Valentine's Day

There is something that I need to share with you.  I really need to get this off my chest.  Here it goes...




I'm a PINAHOLIC.  Yes. That's correct.  I am utterly and completely addicted to pinterest. I already expressed my love for Ben and his fabulous site when I showed you the BEST tasting cupcake ever! If loving Pinterest is wrong than I don't want to be right! (I think I just used that cliche' a couple posts ago. Oh well.)


I have seen sooo many brilliant ideas for Valentine's.  Since the big kids are too BIG to give them out, I showed my overflowing Valentine inspiration board on Pinterest to Peyton and she picked the one with the lollipop.  I'm sure most of you have seen it, it's super cute for sure!  Here's how I did it just in case it isn't obvious.  Because sometimes the most obvious things are not obvious to me! Also, let me apologize for this snapshot-ish photo, we were in a hurry because...well, I am a procrastinator! Jeez, pinaholic, procrastinator, what's next?!

take a photo with your child
 holding their clasped  hand out

Play with the image a little in
Photoshop and then send
it to picnik for even
more fun goodies!

This is the one we had printed for
the class Valentines.  You just punch
a hole at the top and bottom of the hand
Easy Peasy

I never ever ever should have
taken this photo with one of the
vertical boards in our board
and batten family room
growing out of her head

Partying here:
