This post is really for my sister today. She will not be following my pins on Pinterest because she is masterful at setting boundaries for her life and has the willpower to not get sucked into cyber space (unlike her younger sister). Basically, she isn’t enabling my new addiction, which I still have yet to admit is a problem! But sometimes I find something that screams cuteness and makes me feel compelled to share it with my sister. So here are a few of my finds for you sis and for anyone else looking for some inspiration.

Valentine Round-up: All of these were created by some very talented bloggers, and they are all available for us to use from their sites for little to no cost. Don’t you love not reinventing the wheel?

Seriously, where is my Mr. Darcy? My sister will appreciate this 8×10 print since she is in agreement that Pride and Prejudice is the best novel ever written. I think I am going to frame this and put it in my room until my Mr. Darcy. shows up. This print, from Etsy, does cost money, but totally worth it!

These are SO cute. Gumballs with the printable label designed by Love the Day. Kate from CupKate’sEventDesign sells these clear packaging tubes in 8″, 10″, and 12″ on her site, as well as other fun packaging products.

Love this card… For some of us this means we love the person A LOT!

These milk cartons are made from a free printable at The Sweetest Occasion. They’re the perfect little treat filled with some homemade cookies.

This card maker is kind of clever. You go to the site, type in your message, and it puts your message in a heart template. I think little ones would have fun making these for their grandparents and other special people.

Goldfish valentines …so simple and so cute! The pillow boxes can be ordered online at Papermart. I’ve really liked all of the products I’ve gotten from Papermart. They have a huge selection.

Don’t you always see millions of these at Michaels in the check-out line for practically nothing? Really, don’t you wonder how many billion of these glow sticks exist. This freebie is on The Teacher Wife Blog.

I haven’t seen this ball valentine idea before, but I do know kids love all of the little crap. Sorry, I don’t know what else to call it (and crap is not considered a bad word in my house).  Post birthday party, in our house, we dump out the favor bag, look at all of the fun crap we’ve gotten, never ever play with the crap, but refuse to part with it, and then it somehow magically disappears once the boy has forgotten about it.

This one is simple and can be personal to your valentine. It’s a fill in the blank treat bag. I love you more than ______________ loves _____________.

These soda sayings are other fun ones I hadn’t seen before.

I also like the “Keep Calm” print because lord knows I need to be reminded to keep calm on a regular basis. This Saturday is the biggest event of the year that I coordinate. We are testing over 1200 kids, double what our big day normally is. I’m praying I can keep calm and trust that things will go smoothly. By the way, rain is predicted Saturday… 2400+ wet children and parents. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! I hope you’ve set aside at least a little time to do something for yourself!
