I
thought Martha's idea of cellophane bags stuffed with treats with matching clip-art was really cute, but the candy was too hard for
Benjamin and his little friends. So, I unabashedly stole a similar idea
from Creative Party Idea’s by Cheryl (thanks, Cheryl!). I wasn’t able
to use her template, I have no idea why, so I just made my own and eye-balled the whole thing. They didn’t come out too badly.
Now, a day before Valentine’s day, I’m thinking - Starburst?? They’re two and under - can you think of a candy more appropriate for little guys just mastering feeding themselves? Yes, that’s a fail. They’re done now, so apparently, I made Valentine’s treats for all of Benjamin’s friends’ parents. Oh, well. I hope they like them.
I
was also was going make Martha’s version of 3-D valentine’s day cards.
Benjamin loves trains. Actually that’s an understatement, he is
obsessed with trains. Perfect, right? Wrong. I printed this out from
the template about three weeks ago and it has sat here ever since.
It’s my nemesis. I don’t know why. It’s just a little boring. Could I
have colored it? Yes. I didn’t. I finally folded the paper in half,
but that didn’t inspire me either. Surprised? No, I’m not either. So
instead I went out and bought this card for Benjamin. Yes, you didn't misread and it wasn’t a
typo, I bought a card - may lightning strike me now.
...and Benjamin's going to love it.

May it inspire you more than it did me.
