Happy Valentine’s Day

…homemade cards are the best

I have to admit that I purchased a card for my husband but for my Dad I made one. I took some of the transparency film that I printed and cut it into heart shapes and arranged them onto a folded piece of card stock. I added extra detail with white ink.

I gave it to my father this morning with a jar of hand and body cream that he likes and a small chocolate heart that I purchased at the farmers’ market yesterday. He was delighted and surprised. For one thing he was under the assumption that only men gave Valentine’s gifts to women so this gift was completely unexpected. Aren’t those the best kind? I think so.

A Day Early

…my husband’s Valentine’s Day wish to Winnie

Last night my husband told me that he sent off Winnie’s Valentine’s Day wish for today. When I told him that he had done it a day too soon he shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn’t matter because she was already prepping for Easter.

Here she is singing ‘Let it Be’. What a ham!

Meet Harold

…the official Valentine’s Day hedgehog

Today’s drawing is a hedgehog and when Winnie asked what his name is my husband declared that it is Harold.

Monsters are Cool Again

….a change of heart from two weeks ago

When today’s Monster Monday showed up on What’s App our granddaughter had a very different reaction from two weeks ago. If you remember she declared then that she didn’t want to see Monday’s drawing because she knew it would be a monster and monsters are scary.

Today she said. “It’s a Valentine Monster. That’s really cool!”

Red – One Word Sunday

… thanks to The Photo Junkie for hosting One Word Sunday

Red is my all time favourite colour. I like to dress in red and I usually pick the red crayon first when I’m drawing with my granddaughter.

In the Cubby?

Posted on February 10, 2019 by Mama Cormier

….had to ask where the cubby was

When our granddaughter saw today’s drawing she said it had to go in the cubby. We know that at preschool she has a cubby to store her personal items. Maybe all Valentine related things need to stay there until the big day.
