Jac o' lyn Murphy: For Valentine's Day...all is fair in Love and War...

For Valentine's Day...all is fair in Love and War...

ATTENTION!
Harrison is not 
camouflaging his feelings this Valentine's Day.

The troops are ready to salute his classmates...




on a side note...my 12 year old daughter says that I should not use such,
"Old Lady" songs...
Her suggestion is, "I would Catch a Grenade for you" by Bruno Mars
(darn kids, I hate it when they are right!)

    Oh my goodness, this is great! My boys would have LOVED these when they were giving out Valentines! I always found it so challenging to find a solution for something they could give without feeling too girlie! This is perfect.

    I'm stopping by from Today's Creative Blog

    LOVE these!!! I was laughing when I read the phrases because I know almost all the words to that song (including the Bruno Mars song!). Guess that goes with having a 12 year old girl in the house.

    You are sooooo creative!

    Those are so clever! My boys would love to take something like that to school...and I'm pretty sure somebody got a big bag of soldiers for Christmas:)

    Yes these are cute for kids. But my first thought was giving one each day to the hub during Valentine week. I think he will live this so much more than a card. Thank you for sharing!

    These are ADORABLE. I don't have a son but if I did, I would be using this idea.

    *I had a hard time tracking you down, I saw your cute valentine's at a DIY Valentine's competition but it wouldn't link through to your post :(. So, I googled it and see that you've been featured a bunch of places and I finally found my way here. So, now I'll be pinning directly from the source.

    Brilliant!
