Anyway, these are the ones he wanted. He’s been waiting all year to get them again…they’re one of his favorite treats. Personally, I think they kind of taste like colored chalk {not that I actually know what chalk tastes like, honest…although I once knew a kid who ate chalk…}, but hey, whatever makes him happy.
It kind of cracks me up the way they update the sayings to be current with things like, “Tweet Me.” If someone had given me one of those when I was a kid, I’d have though, “What in the world…?”
Anyway, I only got one bag because I thought bigger hearts would take up more room. Except that they didn’t. So when we poured them in, the vase was less than half full and looked kind of dorky, like I just dumped them in there because I didn’t have a bowl. I thought about adding the candle but thought that might just make it look worse. Plus, last year, between Little Crafter, my “brother” Matt, and the rest of our Bible Study group, they all just kept taking the candle out anyway so they could get their hands in there and eat the hearts.
Soooo….enter my beloved Cammie {the Silhouette Cameo I got for Christmas}. I just ordered a bunch of adhesive vinyl from MyVinylDirect.com, including a great hot pink color that’s just perfect for Valentine’s Day! I went into Silhouette Studio and made up this little design using a heart I bought from Silhouette’s online store and a fun font I have. If you’d like to download it and use it for your own projects, be my guest!

February 8, 2013 at 12:58 PMOh, I didn’t know that they had updated the conversation hearts to go with texting and tweeting! I definitely need to get a silhouette! I’m so glad you shared this at Loving Valentines Day!
TGIF!
