Sweet~Organic~Love


She did it again.

I wish I had one of those clever photo editing packages that would let me make collages. It'd be fun to see these three images in a side-by-side line up, or as a photo-booth strip.

Our funny Valentine... 2012


These take very little effort to make. It's a good reminder of how much she has grown since the first time we made these together, because it was quicker and easier than ever before. I was prepared for this to require a lot of time to finish, but now she is seven, and her skills are refined, she's focused. The printing was the only slow part. So with Trader Joe's organic and dye free lollies, and Maria's heart-bursting-with love... first grade Valentine's Day love was a cinch!

We hope you have a creative, sweet, and heart-bursting-with love Valentine's Day.

So cute!! Please tell Maria I love her Valentine's they are so sweet. Her classmates are going to love them!

Since I'm a sick girl - it's probably just as well that I can only send a big virtual hug. Happy Valentine's Day, Maria! You win my heart again and again! :)

I love these! Sweet hardly begins to describe it. A smile from Maria would make anyone's Valentine's Day special!

You two are brilliant!

I love these! I tried to make these but when I went to Whole Foods they were all out of lollipops! The nerve of those people! :) Maria makes a cute Valentine.

I remember this so clearly! So clever and inventive -- and super duper cute!

Ahhh, Janece! Here we are, and how is it ten years later, already? Thank you for stepping back in time with me.
You make me as happy as ever that our paths crossed, that we have had these years to raise our clever, inventive, super duper cute young folks together.
