Valentines day card – Free download!

Add a little note to your Valentines Day gift with our love heart card! The card measures about 3×3 inches.

Download card

Note: I cutout the envelope from the template then traced it onto scrapbooking  paper.

The photo on the card itself are of these darling crochet hearts from Vouge Kntting I made for the Little Peanut to give to her daddy this Valentines day.  If you’re a crocheter you still have time to whip up a few! It took me about 40 minutes to make three and that’s including the embroidery time.

Leave Santa a note!

When I was young, my sister and I would leave out cookies and milk for Santa. We would also write him a little thank you note or some years leave a “Don’t eat these Dad, they’re for Santa!” sign. Making these reminded me of those younger years and of the older ones where we would remind each other to eat the cookies before our younger brother woke up!

A time for thanks

When I was young I remember my family waiting for the Thanksgiving Day Star Tribune (our local newspaper) to arrive. My mom of course was waiting for the ads and coupons to plan her Black Friday agenda. My sister and I on the other hand were waiting for the annual Thanksgiving coloring turkey. It was a lot of fun to each take a section of the turkey to color and I’m sure my mom enjoyed having us out of her hair while she prepared the feast.

I had completely forgotten about the coloring turkey until a few years ago when my nephew recruited me to help him color the page. For those of you who do not have the Star Tribune embe has created our own Thanksgiving Day coloring turkey!

Thanksgiving coloring turkey!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
