Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Last weekend at the park the snow was perfect to make these snow valentines. I got carried away and couldn't stop making them. I left them all over the park, hopefully it brings a smile to the next people that come visit.

You need the perfect kind of snow to make these, the snow needs to be hard on the top, at least 1 inch but up to 4 (maybe more if you're lucky) of crunchy snow and then it was fluffy underneath. I drew out a heart with my hand and carved it out. Then gently picked it up from underneath.

Some kids had made a snow hill and then after they left I covered it with hearts.

And of course the girls ate their weight in snow and Isla broke as many hearts as she could. It was a fun afternoon in the snow.

These so make me smile! I love your blog. The muffin tin meals are so cute.
I can't remember exactly how I got here... maybe googled how to make play dough? Not sure, but I got a couple SWEET ideas from you that I am going to change up a little- the cookie sheet you made into a magnet board- how clever are you?! I was thinking I will make tic tac toe magnet/letters for it and paint it with chalkboard paint on one side. Then it can be used several ways.
I loved a lot of your ideas- thank you for taking the time to post! I really enjoyed reading through your blog and am a new follower.
Thanks Lisa - glad you like the blog. I had fun making the snow hearts - I felt like I was doing grafitti, tagging the park. I hope other people got to enjoy them before they melted.
And about the cookie trays - I just bought some stick on chalk board paper from the dollar store - that might work. I might try it. Thanks for the idea.
