Happy Valentines Day! - Post 2

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm always so happy to share my affectionate thoughts with my family, friends, and neighbors! I think it's essential for us to love one another, and share goodwill with others and I'm hoping to teach this value lesson on to my daughter. Thus, I encouraged her to help me create small favor bags of Valentines gifts to give to her school friends at her class party today. Here are a few pictures of the favor bags we made together to share! I'm sure they will be a big hit! :)

These favor bag toppers feature Bugaboo Stamps Bobblehead Farm Animals.
