30 Free Valentine's Day Note Cards - Just Pay Shipping (Starting @ $4.50!!)

Celebrate Valentine's Day with adorable and FREE Valentines cards! Buying your child's Valentines has never been easier, saving you time and money.  Choose a design that allows for free photo uploads and add your child's picture for a one of a kind Valentine. Add a personal note from your child to his or her classmates and even fill in the "from" message portion, if you prefer.  You may want to leave that portion blank for budding "writers".

Make 10 free note cards to cut into 3's, making 30 FREE personalized kid's Valentines! These would be perfect for pre-school and elementary school class parties, since 30 will be more that enough.  I usually end up getting 2 packages for each child at the store, since the store bought Valentines only have 20 or 22 and that's not always enough.  Plus, these are quality cards from VistaPrint (they make good stuff!).  This offer includes free personalization and photo uploads. The note cards are free, just pay shipping and processing and shipping starts at just $4.50!!


Happy Valentines Day!!

Using Up Some Kool-Aid!

I have so many packets of Kool-Aid! I found a great rainy day activity to get rid of one or two. It reminds me of being a kid. :)

The recipe is slightly altered and from RecipeZarr. The idea is from Amy at Mom Advise/The Motherload.

PLAY DOUGH

1 Cup Flour
1-2 Packages Kool-Aid
1 Tablespoon Cream of Tarter
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Salt
3/4 Cup Boiling Water

Mix all dry ingredients in bowl then oil, then pour boiling water in and mix throughly. Let cool a bit before giving it to the kids!!

Wrap in cellophane or air tight container and store in fridge. The play dough should last a few months. Be sure the label and date!

We made blue and pink. I'd recomend darker colors, but that was my daughter's choice! We used cookie cutters, plastic silverware, a rolling pin, etc. It kept the kids busy for about an hour. And they've asked to play with it several times this week. Even though we have Play-Doh already, unponed Play-Doh at that, my daughter thinks this stuff is the coolest!!

This would be lots of fun for holidays! Green and red at Christmas, pink and red at Valentines, etc. Would be great for a kids table over the holidays or a birthday party activity, you get the idea! Cheap fun!

$5 Off At Party City

Here's the coupon I used when I went to Party City last weekend. It expires Sunday the 29th. I don't see Party City coupons a lot so I was very pleased to see this. For once it was when I needed it! I received it for signing up with their Party Club.

$5 off $25 at Party City

I was able to walk out the door for under $35. That's for party supplies, a few decorations and ballons. I even got my son a HUGE Elmo ballon ordered!! He'll love it! That has to be a Party City record ($35) for me.

Since I save all the unused party supplies in the pantry, I will be able to use some of those (large plates, flatwear, etc) this weekend. Plus, since my son is only turning 2, we'll just be having a small family gathering with snacks, cake and play time with cousins. I don't think anyone will care I didn't buy the large Elmo plates and instead used the large blue plates from last year, or that we're using 3 types of forks. Just remember, when it comes to kids parties, think of the "big" picture. Spending less will be best!
