XOXO Painted Valentine Letters

December 29, 2010 by Amanda Formaro

I was criticized by a commenter when I posted a Valentine craft on Christmas night on my craft blog. She didn’t know I had been sick for 3 days and it made me feel great to post something, even if it was Valentine’s Day. But even so, crafts tutorials always start early. Teachers, daycare providers and even homeschoolers plan their curriculums in advance and need projects ahead of time. Imagine my delight when I discovered that Jen over at Craft-O-Maniac has been busy posting Valentine crafts too! Thanks Jen 🙂

Get the scoop on these super cute XOXO painted letters on Jen’s blog.

    I love the fact that you are already posting about Valentine’s Day. It helps me to plan what I want to make and do well in advance of the day. I hate waiting until the last minute to prepare, or even worse, finding out about a cute craft when there’s not enough time left to gather materials and make it. So thanks a bunch!

    I LOVE early posts & how-tos.Posting one the night before a holiday causes me to bookmark or print and then lose it for next year. And there are early shoppers as well. I just sold a set of Valentine magnets. Keep it up & I hope you feel better.

    I LOVE early posts! With two little kids running around, I need time to plan everything out. I started looking at last year’s Valentine’s posts a week ago. Love this idea, too!

    I love to see these crafts posted early, as I need time to gather all materials, and work it into our meeting plans for my Beavers and Cubs.

    I also appreciate early posts because it gives me a little time to get it done. Posting a Christmas project wouldn’t have helped me any on Christmas! Hope you are feeling better!

      Thanks Monica! The XOs weren’t mine, those are jen’s from Craft O Maniac, just didn’t want there to be any confusion and I don’t want to take credit for Jen’s ingenuity! 🙂 I did post something on my own blog, but only one criticizer. Maybe Santa left her some coal in her stocking and she was just mad at the world LOL
