Curtain of Hanging Hearts

Cut out different size hearts out of construction

paper and then tape them to different lengths of ribbon. On each heart write encouraging words or sweet valentine sentiments and always an "I love you" and a "I love being your mommy". Then hang them in the doorway of your children's room so that when they wake up in the morning they see this as soon as they walk through their door.

Pink and Red Inspiration

Without any ideas, my children and I gather everything pink and red from the "Craft Cupboard". The result are a collection of sweet Valentine's Day cards using construction paper, old greeting cards, buttons, stamps, and stickers. We used hot glue and glue sticks, scissors and a white gel pens as our tools to complete the project.
