Valentines Day Mailbox

I am NOT a creative person, not at all. Especially when it comes to coming up with my OWN ideas. I'm really good at copying things, within reason. I can make cards, but they're usually plain and simple, getting a cricut has helped with that a little. I love my cricut, a lot. Anyway, I saw this on a blog and thought.."aww..thats cute" but the person who made it used vinyl, I'm to chicken to try vinyl out just yet, so I just used paper. This cost me a total of $1 to make, and $2 to fill! I'm not tryin to brag or anything, but yeah, I'm pretty thrifty!

Here's the front

It is filled with a few little hearts telling her we love her, some peanut M&Ms, stickers and a couple suckers! I'm pretty proud of it, and I know she'll have no interest in the mailbox, especially when she sees the M&Ms inside!
I also made something for PJ that I'm super proud of, but seeing as he reads the blog, you'll just have to wait just like him!

Very cute. Where did you find the mailbox? I can't find any that are plain and sturdy like that. We had little cardboard ones last year that were destroyed before Valentines Day.

You're a fun mom.

Now that it's valentines day you should show us what you did for PJ. Loren got a "happy valentines" this morning...not much else :) Maybe next year.
