Ahhhh.... Amor....

I spent 4 dollars on the boxes and used some scrap paper I had.


Is this cute of what?! I don't know if you can tell what they are from my horrid picture but they are the cutest Valentine's idea ever! One of my resolutions for the new year is to start our own family traditions, and I decided this is going to be one of them. I got this idea from studiocalico the whole month of January is dedicated to Valentine's stuff, so they have awesome ideas to craft for the family. Anyway, they are the Target dollar spot miniature mailboxes, and I just covered them in coordinating paper and the idea is to make one for each member of the family, and in the weeks before Valentine's you can leave each other "love letters" or treats. I thought it was a sweet way for the kids to start celebrating the holiday and for Matthew to keep all his little Valentine's cards from school in one place. Cute huh? I also, thought that you could use this same idea for an FHE chart and the kids could take turns stuffing the mailboxes, or use only one mailbox to hold the night message. And you can tell the kids that is the message the Lord wants them to hear. Ok, that's all!
