Best Valentines Ever (you'll thank me for this one)
/
While trolling innocently through my blog reader yesterday, I stumbled upon the most genius of all genius ideas.
Meet Alissa. Amazing photographer, mother of four beautiful babies, and blogger extraordinaire.
Now meet her genius idea (seriously, go check hers out).
And now see my literal rip-off of her genius idea:
I frantically grabbed my camera and caught the kids wherever they happened to be, and in whatever state they happened to be in. Two of the three were in the sandbox and totally filthy.
I honestly didn't care, so enamored was I with this idea.
I uploaded the pics, added the words in Photoshop, and then sent them online to my local Sam's Club. Within an hour, I had the photos in-hand. I made small slits at their fists with an xacto knife, inserted the lollies, and BAM. Best. valentines. ever. Total effort on my part? Maybe 20 minutes.
And that counts the break I took in the middle to get a snack.
Because sitting in a chair using an xacto knife? Totally nutrient draining.
So thanks, Alissa, and hats off to you, sister. Were it not for you, I would have been resigned to the tacky crap I hate at Target with pictures of Sponge Bob and Sleeping Beauty. These pictures are so much better.
See? All the pretty soldiers, lined up and ready to go:
Now hurry. There's still time to get yours made.
And yeah, you're welcome.
