Super Cute Valentine Idea
Every year, I get really excited about Valentine’s. This holiday gives me a great excuse to get knee deep in crafting and at the same time, spend wonderful quality time with my kids. My son is 13 and is now way past Valentine’s so my efforts are concentrated with my 4 year old and 6 year old girls. Now, Ella’s class is big and no candy or goodies are allowed at her school so I have yet to determine what I will be doing for her… but I have a feeling a card from the Costco Photo Center might be in order.
Gracie’s class, on the other hand, has just a handful of kids so I plan to get a little crazy. I just found this fantastic idea in Better Homes and Gardens just this morning. You make cute little love notes, like fortune cookie notes, and put them in ice cream cones toped with chocolate and meringue cookies. Isn’t that fun? I will be looking for cute little scriptures to put in each one…. Love is patient, love is kind… great stuff like that. And, of course, I will deck the little pieces of paper out with some digital scrapbook flair. I can just envision these cute cones wrapped in cellophane. And Gracie and I are sure to have a blast making them! I will likely make them for Ella’s teachers too or she might feel ultra left out.
Here’s a link to the full article. Take note of slides 3-6 for the complete instructions. Enjoy!
Looking at all of these ice cream cones brings me back to being a child delighted with those sweets. For kids like yours that theme is just awesome and appropriate for them to enjoy.
