It's funny how traditions start.
One year I wanted the kids to help me make our Christmas cards. Except Zach and the twins were only 5 and 4 at the time and could basically color and make a big mess. Since I didn't want the Christmas cards to be a big mess, I went with their other talent. I printed Christmas themed clip art and resized coloring book pages onto plain white cards with their names on the back. After they colored a card, they circled their name as the artist. Besides being kinda "aw cute!", it kept them entertained and I didn't have to try to get 5 kids to look good for a photo.
And a tradition was born.
Now every one looks forward to the cards and it's entertaining to me that they personally keep track of whose card they've received each year. (I just put the colored cards in a stack and basically it's luck of the draw as I stuff and address the envelopes.) Kyle and Kelly are now in on the fun and Christmas 2007 will be our 5th year.
I'm getting to the point, I promise.
I meant to sell the preprinted Christmas/holiday cards (minus my kids' names) on Etsy.com but December last year was insane for me. So instead I'm offering a Valentine's Day version:
DIY Valentine's Day Cards! You'll receive 2 of 4 cute designs (or mix and match) for a total of 8 along with envelopes all for the lovely low price of $5 shipped (US).Sorry, child coloring labor not included.
