Yesterday, Norah and I had so much fun shooting photos to make her own, personalized Valentines. I thought they turned out pretty cute, though I can't take credit for being the creative genius who thought it up...I found the idea here earlier this week and knew right away we had to copy it!If you're still looking for a fun, inexpensive, and super-easy Valentine idea, I highly recommend it. Just take a photo of the Valentine-giver with their hand (or hands) extended out, and balled into a fist. Add your message in a photo editing program (Photoshop, Picasa, etc.), upload your photo to wherever you get your pictures printed (I used Target through Shutterfly). After you pick up your photos, use a razor knife to cut small x's above and below the fist, insert a lollipop, and voila! (Norah helped me thread all of the lollipops through the x's, so she really enjoyed being a part of the project from start to finish)

what a wonderful idea!!
That is completely and totally cool!! I'm going to have to remember this one for next year!
Cute idea - love the Black and White photo.
What a cute Valentine. She is adorable! Where's Eli's?? :)
Funny you should ask, Sara...We did TRY to make one for Eli, but he's not quite coordinated to smile AND ball his hand in a fist just yet. I actually considered dedicating an entire post to Eli's attempt at posing for his Valentine :) Some of them were pretty funny.
