Top Picks: Handmade Gifts to Touch The Heart

I consider myself a crafty person…until I log on to Pinterest. Holy cow! If you gauge your creativity by the millions of things on those boards, it is WAY hard to measure up. Even something as simple as Valentine’s for a 2nd grader have become a craft project. This is where I earned an “Uncrafty Mommy Award” the other night.

As always, our yearly tradition is to choose a box of Valentine’s from the local store. It gets narrowed down to which spiderman box includes the coolest treat. This year my 8 year old chose the ones with spidey head erasers. Thinking we are SUPER cool we head to the check out. There, in front of us, is a mom with a cart full of candies, colorful paper, glue sticks, pixie sticks, rubber bands, pompoms and so much more. While checking out she describes her daughter’s class Valentine’s….and I start doubting our box choice. Then she looks at me, our box of Valentines and asked if I’d heard of Pinterest.

People say strange things to me…really, they do.

Next year maybe we should do these SUPER Valentine’s. Aren’t they amazing?
