Fact: School craft projects make me happy


Last year for Valentines Day my daughter’s class held a contest for best box. Thanks again to my crafty pal Bre (I really owe her big time for always opening her craft room to us) Kysa pulled it off in a major way. Her box was the cutest, so clever. Sadly, her classmate made some fancy cupcake box and took the loot leaving Kysa in second place. DOH !! So back to Bre’s house we go to pillage her fantasy paper room filled with more goodness than any scrapper/paper artist could ever dream for a chance at vindication in the 2011 valentine’s box showdown. Here is last years gem :

Wasnt that Cute? All the sweat and toil for nothing ! Okay so maybe I am a bit Dramatic.
This year though, WATCHOUT ...
Its all about the "Loveboat" The SS KYSA has pulled into port folks!!  
Its Kysa's year for a Valentine Blue Ribbon, I feel it in my bones! But even if not... It is so fun to do these projects with her. With any of my kids. I feel like a kid again and I love spending that time with them, watching them get ideas and be excited, seeing things through their eyes.
And again not wanting them to grow up,
*sigh*
Here it is ! Looks Awesome



Fingers crossed for Kysa
You can get cool ideas and learn how to make your own love boat here.
Happy Valentines !

UPDATE:
Kysa Won !!! WOOT WOOT !!
She got a lil teddy bear and thought it was sorta cheezy, LOL, but at least she won after all her hard work!
