I know I am a few days late, but I wanted to share a few of our Valentine’s Day activities. We made these cute little butterfly valentines for Hannah’s friends at school and dance:

Hannah also enjoyed making her grandparents and cousins cards. I bent a toilet paper roll into a heart and she stamped away. She ended up making cards for her teachers as well. Once she started, she didn’t want to stop! If you can’t tell, this girl takes her art work very seriously. I promise, she was having fun.
I snapped a picture of one of the finished cards. She has become such a good little writer. I wish I had snapped a picture of the one she made for her cousins because when she wrote Evelyn she made a rather long vertical line for the E and then filled it with horizontal lines until she got down to the bottom of the vertical line. I think she had 4 or 5 horizontal lines on her E. when I told her that there were only three, she said, “But I made mine really big!” So cute! 
I decided to copy my sister in law and make a heart garland for our mantle. This project was such an example to me as to how little things can bring joy into your home. Every time I look at this garland, I smile. Something so simple, but it brings me joy.

I will snap a picture of our valentine and send it to you. :) That picture of Hannah looking through the paper roll is soooo cute!
I really love how much fun the girls have doing projects with you:) And, since I received one of these great Valentine's Day cards in the mail, it made me smile and have much joy, too! Something handmade is the best gift of all.
