Makin' It Monday

Valentine's Day

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it is HUGE here in Texas. It's funny to see the tents that go up in grocery store parking lots a week before Valentine's day and the massive amounts of people in stores Valentine's weekend.

I was excited this year because Valentine's was a school day. I was also a bit sad though as my Valentine is in California until Friday with Julianna. But, we had a great day, and I made Valentine's for my students :) Here's how I did it:

Red cardstock cut in half
Pink cardstock cut into quarters

Red and pink bags ($0.25/ea)
Sweethearts conversational hearts
Heart-shaped sugar cookies

 I was going to make cookies or cupcakes, but I just had too much to do this weekend from putting off things to spend the last few moments I could with Jason and Julianna, so I just bought some cookies from Kroger. I then folded the red cardstock in half to make a card and angled the pink cardstock on top with their name on it. I glued it onto the top of the card and added some conversational heart stickers for added flair. I then wrote inside each card; filled the bag with a few cookies and candy and attached the card.

Goodie bags for all my wonderful students and two special bags for Joshie & Jenna's teachers
