Classroom Valentines

It is very well known that i am extremely competitive when it comes to decorating, and trying to be the best at home decorating ( which i fail miserably) and i try to be the best mom- another big FAIL-- but i do my best and that's all that matters. i've learned in the last year that i love to take on WAY too many projects and try to do it all. ITS.NOT.POSSIBLE to do everything- i've found out many panic attacks later..
Some of you may remember that i made fun Ipo*s for mini me's classroom last year with chocolate kisses and conversation hearts- this year i was stalking blog land and found the CUTEST idea from i believe the blog called La*t*da.. i snatched up her idea and ran with it.
Once again, mini me came home with all of her classroom valentines and said : "mom, all the kids LOVED theirs from me!" I went to the dollar tree and bought the cotton candy - buy it in the YELLOW package if possible and i bought sugar cones and triangle shaped cello bags at Hob Lob. I made a little tag that said : "Valentine, you make my heart melt"
Easy, crafty and not the STUPID, repetitive cardboard valentines they sell.. I HATE those.. and seriously, the kids dont care about that anyways, they want SUGAR ( Uh... lets be real, who doesnt want sugar? ) And so.. its on to more blog stalking for more great ideas ;)

I'm a holiday freak- but There's something special about Valentines day to me.. maybe its all the LOVE, the SWEETS ( i am a self proclaimed sugar junkie) , the colors of red and pink, or giving gifts to the ones i love.. Today - were making some sugar cookies for our nieghbors to show them some LURVE- in leiu of sugar cookies for you, since we cant send them thru the computer...

Here's wishing you a special day from our family to yours!!!
