Ella was VERY excited when I explained that we would be making Valentine’s surprises for her friends at school. Even though she had no idea what that meant, once she knew paint and candy were involved, she was all in! Since I was scheduled to be out of town for work this week {it turns out I’m in town after all}, we started working on them several weeks ago. She has been very upset everyday that she’s been to school since then because I wouldn’t let her take them.
All it took was 10 plastic cups, pink basket grass, cellophane bags, pink tulle, Reese’s hearts and Hershey’s kisses. Then we cut cardstock into 2 inch by 3 inch pieces and sponge painted red hearts onto them. I went back and wrote “Be mine” and “love, ella” and we tied them to the tops of our cups. How sweet.
