Valentine's Day project...

Decided a Valentine's Day project was a great way to spend a little time with Harper. So I stopped by the store and picked up a few items.

I started with this hanging heart decor I found for $3.99. The hearts are attached with a thick center wire, and the middle two hearts can spin. I knew I wanted to deconstruct it, so that I could utilize it for multiple purposes - a project for Harp, and one for myself.

Waiting very patiently

Here are the hearts after I took them apart using wire cutters:

I then gave Harper a few supplies to decorate the two smaller hearts:

Adhesive hearts for $.97

Alphabet pop-up stickers for $1.47 (I got two so she could spell her name)

I also gave her some paper flowers to attach that I already had on hand (will see on the final product). Here she is hard at work:

And here is her creation:

The front side (she decided to add Esme's name too - how sweet!)

The back (Notice how she wrote "Love" and then used an "8", which could almost read "Love Infinity")

She was so happy with the end result. Isn't that what matters. Quality time together for less than $7.

Wondering what happened with the big outside heart? Just wait and see. Post coming soon!
