Tackle It Tuesday – Valentine’s Cards

This is my first Tackle It Tuesday and I tackled clearning off my treadmill so that I can actually walk on it.

This is my first Tackle it Tuesday. This sure is great motivation. I tackled my messy kitchen cabinet.

Thankfully my kids don’t have a Valentines Day Card exchange at their school, it’s hard enough to getting all the Christmas cards written and distributed

Jackson does look like he is having fun though

Have a great week,

I need to tackle Valentine related stuff too.

Good job Jackson! Good job mom Janice

We don’t do Valentine exchange anymore as of this year, sixth grade, but I am making my husband a homemade card. I have my supplies. I need some inspiration. I am really going to tackle it tomorrow since I only have two days! Today, I posted a tackle of the kitchen because orgjunkie is hosting kitchen month.

Simple is good! Perhaps I should try simple!

My son’s doing the Transformer cards for his class too! His teacher forbade any candy, though.

My daughter is doing Sponge Bob cards that came with suckers. I love it when there’s not much more to do than for the kids to sign their names. My daughter would be more creative but with my son, I end up doing most of the work.

We did the Valentines cards over the weekend! The kids wrote them out and I inserted the tattoos that came with them! I knew if we didn’t get them done on the weekend we would be stressing to do them between homework and activities during the week!

I’m not sure what I’ll tackle today because the kids are home due to snow….

Oh yes, we are doing the Valentines here too!

This is my first Tackle It Tuesday and I’m doing valentines with my daughter TODAY. Thanks for the inspiration!

i didn’t actually mean to join this today, lol only to leave a comment! my dd is so into the “littlest pet shop” right now too. looks like you guys are doing a great job!

Way to go! Both my boys have valentine exchanges. We did my 3-yr-old son’s this weekend (valentines with a dum dum lollipop on it) for his preschool class. We haven’t done my 7-yr-old’s ones yet for his 1st grade class, but they are sports valentines with a chocolate sports ball to attach.

Our tackle this week was putting in bunk beds in the boys’ room

Hey all! We homeschool, so we don’t participate in a traditional valentine exchange BUT this year we did do something special for the Grandparents. Somewhere out there on the www is a page that lists a bunch of US cities whose names reflect a holiday… one of the ones for Valentine’s Day was Loveland CO. We made up Valenitine’s using my youngest’s fingerprint, sealed them, addresses them and then sent them to: Postmaster, Loveland, CO 80537 with a note asking to please cancel with their holiday postmark and remail. My mom, who is vacationing in Florida, got hers yesterday and she was thrilled! Now, it takes a while… about a week and a half to make it through the mail, so you can’t do it for Vday this year, but I’ll go list some others on my blog for upcoming holidays (I’ve already taken up enough space here!
Happy holidays… all of them!

I miss the Valentine’s Day card exchanges now that we homeschool, though sometimes my boys make Valentine’s to distribute at Awana. I always thought that was so fun.

Our tackle involved 1000 pizzas this week.

Yep, we tackled these over the weekend too – cards for both girls’ classes at school, plus cards from each of them for all of the kids at daycare. Hannah still needs to finish up the daycare ones.

My ‘tackle’ for this week was my blog move – still a work in progress..

We did our valentines for both my girls classes, over the weekend as well. They’re homemade, so I do commend my very patient 6 and 8 yr old, tho the 6 yr old needed ALOT more help cutting hers out then the oldest did.

I just found out yesterday that the final tally for our homeschool group’s Valentine exchange is over 40 kids! I’m going to go the simple route too and only make homemade cards for cousins and a few neighborhood friends.

So much to do!

As much as I like the home made valentine’s, the pre-made ones are such time savers. We still need to get to the store to get some for my daughter! It’s on my new to-do list.

What cute pictures! My 1st grader tackled his on Saturday. He had to do them “all by himself”. It kind of made me sad….

I tackled the top of the fridge today. Whew, that was a project. You can read about it at EssentialFamilyLiving.

This is my 1st T-it-Tuesday and I tackled dinner tonight (before 5pm and menus for the rest of the month!! THANKS for sharing your v-day cards… cute– I loved Hasbro’s Shrek (sour green apple gummy hearts) & the Paper Magic Group HELLO KITTY! (strawberry gummy hearts)– for my toddlers V-day playdate– what a great idea!

Back in the swing of Tackle It Tuesday! Thanks, Janice!

Oh, lordy, we need to do that, too. Mine is 9-years-old, and isn’t too fond of sitting and writing 28 cards, either. I bought the cards last week and I’ve been nudging him a little each day. But with only two days to go, time for a full-on push!

I’m working on a sewing project today. Needed a break from all the painting and stuff. lol Thanks for the encouragement!

I did that last night with my daughter using doilies and cards with suckers. Dash made his out cut them out and then put all the names on them. He wants to do a fancier job tonight. So I will enjoy doing this again tonight.Your boy looks so happy. He is beautiful (handsome):)

Making progress on all these file folders! Thanks for the inspiration. Nina

I made the cutest pop up Valentine…saw it on the Martha Stewart Show and included it in my post…

I have the link for the template so you can make one too…super easy and super fun…

Cheers,
Diana

We homeschool. We did a small homeschool party but nothing big. We are working on cards for family. My oldest loves making them so I don’t have to do to much. Happy Valentine Card Making

I made a combo Valentine and Chinese New Year red envelope to give to my nieces and nephews last weekend when my siblings’ and their families came over for dinner.

Thank you for this FABULOUS idea! Mine is posted!

i remember how excited i used to get about getting valentine’s at school. then i remembered that we were required to make one for everybody in the class.

Awww…exchanging Valentines in grade school…good times, good times. I remember Mom always helping me make the cutest homemade boxes for them.

I created my girls valentines on my StoryBook Creator Plus software from Creative Memories. I placed my girls pictures on there and a little note and printed them like pictures. I wasn’t able to place them on this comment page, but if you go to my blog, you can check them out!! It made it sooooo easy
