{Printables} "You’re Just ‘Write’ Valentine!"

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day?
I have been busy getting my children’s Valentines all ready for school. We don’t have school on Friday, so my kiddos have their parties tomorrow!

I had to have them done today, so I sat down and got to work. I have to say I think they turned out great!

  


A few weeks ago I was shopping at Michael’s and came across a pack of 24 Valentine’s Day pencils. I thought they were great, so I bought two packs and figured we would come up with something for my children’s valentines.

I had seen so many pencil ideas in the past, but hadn’t had a whole lot of time to sit down and actually get to work. Yesterday I started searching Pinterest and saw tons of pencil ideas. There were lots of phrases that included ‘write’ and ‘sharp’, and then I saw some cute Pencil valentines with word finds and mazes. I loved the idea so that is what I decided on.

Lately my children have been in love with tic-tac-toe and word finds. My son’s weekly spelling word practice usually includes us creating a word find for him.

At first I was only going to print one puzzle for each child (half tic-tac-toe and half word finds). But then my darling children said ‘But what if my friends want both puzzles.’
We decided to print the tic-tac-toe game on the front and then printed the word find on the back.

Unfortunately my printer sometimes has issues with feeding the paper in correctly, but for the most part they turned out great and lined up correctly (I dont’ think many 1st or 3rd graders will notice).

We printed them all out…cut them…wrote names…and then attached each pencil with some cute washi tape that I had.

You could also punch a hole and tie the pencil with some twine or ribbon. 

Now for some exciting News!!

My Valentines will be available for purchase in my Etsy shop…but for 1 hour I am having a ‘Freebie Flash Sale’! 
That’s right! You have until 10:15 pm {MST} to click the links below and download my Valentines for free. After that you can find them in my Etsy shop.

So Hurry! Tell your friends and family to head on over before they’re gone!


Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

UP2U Gum Tags for Personal Progress & Visiting Teaching


I am always on the look-out for new ways to get the YW excited to do Personal Progress. One day while we were at the grocery store I saw a pack of UP2U gum and had an idea for a Personal Progress treat.

UP2U Gum Tags for Personal Progress & Visiting Teaching


I created this little handout that you can tape to a pack of UP2U gum to encourage the YW to keep working on their Personal Progress.

The front flap of the printable says:

UP2U Gum Tags for Personal Progress & Visiting Teaching

Lift up the front flap and you’ll see:

UP2U Gum Tags for Personal Progress & Visiting Teaching
On the back I added a great quote I found from Sister Elaine Dalton. 

Hopefully a good quote and some yummy gum can get those YW excited about Personal Progress…fingers crossed. :)
UP2U Gum Tags for Personal Progress & Visiting Teaching


While my Mom was visiting us a few weeks ago I showed her my UP2U gum idea and she loved it. She then said, ‘You should make one for Visiting Teaching.’ Hmmm…..why didn’t I think of that. So, I got to work & created one for Visiting Teaching.

UP2U Gum Tags for Personal Progress & Visiting Teaching

As I was looking for quotes about Visiting Teaching I saw one from Bonnie D. Parkin that said, “We don’t ‘do’ Visiting Teaching. We ‘are’ Visiting Teachers.”

So, I decided to type

“Being a Visiting Teacher Is…” instead of “Doing Visiting Teaching Is…”


These would be great to handout out to your Relief Society sisters at the beginning of the month or at a Visiting Teaching activity.

To create your own UP2U Treats…
1. Print out my UP2U Gum Labels (link below)
2. Cut them out
3. Fold on the dotted/dashed lines
{the label will go around the pack of gum}
4. Tape/Glue the back of the printable (where the quote is) to the back of the pack of gum. You can also add a small piece of tape/glue onto the top of the pack of gum.
5. Fold over the top flap
6. Hand out to your YW or RS Sisters and Enjoy!
{I added a strip of Washi tape to the front to keep the front flap down. You can do this or not.}

I hope you enjoy my UP2U Gum Labels and use them for your YW or RS sisters.

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog.

Have a wonderful day!
