Valentine's Day

 Hello everyone! Yes, I know this post is a bit late, but I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! Did you eat some good chocolate and candy?

I got this cool PEZ candy dispenser for Valentine's Day. It looks like me, don't you think?

It comes with 3 rolls of PEZ candy also!

So you just slide the candy in there, and lift the teddy bear's head back when you want to eat one.

And for interesting PEZ dispenser facts, did you know...

• PEZ candies were not intended to be candies, but as mints for an alternative to smoking. It was created in Vienna in 1927 by Eduard Haas III and had a peppermint flavor, or pfefferminz. Take the first, middle, and last letters of the word and you get PEZ! The first PEZ dispensers were made to resemble cigarette lighters.
•  the world's largest PEZ dispenser is 94 inches tall, weights 85 pounds, and holds 6,480 PEZ candies?

Alright, have a great week everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

 Hey everyone, Happy Valentine's Day! I am going to be making a special Valentine card for my Valentine. Let's get started! I have this kit which has everything I need.

It has a card, envelope, markers, stickers, and tissue paper.

I'll take a quick look at the instructions first. Ok, got it.

I'll color in the front of the card using the markers.

Then there are some glitter heart stickers which I'll put on the card.

I'll put a sticker on my nose!

Actually, an even better place for it would be on my craft apron - perfect!

Next, I'll press some of these tissue paper pieces onto a clear sticker. We are going for a mosaic effect here.

Then, all I need to do is cut off the excess tissue paper to make a heart shape.

I'll stick it on the front window of the card.

Okay, now it's time to give it to my Valentine, who is...

...YOU! You did know that, right?

Well, go on, open it!

I hope you like it!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day and remember that you are BEARY SPECIAL!

Happy Valentine's Day

I received a letter in the mail a couple of days ago.  I always enjoy getting mail.

I took one glance at the envelope and immediately knew who it was from.  Do you see the two bears on the front?  It's a letter from Jerry and Ben!

I opened it up and saw a nice Valentine's Day card.  Thank you Jerry and Ben!  They included some fun Winnie the Pooh stickers.  I will have to think of something creative to use them for, or just stick them all over myself.

Then it was time to make a Valentine's Day card of my own.  I got out some red paper and a heart-shaped hole punch from my arts & crafts bin.

I cut out a heart and decorated it.

Here is a close-up.

Now it was time to give it to someone special.  What good is a Valentine's Day card if you don't give it to someone special?  So I went to find someone special.

I didn't have to look very hard.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Lots of bear hugs

XOXO,
