Thinking outside the box with Valentines

I love to create and think outside the box.  Usually my ideas are simple yet also original. For example:
 Let me tell you about a recent outing with my daughter Cassandra.  
In the beginning of February, my daughter Cassandra wanted to make a special Valentine box for her school party.  The kit that we were going to buy was sold out.  As a result, we decided to walk around Michael's craft store and find another craft to keep her busy and a cute box for valentine cards.  
We came up with the perfect solution.  We bought a simple wood bucket to paint and decorate.  Cassandra also loves turtles.  We painted the bucket a bright pink and glued turtles and hearts on the side.  We also bought matching ribbon and attached a sign that said
"My Heart Belongs to Turtles"
Like I said before, a simple solution, but a cute one.  The bucket has a great handle and classmates can drop the Valentine in the bucket instead of trying to put it into a small opening of a box.  
Good luck coming up with your own creative project!

  1. Hi Michelle, I'm thinking people in Utah are already familiar with your kits, but do you have a link or something to more information that elaborates on what you're doing or offering?
