I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day. It's a silly excuse for people to get their feathers all ruffled as they scurry and scramble through the over-commercialized buildings we call stores in hopes to find the perfect way to say "I love you". How ridiculous that there's ONE day a year to profess our profound love for someone. Like I said, I'm not a fan. But the "mom" side of me can't overlook how excited the kids get about it, so last night we sat down and wrote out valentines for the kid's classmates. We didn't go the traditional route (because heaven forbid we buy valentine's - oh no, we must MAKE them...that's what happens when mom is a graphic designer) - instead we made our very own. The kids got to pick out their favorite kind of candy to put in the valentines and then they helped me pick out what type of animal/character they wanted on their own. Peyton chose a dog and Carson was all about dinosaur-themed ones. Here's a couple of pictures of the finished products:
Hope the classmates like them! :)
