Valentines day is coming up and I am excited! Now that I have a usable craft area and some time, I wanted to make a homemade, creative and fun set of cards for my son to hand out to his classmates, like I did when he was a toddler.
Mid January, I have plenty of time and I have a plan. I have the design created and ready to go in my silhouette software, I have plenty of red pattern paper and ribbon to use, Amazon already delivered the twisty puzzle toys to go with it, and it’s easy print and cut, so I am good to go. I will complete it closer to the due date……..
The week it is due –
Monday – It’s a snow day, let’s just play outside today! It was cold, let me make homemade chicken soup, I’ll get the cards done tomorrow.
Tuesday – Another snow day! I’m so tired playing in the snow, and shoveling it the past two days, let’s watch a movie and cuddle. I will do the cards while he’s in school tomorrow.
Wednesday – He’s back in school! I can have the day to myself. Watch some DIY – ‘One of a Kind’ wait, she put wallpaper on the ceiling? It looks amazing! And yes, I should do that to my dinning room. Let’s look at wallpaper online. Baseball lessons tonight, I will work on the cards tomorrow.
Thursday (DUE TO SCHOOL TOMORROW)–
9:00 am – I need to finish looking for wallpaper so I can get that ordered. It shouldn’t take long……(Do you know how many wallpaper patterns are out there? and yet none matched the one she used in the show!)
4:45 pm – What! It is time for Ninja Class, when did you get home from school? I didn’t even see you walk in….go, go, go!
6:30 pm – Now that we are home, we have to get those cards made, they are due tomorrow. It will not take long, come help me …………………….
Well, it took forever! My husband made dinner, son went to bed, and I was still working on them. I didn’t think about the paper size I was using was not printer sized paper and therefore I could not do that. Then I thought I could just cut the words – nope too small and was taking forever to weed out all the letters. I will just use the pen feature. The pens I had that fit in the machine were out of ink, and I couldn’t find the pen holder for my other pens. What am I going to do?! Grab a sharpie and a hot glue gun!
