But, as demonstrated by my two month delayed blog post, I am a wee bit short on time these days. Here is a quick and dirty craft idea that soothes the craft beast without being a time suck.
Bookmark Valentines
A couple of old manilla folders
Some crafty scrapbook paper
Yarn
Glue stick
Hole punch
Optional but incredibly helpful
paper cutter
Stamp Set
Here we go.....
Cut your manilla folders and craft paper to the desired bookmark size. A paper cutter makes quick work of this.
Kid time: glue the craft paper to the cut folder strips
Then punch a hole in the center of each glued bookmark.
Pull the yarn through the hole and tie.

On the back she stamped "to" and "from" and wrote all her friends names.
It took about two hours and she was so proud to give them out. A fun craft project even when it's not Valentine's Day.
All my supplies, including the paper cutter, were purchased at the local thrift store and cost under $10 for the everything!
