Land's "Owl" be your Valentine-
I love his sense of humor. Each owl needed a Mario Brothers moustache so he changed his beaks, and added flair to some of the girl ones. He also liked to make the eyes go all crazy.

Any one that knows me, knows that I love Valentines Day. This year I thought it would be especially fun to make our own Valentine Cards for the kids and their classmates. I perused the internet for inspiration and came up with a cute owl theme. I was concerned that it might be a hard sell to the kids, but they loved the idea. So I took to quickly getting the supplies, when reality suddenly hit. Now I am no Math expert, but I knew that at five hearts per card, and 50 cards to make, that I had just got myself into a lot of miserable heart cutting. Please won't someone restrain me the next time that I get a bright idea? There is a reason that kids don't just put conversation hearts into the little paper envelopes where every card and candy heart had been hand picked for each of their little friends like we did growing up. It is a lot of work when you can go to the store and buy a box of cards with two saying choices and the candy already attached. Lucky for me I remembered the generous offer of my favorite Aunt Teana from my last post offering to let me borrow her Cricut. Saved from hours of countless heart cutting, and we finally got to work.
It was actually a fun activity. My kids love to do crafts, and are really rather creative, and proud of their creations, in case you couldn't see it in the picture below.
