How I've Spent My Afternoon!

Each day I try to do a little for my Family Valentine Party
which will be held Saturday, February 13th.  Recently, I had
seen an origami heart/star on Pinterest and thought it would be
fun to make one for one of the prizes using a $2.00 bill as my
grandchildren love the art of origami.  It is a
tradition to give them the bill in some form or another as a
prize.  So, after viewing a tutorial on Youtube, I decided
to give it a try.

The first tutorial I watched was a little too complicated for
me, but this one https://www.youtube.com/watch? 
was very easy to follow.  This is my first attempt using a
$1.00 bill:

Not too bad, if I say so myself!  Now to make several
more using the $2.00 bills.  Actually, it was quite fun!

I have also made simple invitations this year which is
another tradition.  If the kids don't get one early in the
month, they are continually asking their parents when
Grandma is going to have her party and if they are
going to get an invitation.

I found the format to print the heart here:  Heart Writing

I printed it on pink marbled construction paper, taped
the heart to a toothpick and stuck it in a chocolate
"kiss" as everyone needs a little treat with their
invitation!

Guess, I'll be off to work on more origami hearts!
