Sweet Little Valentine's



 One of my bazillion and one goals for this year was to be better at creating little get togethers for my girls and their pals.

Valentines Day seemed like the perfect opportunity.

So on Friday we had a little Valentine card making party!


First we had to put up some festive decor.

 I was SO proud of myself because I actually used my sewing machine to make a few garlands
So nerdy proud, that I actually had my daughter take a picture of me sewing.

 I just had to document this rare occasion.
And I'm just a really big nerd.

These  hearts make fun shadows!

Once the decor was up we laid out the supplies.




And of course treats were involved.





We did have a healthy lunch involving heart shaped pb&j's as well- but crafting made some starvin' girls and they gobbled them up before I could take pics.

These girls are creative!
It was so sweet to listen to them chat as they crafted.





It was a delightful afternoon!

And now I get to have a momma craft night tonight with my girlfriends!
I'm off to create some chocolate concoctions! 


Do you need a night with girlfriends?

Get it on the calendar girl!

  1. Adorable! And look at you go on that sewing machine!! I'm so proud of you. Sewing paper is one of my favorite things. I did some paper sewing last week and hope to share soon :) So.........those garlands. I need the scoop. Did you sew it to ribbon? I can't really tell from the picture. And are those doilies or die cuts? Now, I'm being a huge nerd!

  3. Love the garlands you made...are they made with doilies? For the past three years I have had a Valentine's Day party for Juliana and some of her little friends but with her being in Kindergarten this year a party is not going to happen...just can't fit one in. I am so sad because this is one of my favorite holidays so we are going to have our own little family party.:)

    Have fun at your craft night out!!
