I love Valentine's Day! I love all the paper crafts and possibilities that paper and creativity can make! As much as I don't want my little one to grow up, I just can't wait to sit with him and help him make his own Valentine's.
I found this idea on a blog and just couldn't stand not making it. . . it was so easy! All you need are boxes of conversation hearts, printed scrapbook paper, and this
printout. I didn't make the ear buds, but they looked cool too! If you search google images for
Ipod, they have an awesome heart graphic that I copied to make bag cover for my treats.
Now, I needed a reason to make these cool valentine's, so, since my husband and I hosted dinner for our Sunday School class Progressive Dinner, I thought that they would make great favors for each of my guests.
So, I place them on the place setting like so. . . which in my opinion made it look finished.
I do also have to say that during the dessert portion of the evening, I was sitting on a couch talking with my friends
Steph and Denise, and they pulled out there cameras to show off their nicely set tables. . . I could also pull out mine, because I, too, took pictures of my table. I was so glad that I was not the only crazy one who takes pictures of how I set my table for special events.
We had 6 other fun couples join us for dinner. I went super easy for dinner and made heart shaped raviolis that I found at Costco with white and red sauce, French bread and salad. Super easy, but I really liked the theme of Valentine's Day!
I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!
Our centerpieces were clay pots filled with my browned butter rice krispie treat hearts and a table number. The table number can easily be printed (for free) at Martha Stewart. I found these great place cards at Michael's on clearance, which was awesome, since we were on a tight budget. And of course, Hershey kisses sprinkled along the table just added to the delight.
