I am NOT a Valentine's Day fan. In fact, I really shy away from it. But then I started thinking that my kids like it--so I should probably like it for their sakes.
So I made some Love Note Jars using color inspiration from one of my favorite books of love poems (I shy away from the cheesy pink hearts). Maybe they look silly...I don't know. But the kids like them and they already started to put notes in them and we can read them all on Valentine's day.
Go ahead... you can do the "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww how sweeeeeeettt..." now.
I'm rolling over how it says "back"-- just happens to be our initials and I accidentally lined it up that way.

I have a pen out and these little I Love You Because...pieces of paper near the jars so we can fill them out whenever we want. I did tell everyone that we probably shouldn't write lots of love notes to ourselves;)
like the color combo? bring on the gaudy reds and golds!
(yo r osaam dad = you are awesome dad)
Happy Love Note Writing!

I think those jars are so cute and I love the notes. I think it is a great way for kids to express themselves.
I am sure you all will have fun reading them.
This is a sweet idea! Thanks for sharing it. Also, I think that I have that little book somewhere...
Dude...I just started following you on GFC...How in the world was I not already a follower! Party foul! :)
Oh my goodness! I LOVE Valentine's Day! We kinda do the same jar thing around the table for dinner! Little love notes to each other:)
Crap... I just read the chocolate part and being friends. I don't like chocolate, but that means more for you???? ;)
I love that "You are awesome dad" phonetic spelling. What a treasure.

You 'made my week' http://beinglds.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-made-my-week.html
Those are SO So cute! totally going to do something like that. I have tons of jars that have nothing in them. My kiddos would love this idea!
Super idea, Carrie! Write a note from me to you for your jar that says: You shared a totally amazing idea that builds up others!
=)
That is such a sweet idea. It would really get siblings looking for the good on each other.
