Crafty Tuesday

it was valentine's day so of course we were crafty! we just had to make valentines for bean's friends and teachers at school. we saw the little owl valentine in the family fun magazine and bean loved them. so, we took a trip to target and found some valentine's pencils in the dollar spot- 10 for a $1! yay! we came home and found some paper in the closet. the valentines cost us only 10 cents a piece because all we had to buy was the pencils!!! we ended up with these:

we also made flower bouquets for her teachers out of egg cartons, tissue paper, and chenille stems. bean totally preferred this project. i basically made the owls myself, all she did was glue on the hearts. but the flowers she painted and glued, all mommy had to do was put on the stems. they turned out looking like this:

they looked pretty cute spread out over our table this morning... yeah, school was closed last week on valentine party day and monday for president's day and today for a snow day! so we are hoping to hand out our adorable crafts tomorrow. darn snow days! ;)

don't get me wrong, i actually really like snow days, i just don't like them on school party days!

so were you crafty this week? let's see what you got! :)

*** as of this evening they have closed school for tomorrow and offically canceled the valentine's party at bean's school. boo! :(
