Crafty Valentine

So I heard alot of bitching and moaning in my world about Valentine's Day....that's what happens when y0u work with primarily single mothers. One friend thinks it is ridiculous (although I have to suspect that it is because she's only been in one seriously dysfunctional relationship for the past five years (but not really b/c he will never commit to her), another is single right now and can't see past it and the other is in a good relationship, but has two stalker ex-husbands. But I'm sorry, I like Valentine's Day, Hallmark holiday or not.



I got crafty for Valentines, making cards for the kids and Johnny, from a segment from what else, MSL. The directions are here.



The outside of John's card is the same as the kids, but you aren't allowed to see the inside because that's private;) I also gave him a picture of moi, since he lacked one. This picture is from my friend Marty's wedding in 2004, I think, on the coast of Mexico.

I also tried to make a paper craft for cutting out shapes from paper with an exacto knife, but I failed miserably.

My mother got crafty too, I received this in a package from her. God bless my mom, I just love getting packages, especially ones that contain gifts like these.

And she also made Valentines mobiles for the kids. She is just plain awesome!!
