It's Saturday and we're having a pajama day. Everybody is sick at our house, so I thought it sounded like a good idea. And, what makes pajama day better? A craft, of course! I pulled out some old shoe boxes and my new BFF - Mod Podge - and created Valentine Mailboxes for the girls to take to school Monday. They can take their Valentines cards for their classmates - and bring back all their goodies in their own box.
Very simple to make! I'm sure we've all made them at least once as a kid. I just wrapped each shoe box with left over red Christmas wrapping paper - using the Mod Podge. After it dried, the girls and I punched out hearts, cut out scrapbooking paper, and found heart stickers. The girls decorated them however they wanted and then we covered everything in Mod Podge. They're nothing fancy - but they're cute, made by the girls, and serve their purpose. Enjoy!

| Just wrapped the top and bottom like a gift - only with the Mod Podge instead of tape. |
