining ... she returned safely back to Earth.
We made different ones for her 3 dance friends. They are all new friends and I had lots of extra nail files from last Valentine's Day, so assembled these goodies for the dancing girls :)
And we have a few very close friends we made extra special goody bags/buckets for.
Lastly...her teachers. Five at preschool and one for dance.
WHEW! Done. Time for pop hearts.
Always have a few pie crusts in the freezer. Rolled it out and cut Valentine hearts. Plop a spoonful of any favorite jam or jelly. We used Grape Jam. We made them with Nutella last year ... sans the stick to make it a pop.
Then add the stick.
Add the top and seal with a fork.
Make an egg wash of one egg and water and brush. Add pink sugar...lots.
And use as a bribe to get the Valentine Cards done :)
Will post on Valentine's Day Fun soon!
