Cute Valentines for Boys!

Anybody waiting until the last minute to get their kid's Valentines ready for school Monday?  Thankfully, my girls are old enough to fill out their own.  However, Mr. Two had his Valentine's party Friday, b/c he doesn't go to preschool on Mondays.  So Thursday night, I was busy getting his cards together.  Because that's how I roll.  I work best under pressure.  Or I've just been too tired to give a crap, take your pick.  Little Miss Sunshine right here. 

Lucky for me, there are some very creative bloggers out in the blogosphere, who not only had their Valentine's stuff done early, but then blogged about them and offered free printables!  I heart you peoples. 

I happened upon such a blog just the other day, and I'm so glad I did, b/c she has some very cute stuff - including, yes, you guessed it....Valentine cards for little boys :D  I knew as soon as I saw it that I was going to "borrow" it.  And bless her heart, she had a free printable to make my stealing of her idea totally effortless.  So let me give awesome homegirl the credit...she is Mique from 30 handmade days.  Check out her completely adorable blog.  (Because I wouldn't have come up with this idea on my own.)

I "wheelie" like you...how cute is that?! 
I found these cute little soft trucks/cars that were 2/1.00 at The Dollar Tree and added a couple of suckers.  I didn't have any card stock paper, so I printed them out and glued them on construction paper.  I thought they turned out super cute.  Definitely the cutest in the class.  Not that I was comparing my kid's Valentine's to the other lame ones.  My girls however, have over 20 kids in their classes, so they are giving out regular 'ol store bought Nerds Valentines.

I posted the preschool teacher's Valentine's gift yesterday.  (The Valentine Candy Bark with the pink marshmallows.)  So, we'll probably do something similar for the girls' teachers too.  Anyway, just thought I'd share.  Maybe it will inspire someone like Mique did me.  30 handmade days also has a cute Valentine for girls if you're interested.

AND - I have a giveaway going on for Sahale Snacks that ends Wednesday.  You should go enter! (<--just click and it will take you right to the post! Come on, it's easy!)  These snacks are awesome - Nut blends that have several sweet and spicy unique flavors.  Healthy snack options that lasted all of 9.6 seconds at my house!

AND - I have TWO more giveaways coming up very soon....TBA :)

AND - interested in Saturday/weekend blog hops?  Here's a few.  If you have others that you'd like for me to add to the list, just let me know!
