OH yeah…Valentine Crafts

OK so I forgot….forgot about Valentines day, and kinda jumped right into spring!

Maybe the fact that every store now has bathing suites and shorts and sandals for sale might be the reason why I forgot. I mean it is only minus 36 here in Manitoba.

Oh how I long for Spring…WAIT…OH how I long for Summer…this time I will try my best not to blink, that is what happened to me last year. I was just getting used to the hot summer days and BANG…I blinked and it was over!

There I go again rambling about Spring and Summer and forgetting about Valentines Day.

Why such the big hype anyways? When you are little, in school they MAKE you give out Valentines to your class mates, Praying that you get more than two cards and one of them ends up being from the teacher!

Now they send you home a class list and tell you, you have to give to all of your class mates or don’t give at all…I can see why. Oh such a great feeling of love knowing that your classmates were forced in giving you those cards.

Oh and dont forget the little cupcakes!! Well this part I can handle, I dont mind doing this and the kids love to help.

But when do you draw the line….My oldest is in grade 7…and praying he does not have to give out cards this year..last year in grade six he did. how embarrassing, being twelve years old and having to give one of your guy buddies a “will you be mine” card….poor kids!

As for adults and Valentines Day…just give me the dam chocolate and everything will be OK.

Man I sound like a prude…I just think it is sooo over rated, and yes  before you ask, I am married and have a wonderful relationship….BUT I don’t need a special day to tell my hubby that I love him!

I am however looking forward to Valentines Day…when it is all over, I get to go out and buy all the yummy discounted chocolate the very next day…mmmm, I can hardly wait!

And to get you all in the mood here is a lasting flower bouquet I made out of buttons…to me this is worth more than dying flowers on Valentines Day.

Back to school soon!!

As much as I love summer and spending it with the boys…am I glad it is coming to an end soon!

This summer we had the boys busy with swimming lessons,lacrosse and camp.

Now that it has started to slow down a bit..well lets just say they are driving me CRAZY!!

I miss my afternoon naps..yes at 32 I have a nap and I love it!!

With the kids going back to school,I as well will be joining them, I work at my youngest sons school as the lunch program supervisor, It is a shared position with a good friend of mine. I have been doing this since they both started school..and even tho at times it is very crazy, I love them to bits!

It is such a boost when you come into school and the kids are sooo happy to see you.

The past couple of days I have been making some Reusable fabric napkins for my family and friends and even a couple to put in my shop

Seeing how fall is soon approaching us I have started to make some scarfs for the wee little ones.

More items to follow as more ideas keep popping into my head….like when I am sleeping

Have a great night!!

Smiles,
