Valentines

Here’s an idea for a Valentine for the teacher.
Kernels of Love
Cut a popcorn-box shape (ours is Binches tall and 6 inches across at the top -to try our template. see page 57) and a smaller rectangle for a label from the card stock.
With a ruler and marker, draw lines on the front of the box. Add a message and a border to the label, then glue it in place.
Tape the popcorn to the back so that it sticks up above the container.
IF you actually make this for your child’s teacher, please email me a picture so I can post it!!

Diaper Conquest

At target, if you buy a big box of Luvs diapers for $15.99, you receive an instant $5 Target gift card. Also you can go to this website and print $1.50 coupons for Luvs diapers. Basically the box will end up costing you about $9.50. Have fun my frugal friends.

Cybertag?

Apparently I have been cyber tagged! Funny thing is, my need to be wanted had me hoping my name would be on the tag list – thanks for showing the love, Susan! Now the directions – Share five random and/or weird facts about yourself; Share the five top places on your “want to see or want to see again” list; Tag five people at the end.

1. I am an English major who never uses words properly – or even words that are real. My mom actually proofs my blog entries and emails me corrections. My family calls them “Beckyisms” – I just call it embarrassing.

2. In fourth, fifth, and sixth grades I won prize money for essays written on soil and water conservation – yawn.

3. I love to go to the movies by myself. (Random – not necessarily weird)

4. I get a natural high from yard sales and bargain shopping – I am addicted and need a 12 step program. (See future post on the grocery game)

5. Almost every day I do the puzzles in USA Today online – helps me fall asleep.

Places to go:
1. Australia again – desperately I want to go there.
2. Seattle – always see it in movies and just want to see it.
3. Ireland – is it really that green?
4. China – I would love to visit my brother and his family again – and eat the food! YUM!
5. Scituate, Massachussetts – went there on our honeymoon and would love to go back.

Okay, I tag Jawan, Heather, Anne, Aspa, and April
