Mild moments of craftiness

So I really enjoy being crafty. Honest. I know, some of you may not believe me - especially considering my level of "craft" - but I really do enjoy my little projects. For example, I created these simple little gifts for my voice students for valentines day. I had some M&M's left over from a recipe and I didn't want to eat them (yuck!) and neither did Dan (??) so it worked out perfectly. And I was really proud of how they turned out. So proud, I took a picture (or two or three!).

Another little craft project I did was for the sister I visit teach, also as a little valentines gift (can I just say that I love having holidays as an excuse to give people things? Whenever I give someone something "just because" I always get the strangest looks, but if it's for "valentines day," then it's okay!). I used a Valentines Chex Mix to put into the cellophane and made my own little card out of card stock and some leftover scrap-booking paper that I had laying around. I cut out some basic shapes (rectangles - one in a card and one to put on top of the card so it wasn't so boring), traced a heart and cut that out, then glued each section onto it's predisesor and then glued some valentines glitter onto the heart. I was also proud of how this turned out so I took more pictures!
I know, some of you may say that cellophane bags aren't really all that hard to use and they aren't all that unique of a craft idea. However, to give myself some credit, these are not cellophane bags. Oh no, they sure aren't! These are squares of cellophane wrapping that I cut out of a whole roll I purchased (looks a lot like a roll of wrapping paper), placed goodies in the center and tied up the ends with some fun ribbon-type stuff. So, I created those little "bags". And yes, I'm proud.
