This is still one of my most favorite Valentine's Day gift ideas. I made these last year for the kids and we still love them. If you click through to my original post you can download your own "I love you because" cards.

Groundhog Day Craft

Here's an oldie, but a goodie from a few years ago. A little groundhog popping out of his toilet paper roll hole. Perfect craft for tomorrow's groundhog shenanigans!

Free Truck Valentine Printables

Valentine's Day is just a little less than a month away and I'm excited because I've already got our cards and treats done for both kids' classes.

Way back around the beginning of the year I went hunting for some good after Christmas clearance sales. Thanks to one of my favorite sites, Totally Target, I was able to score a bunch of Chuck Trucks for just $0.39 each. After trying to figure out what to do with these little suckers (and surfing Pinterest for a while) I decided to use them for Valentines for the kids. I created a printable topper for the trucks, but you could also use it for the little Hot Wheels & Matchbox cars that can usually be found for less than $1.00.

Start by downloading the Valentine Printable .pdf files and cutting out the cards.

Fill in the To and From sections of the cards. I did these for my daughter, but Cole will fill in his own. Fold the cards on the center line.

Using double sided tape, or a glue stick, or any other similar adhesive, attach the cards to the top of your trucks. There you go, easy peasy Valentines that are sure to be a hit.

I've created 2 different types of printables that you can use. The one above is just the front part of the cards and comes as a 3 per page on the .pdf file. These would be good if you don't need to write a To and From on them.

The second printable is the one I used. These are designed to fold over the top of your truck or car.

Both of these printables are free for you to download and use for personal use. Please link back to my site if you post information on them on your website or blog. I always love to hear back about how projects work for you so feel free to leave a comment.

A Few Features

I've been seriously slacking in bloglandia, but mostly because I've been busy with some house projects (which I'll share soon). But in the mean time, we were featured on a few different blogs about town.

The paint chip peacock was featured over on the Classroom Creative.

Recently some pictures from Cole's I Spy Birthday Party were featured on Jean Marzollo's blog. Jean is the creator of the I Spy series so I was really flattered to get an email from her about the post.

Elf On The Shelf {Day 16}

Elfie left the kids some new Christmas pajamas taped to their bedroom doors. I was going to save these for Christmas Eve but I wanted Kiley to be able to wear hers to her dance performance today.
