Happy Heart Day to those of you who celebrate! This was my father's favorite holiday, and he always spoiled us with lovely gifts on Valentine's Day. I thought I'd share a couple of things I made for Valentine's Day. The classroom where I volunteer is for special needs children, some of whom have very special dietary needs. They can have gummy worms, but frankly, I'm tired of filling treat bags with the same icky candy. (Even though they love it!) So I was excited when I found these water bottle labels. All the kids keep water bottles on their desks, so I know they'll get used. I tied a Valentine's Day pencil to each one as well. Pencils are always a big hit.
One of the projects I made for the Scrap-Mart blog was a fry box filled with Hershey kisses. I decided to make three more. The new die from Quickutz goes together really quickly, and the boxes hold about 25 kisses.
Tracy and I went out to dinner last night with good friends and I have a special dinner planned for tonight. We're not exchaning gifts since we just splurged on a new flat-screen TV which will be installed on Wednesday. But here's a Valentine for you . . .
Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a lovely day. I so appreciate the community that has developed here and would hand deliver these sweets to you if I could!
