We have them in every drawer in the house (I mark EVERYTHING! Toothbrushes, cups, clothing, toys -- oh, did I mention I have two small daughters?). They come in about four or five colors (black, red, purple, green, brown) and you can find them in an extra fine tip as well. P.S. They are only permanent on items you do not want them to be permanent on, i.e., your kitchen table, placemats, best blouse, etc...

It was 8pm. He originally told me he wanted Pinky and the Brain Valentines (narf) . I had them on my desk at the store!! So we did what any self-respecting stamper-Mom does? We stamped them :) We had an assembly line and came up with some pretty cute cards. He has a "Pat" stamp so he didn't have to sign 25 Valentines. And we made a special one for his teacher...claret coloured mulberry, a PSX rose heart embossed in white and added small gold hearts. He liked the ones we made and I enjoyed working on this "project" with him. Any other homemade Valentine stories?

Oh, my gosh, InkyWhiskers...Thank Goodness you and your family are alright...That is one of the things I am really afraid of...fire...we had alarms on each floor and hubby checks them every year, putting in new batteries.

So we used Red paper and cut out heart with friskar paper scissors, embossed a silver hear in the middle and then we put a white dollie on the back. We then punched two heart in the upper left hand corner and put white and red ribbon thru it and tied a bow. For her teacher we made a really big red heart, put the white dollie in the middle and then embossed a big silver heart inthe middle of the dollie. We then put ribbons on hers to but we also added a really cool gold metal bow I had over the dollie to dress it up. Bitzy was pleased with the outcome of her first stamping project - I think we'll being doing this again.
