Another School Project

This past week, M was to create a box for her Valentines to go into. She and K were discussing it at breakfast the other morning. I started throwing out ideas...mail truck, big heart, a butterfly. K said ,"How about a birdhouse?" M loved the idea. So, we began planning. M decided that a cracker box would be perfect for the base M picked out some cute paper from my stash and then Mod Poged it on her cracker box.

The next order of business was meeting with our resident engineer to design a roof. Once a design was agreed upon, M painted the supports and roof.

After a few embellishments, Madeleine's finished Birdhouse Valentine box.

Valentine's Decorations

I've finally made something other than a scrapbook title with my big Cricut I got for Christmas! Yay! I was so multitasking yesterday. While embroidering treat bags for a friend, I decided to make a valentine "love" banner to hang on the wall. I've still got to add some embellishments, but I'm so proud of myself! I think today I'm doing to cut out a bunch of hearts of different sizes and attach them to skewers and put them in a vase like little heart flowers.

Valentine Treat Bags

Just thought I'd share what I'm making for Maddie's class V-day party. I'm filling the bags with treats and trinkets,

It's still early enough that if your interested in some for your party, drop me a line! :)
