Valentine's exchange is coming

I remember staying up late the night before Valentine's Day most years growing up... pain- stakingly cutting and gluing what seemed like innumerable hearts and doilies with my devoted mother. I'm sure there were cheesy little rectangular cards that could be purchased back then too. Those lack individuality and creativity though. So, in preparation for Monday's big party, we filled this afternoon with coloring and cutting and hot gluing even. They turned out simple, but cute and at least the chocolates with be appreciated.
Bennett's were similar with chocolates that had cute conversation heart sayings on them... UR Cute, Be Mine, Hottie! and other really appropriate things for kindergarteners to say to each other.

So cute! I'm a huge fan of home made Valentines. I bet the kids had a blast putting them together.

I'm really impressed. I think about those homemade valentines we made growing up every year when I pick up the boxed ones at the store, but I haven't ever been ambitious enough to do them myself!
