Be mine. Be crafty?

I wanted to give Amanda flowers for Valentines. Here's what we ended up with:

Amanda said that it looks like the kind of thing you'd buy for a dollar from the Savers knick-knack shelf. I'm not sure if that means she likes it or not. But Emily's a fan. We've been having daddy-daughter craft sessions to make new kinds of paper flowers.

Feeling inspired, I decided to try my hand at some kirigami.  I don't think Amanda has ever played Minecraft.  But the kids play frequently on the Kindle.  I haven't played for a while, but it used to be quality family time.

This Valentine's a little "Creepy".  When closed, a pair of eyes look out at you. 
I'm afraid that our printer's on its last legs. So the colors didn't come out quite like I had hoped. Still, it was fun to design.

I played around with various phrases, "I pick you." or "You're a blast!" or "Even when I'm a blockhead, you build me up."  But the old classic, "Be Mine", just seemed right.

Emily is so fun. She will shut herself in the office for hours at a time to craft decorations for the house, props for a theater presentation she wants to perform, or toys she wants to have. I loved this decoration she put up. Our home is erupting with love.

Happy Valentine's.
