Well…. If you have elementary aged kiddos it’s probably a PARTY day at school like it is for us! I think this is one of my girls’ most favorite days at school! I remember loving it as a kid too! Taking and exchanging Valentine’s with all the other kids in your class. The treats and activities were always fun! I meant to have cookies made to share with you but I ended up creating Valentine Boxes for Bailee & Macey instead. Their classes are both having a contest for the coolest/cutest decorated Valentine box. They asked me to help them so of course I had fun with them and this project! I had a couple of Fishy crackers containers sitting around (just waiting to be altered somehow… I know… I’m sick in the head yo! LOL!) so that’s what inspired these birdhouse boxes! You know when you run a childcare you have a 
never-ending supply of goldfish right? ANYHOO!!! You can’t really see the slot on the other side of the roof in these photos but that’s where the Valentine’s get dropped in and then of course the door opens to remove them. The girls were ecstatic when they woke up to these and their treats this morning. We celebrated a day early here since they will be with their Dad again this weekend. Forgive the poor photos of these but there was no good lighting left at 130am this morning! HA!
So what’s everyone doing for sweetheart’s day tomorrow? We don’t have much planned yet but we do have FOUR soccer games to be at!!! I love Saturdays and soccer season! Can’t wait to watch them all play!
I have one more Valentine’s card to share and then I am done for this year! LOL This is featured on the Bo Bunny Blog today as well as a few other cards! It’s a “Quick and Easy” theme to give you some ideas for cards in a flash!
It’s not very often that I make a card that I’m absolutely in love with! But I have to say that this is one of those rare occasions! 
This card just makes me smile! I created it based on this week’s CARD-A-LICIOUS challenge. I love the colors and these Stampin’ Up papers. I cut the flower out myself…. even the felt part. That was part of the challenge….to use felt. Which I NEVER do so it was fun!
Okay peeps! Time to pack some clothes for my girls’ weekend with Dad and then it’s off to pick them all up from school. It’s been raining here most of the day but I am praying it stops so we won’t get rained out tomorrow! Enjoy your weekend! You may or may not hear from me again until Monday! Enjoy time with those you love most!

Love your projects (so cute!!) and cards, Shanna!
I think dh and I are going out for supper and a movie on Sunday, so for tomorrow, I’m making Tony Roma’s ribs (well, pork buttons) and stuffed potatoes. I also made a chocolate cake and iced it with hearts.

Shanna,
I love your blog and especially how you’ve melded everything that means so much to you. It’s also inspired me to create some more links to the Church on my own blog just as you have.
I’m leaving you the Kreativ Blogger award, which you can pick up at my own blog Kitchen Table Crafter
Have a lovely day,
–Kathryn
