Ok, so don't laugh at this attempt of decorating. My sister gave me some leftover fabric and felt for the garland and the other little decorations I had on hand from years past. The kids liked the decorations, so that's what matters, right? :)
While Jacob was out of town last week, I made this wreath out of a hanger and some old shirts that were in the bag to go to be donated.
I made this super easy dress with dollar section dishtowels. Lily loved it!
We made homemade valentine's cards. We shaped a toilet paper roll into a heart and stamped heart shapes onto one side of card stock. After they dried, we wrote notes on the other side of the paper.
Lily and Levi love all things crafty!
I love to make little treats to give to family. This year I made brownies, cut them into heart shapes, and added a little cream cheese frosting on top. They were really easy!
We gave the kid's valentine's stuff at breakfast - cards, squeezable fruit pouches, and silly putty - some of their favorite things! They were excited!
My sister invited us over for a little valentine's party. We had so much fun! The kids played really well together - a huge blessing!
One of my sweet little valentine's.
Another little sweetie!
Lily loves baby Cameron. She had the best time playing with him.
In the evening, we had to attend a formal valentine's fundraiser event for one of the youth orchestras Jacob conducts. We enjoyed getting all dressed up and going out together. I know you can't really tell what my dress looks like, but it's the bridesmaids dress for my brother's wedding in a few weeks. I love it!

Don't sell yourself short! The fact that you made a dress out of tea towels (and a darling one at that!) blows my mind! You are so creative and your decorations were cute!
ReplyDeleteLove all the hearts and all of your cuties enjoying the day!

Your heart craft turned out SO much better than when I tried it with Luke! But I can see from the photo that you taped yours - so clever! Why didn't I think of that? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great Valentine's day -- I LOVE the dish towel dress. :-D
ReplyDeleteWhatever! You put together lovely decorations! I love Lily's dress, too!
