DIY Valentine's Day Cards So nowadays in kindergarten they call it "friendship day" but the old rules I remember from childhood still apply: bring valentine's cards in, and bring one for everyone. I'm not trying to knock the holiday paraphernalia you see in every store come January--I'll even admit to feeling something strangely pleasant at the site of those little boxed valentines cards with perforated edges that say things like, "Be Mine!"--but this year we just weren't having that. So I pulled out an old package of do-it-yourself business cards and counted enough for my son's class. When he got home from school on Monday I had them out on the table with all the markers and crayons we own. "Have at it, son." And he loved it. We're talking three straight hours of focused work--three hours folks! I'd say that's something worth repeating every year. I think these are pretty darn good too, so I'm sharing the trend.
