Crafts! Valentines for Boys

I love to craft!! I really do. I like to do paper crafts, sewing, knitting, and just about anything else that I can find out there. I thought it would be nice to start sharing some of my crafting on this here bloggity blog, just to mix it up :) So with that here's the first craft blog!

I started a home school group for my boys to have some outings with and we just completed our first month. It is going to be such a blessing to my family. We are going to have a valentine party as one of our outings this month and I have been sorely disappointed by the valentine options out there! Have you ever tried to find cute BOY valentines? Well it is not easy. Everything is all cutesy and heart covered or waay to "lovey", and not in a good way. I'm not trying to get my boys married off just yet and that's what lots of the valentines out there seem to be trying to do! I thought about having them make their own but, well, my boys are not crafters just yet. They'd rather hunt or build fires than color and cut hearts. So off I went in search of something I could make for the boys. I found a couple of cute things and wanted to share what I settled on in case any of you have valentine parties to prepare for in the near future.

I got both of the wording ideas off the internet and just designed these in photoshop. Linc's is the fishing one and Bear's is, of course, the Bear hug which will be filled with teddy grahams. I also liked the fact that both goldfish and teddy grahams aren't laden with sugar like some of my other options out there. No, they're not organic but at least they aren't filled with loads of chemicals and sugars. I think they turned out really cute! I got the bags for Lincoln's fish valentines at Walmart and Bear's bag is actually a stash I had left over from making my wedding favors nearly six years ago! Yup, these little valentines will do the trick!
