Welcome to the “Love Me Do” Valentine’s Blog Hop! This week, January 16th-20th, we have a group of 5 talented designers sharing projects with you on their blogs to get you prepared for the upcoming season of love! Whether you use these designs to create something for your loved ones or spring-board off the inspirations given, we would love to see your work as well, so leave a comment on the blogs as you go through.
On January 24th, we will be giving away a
collection of goodies from the group to one lucky participant. The giveaway will be hosted through filling
out a Google Docs form, on Live.Teach.Create on
January 20th, asking various questions about the posts throughout
the week. All those who enter with the
correct answers will have a chance to win!
And now on to my project for today!
It never failed in grade school that sometime in the week leading up to Valentine's Day, every class would make a mailbox of sorts out of a paper bag or shoe box. Then on Valentine's Day each student would set their mailbox up on their desk and wait for everyone to pass out Valentines.
I can almost remember it like it was yesterday.
Each student went from desk to desk - mostly because the teacher made a rule that if you brought one Valentine you needed to bring them for all classmates - depositing their Spiderman or Troll - yes, I was a kid of the 90s - Valentine's. After everyone was done, sugary treats were consumed and Valentine cards were eagerly opened.
Ahhh the memories.
It's too bad things have changed as we've gotten older - at least according to the calender. Giving and receiving those cute little cards used to be something to look forward to. It spiced up the short, yet boring, month of February.
This Valentine's Day, why let little kids have all the fun? It's easy peasy to make your own! You can even make them the same size as the ones we all remember.
