Happy Monday! Anyone else get dumped on by Mother Nature over the weekend? We were "lucky" enough to get 30+ inches of snow starting Friday evening into late Saturday night. It really put a damper on my building and furniture striping plans, but it sure was nice to have an excuse to sit around and do nothing. I did manage to complete a little craft project, but most of my time was spent finishing up Sons of Anarchy!

There's nothing more thoughtful than a DIY Valentine gift! Let someone else buy the over priced roses, they're just gonna shrivel up and die in a few days anyway. Why not make a gift that will last? It doesn't have to be complicated or cost a lot of money to show that you care.
This year, I decided I wanted to make a personalized puzzle for our kids. All I needed was a cardboard puzzle from the Dollar Tree and a cute little drop cloth bag from Target's dollar spot. Yup, this thoughtful gift cost a mere $2.00 to make!
Once I had all my pieces cut, I applied a very thin layer of Mod Podge to protect the puzzle.
That's it! Now you can give your puzzle in a cute bag, making for the perfect personalized Valentine's gift.

ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable idea! So adorable, in fact, that I'm going to make one for my girls! Great idea to just use any type of puzzle and put the picture on top. I think I might have a couple of heart shaped blank puzzles left over from my classroom, and now I know what to do with them. Thanks for the great idea!!
