{alternate title: Because timely recaps don't happen here.}
Fidget embraced the Making part of Valentine's day this year. I dragged out a bunch of supplies from my stash of paper and whatnots and we went to town.
Doilies? Check. Stickers? Check. Rubber stamp hearts? Check. Sparkly pom-poms? Check. (Why do I have those?) Bakers twine? Check. I also printed out her name and cut it out so she could just glue her 'signature' on each Valentine.
Teachers got theirs wrapped around a box of Starbucks chocolates.
Friends got little bags of cookies and gummy lifesavers. Fidge was adamant about making cookies for her class this year. Hubs helped her decorate them.
Think they got enough sugar on each cookie? These make my teeth hurt, just looking at them.
I also came across these little cutters at Target last week (2.99!) and used them to make some X's and O's out of the remaining dough once I had enough ginormous hearts for her class. I can see whole batches of these next year.
I love Target. I'd give it a valentine if I could.

And then there is this:
Good heavens, is this a beauty. A baby blanket (rather gender neutral, I think) picked up thrifting last week. Or the week before? I can't remember. Anyway, I just love the colors in this one. It's like the person who made this knew what I needed in that nursery that hasn't happened yet. Hooray.
I have more photos and things to post, I promise. It's the getting-to-it part that is hard. I have been sneaking breaks to check in on all of you, but haven't allowed myself time to comment. The job thingy is kind of crazy-busy this week. That's just how it goes sometimes.
xoxo (in cookies, if you like)
