Monday is Valentine's Day. Big Whoop. It's never been a holiday that I've cared all that much about. But, my 10 year old has to make valentines for each student in her class each year. She doesn't like to just buy something, but is instead creative. So this year she used seaglass, a princess tree flower, and moss on a garden pathway to take a photo. She made cards with this photo on them and a message to each student inside. I think it's pretty cool!

What a lovely and different way to express a V.Day sentiment.
Diane--thank you! She (we) had fun making it
What a great idea! I like the violet-blue color too; it's a nice change from pink.
Ah, lovely!
She is very creative! This is a wonderful idea.
Oh, that IS cool...and so creative! Love that, and I'll bet the recipients will enjoy it more than a Hallmark card.
Here's my SATURDAY SNAPSHOT
Wow, that is so thoughtful. We picked up Shrek valentine cards at Target. I feel so inadequate now lol j/k, but that was so creative :)
Wow, I wish I was that creative when I was young - it's adorable! And the colors are beautiful. :)
Trish--She thought the purple was a nice change, too, especially since she has to give it to boys as well as girls
K and JL--Thank you!
Laurel-Rain--Each year she gets good feedback, which is nice
Julia--Shrek is one of our favorites! Awesome choice
Jenn--Thank you, it really was a fun activity
What a smart, creative young lady!

Great picture! I love the color contrast. Homemade valentines are always so much more fun to give!

Bermuda--I really try to encourage the arts beyond just her dancing and she is very receptive
Sherrie--I think it's always scary to give something you've created yourself so I hope they go over well
Bev--I loved your collection of favorites in your photo
She is a budding artist! Most 10 year olds just want the same old cards from the store.
How neat!! She could be a famous artist one day!
Leslie and Ellie--I would love it if my daughter is a budding artist! I could fill my house with wonderful art
I would love to get something so creative! Very nice.
I have always loved creative and homemade cards best...they're so much more personable :)
Debbie and Peppermint--I agree completely
