Heart Day

We've been getting into the spirit around here....

made some yummy treats {recipe here and here}

and made an Oracle of Love {Family Fun's version of the magic 8 ball}. Kensie LOVES this thing and asks it all sorts of questions. It's super easy to make, too.

Just get an empty jar {baby food jars work well. I had a marinated artichoke jar & used that}. Flatten a 1 inch Styrofoam ball with your thumb to create a cube with 6 sides.

Cut 6 hearts out of craft foam and write answers on each {I did yes, no, you bet, never, maybe, and ask again}. Use a glue gun to attach hearts to the cube, place in the jar and fill with water to the top. Make sure the lid is on tight! Now you can decorate the jar.

They recommended using modeling clay to cover the jar, which I didn't have. I just covered it in paper and craft foam, leaving the bottom exposed, and mod podged the whole thing.
So fun!


Next up, making valentines.....
