 Having way too much fun printing out Valentine freebies this afternoon.   They are so adorable (I think) I had to share.

I love the look of these treat bags.  Get the brownie bag here and the floral design here.  Note:  If you are a relative of mine and live in Bancroft I just spoiled your surprise, sorry :)
And lastly, "cardvelopes."  Just print, trim, write your message and fold.  Perfect for little love notes to family.
Happy Valentine's Day!

friends...
Every Monday morning a group of ladies meet at the church to do Humanitarian service.  I started going for a few reasons:  I like to sew and I like to chat with other ladies, even ones upwards of 80 years.  And it's a bonus that there are often other kids for Noah and Ivy to play with.
We ventured out today after it took me nearly a half hour to shovel the walks and snow off the van, wow!  We were quilting on the floor and I was watching Ivy like a hawk since she is drawn to the stage.  The only way up and down is a small staircase which unfortunately I couldn't move since there is a lady there who is nearly blind.  The last time I tried that she almost walked off the stage and I can't bear to have that on my conscience :)  Almost time to go home, just wrapping up the quilt tying and I hear a thud.  Ivy rolled or fell off the stage.  I felt terrible, she has two large bruises/rug burns on her forehead and cheekbone.  She was tired and inconsolable until we arrived home.  As I rocked her to sleep Noah came into her room and was peeking at her wounds.  He said, "Mom, I tried to run fast like Spiderman to catch Ivy, but I didn't make it."  The love they have for each other makes me smile, how lucky they are to have each other.   These photos were taken today while snuggling in a laundry basket, prior to the tumble.  I think Humanitarian efforts will be put on hold until Ivy's navigating the stage better :)
