'Lil Cupid

It was time to bring out the red, the candy and the love! Making crafts with the Princess has always been a treat, but it's much more fun when classmates and a special teacher are involved. I gave Skyler a few options regarding gifts for Valentine's Day and she chose the, "I Dig You!" craft. We created these last year using plastic shovels, colorful M & M's, clear bags and a homemade tag. The only changes we implemented were 12 shovels of the same color (red) and a much cuter tag. Unfortunately, my scanner did not pick up "Your Friend" in pink ink that is located above Sky's name, but as you can see below, they turned out adorable.

 Sky filled all 12 bags herself. 11 for her classmates and 1 for her long time friend, Clayton Knowles.

 Fun, Fun, Fun!

All 12 are bags were filled with love, so then it was time to tie each one and include the gift tag. I assisted during this task.

 Wa-LAH!!!

Next came addressing the envelopes for Skyler's personalized Valentine's day cards. Each classmate received one and our 'lil cupid enjoyed writing everyone's name. 

 Sweet sample.....

Skyler was so excited to hand out her Valentine's Day gifts the very next morning. Of course, we did not forget our fabulous teacher, Mrs. Fitzsimmons.

We bought her a, "I Love You" balloon and a teddy bear that held a Baskin Robbins ice cream gift card.

Such a cute story behind the creation of this gift. Skyler said, "Mummy, I love Mrs. Fitzsimmons more than ice cream and that's a lot of love!" I knew at that moment a trip to a certain ice cream specialty shoppe was in order......

Along with this gift tag....

There ya have it, Valentine's Day 2014. Since the class was hosting a Ball, Skyler wore her favorite red dress from Auntie Nicola and Uncle Bogie.

 Love is definitely in the air!

After Sky's wonderful day at school, I enjoyed spending the remainder of the day with my two very favorite Valentines. Life sure is SWEET and I am certainly one blessed Lady!!
