Angry Birds Valentines

Well, it is most likely my last year for school Valentines. My youngest is in 5th grade, once in middle school they really don't do anything for Valentine's Day anymore. So my son wanted Angry Birds. We found some simple Valentine cards online from Angry Birds. Then, to add candy, we put stickers on the bottoms of Hershey Kisses. Bagged, tagged, and ready to go!

Valentine's 2010- The Big Bang Theory

As you may have seen in previous years, my kids always want geek style Valentines the likes of which never exist in stores. Well, this year was no different. My boys wanted Big Bang Theory themed ones. I have many components gathered and ready to make them, but because of some unforeseen computer issues, and an unexpectedly emotional reaction to the anniversary of my sister passing away, I don't feel I will get them out/made before Valentine's day. I did however find some great ones that I may use that someone else made. She did an awesome job, so if you're looking for some clever Big Bang Theory Valentines this year check out defyprobability's on livejournal Or if you are looking for my Doctor Who (1 or 2) or Mario themed ones feel free to check those out also!

Valentines

I know this is probably way too late to really help anyone, but I'm actually trying to think a year ahead. There are some amazing Valentine ideas out there in blogland and I wanted to highlight a few of my favorites so next year I can find them easily. Also sometimes ideas like these can be used for party favors, end of school gifts, Halloween, Christmas, or who knows when you need little gift/card ideas.
Here are some of my favorites that I have found. If you have found some great ideas, please post them in the comments!

Mario Valentines

As we did last year with our Dr Who Valentines (page 1 & page 2). We made up some Mario Bros. Valentines. We usually cut these out and then put them on a bag of microwave popcorn. Easy, everyone can use it, and fairly cute. If you want to use them go for it, click on the image and it will take you to my flickr site. Then you click on the "All Sizes" tab, and go to original size. Save it and print it. It should be about the size of a piece of paper. I used free desktop wallpapers to make them. Some of the sayings are awful! A couple we certainly won't be using for school, but my husband thought it was funny. Anyway, enjoy!

Doctor Who Valentines Page 2

I am completely surprised at the huge response I have gotten at these. I have the second page done. I think I will have at least one more partial page before Valentines Day.

Dr Who Valentines

My sons requested Dr Who Valentines this year. Well, living in the US, we don't have a whole lot of Doctor Who things, so I had to come up with something. Here is page one. I will be uploading at least one more page. They can be printed out on cardstock for postcards, etc... I'll show you what we're doing with ours in a few days.








Feel free to use this for your own Dr Who/Valentine needs. You can get the image here.
