are you ready for valentine's day?

i have done no preparation for valentine's day .... i don't even know what preparation i need to do! ... i did buy chocolate for a pal .... but nothing for anyone in my very own family .. but little.e.beck.artist is all ready for her friday-at-school-valentine-fest .....

she had papers in pinks and lavender and white ... and cut them to be squares ... square because she is about origami right now .... and origami is all about square paper ....

then she origami'd them right up into little pockets ....
... one of the keys to origami is to have sharp folds .....
once the pockets were made, she put a small hershey's bar inside ....
and then stickered up her origami envelopes .....
two special teachers are getting full on heart shaped chocolate boxes ..... for the traditionalist ... both of them are ALSO getting origami valentine's .... now that's love!
and then two more teachers are getting full sized hershey's ... that are conveniently wrapped up in the leftover paper from that first origami step of making the paper a square .... 

so there you have it ... valentine's is in the air..... do you have plans?
