Inspired Valentines!

Inspiration from FF
When genius strikes!!

It doesn't happen much..truly hardly ever....that genius flash of light...but sometimes it strikes.    And Amen if you are actually awake and paying attention...because WOW...the happy dance is sure to follow!  But, hold on, you need to think Super Slow Motion Happy Dance with no jumping or bouncing, no helicopter head, no attitude bounce, no gangnam style pony dance motion because this post-concussive brain thing of mine prohibits any sort of Ellen DeGeneres moves.  I'll just keep my seat on the sofa and send my right fist up in the air with a softly spoken celebratory, "YES"!  We'll call that my dance.

Here's the 411 on the flash of genius:
I was completely inspired by the adorable Sock Sorting Game on Miss Mary Liberry's blog recently.  I pinned it to my "Flannelizing Soon" pinterest board and planned to make socks with heart designs.  Fast forward to today- I remembered that I have mittens with hearts ...already made - see photo from a previous  post!!  So my laundry basket will have Mittens to Match!!  Genius!!  *pretending to do a happy dance*




So, I have small plastic tub for my laundry basket:  It looks like this:


I'll place the mittens in here, but they're at the library now, and I am still at home. (hence pretty felt in my mini laundry basket)  I can't wait to do this game!   

Inspired thinking continues!  Library Quine's Currant Buns, (check here) are dressed up for Valentine's day at the bakery shop!  Please follow her link for the song, it's great...and new to me.  Library Quine has a template as well - very cool.  Have to love our Flannel Friday Family. 



Five Currant Buns in the bakery shop
Big and round with a heart on top
Along came a boy with a penny one day
Bought a currant bun and took it away
Yum!  
Four Currant Buns in the ....

Alrighty then...maybe I have overreacted a tad!  Maybe this was an Ah-ha moment and not Genius.  But the temperature is ridiculously cold in Connecticut and the wind is howling and all things came together after my physical therapy appointment today!  I am thinking, ahhh.... 
Grateful Genius!  

Thanks for visiting Piper Loves the Library.  She's all snuggled in bed for this deep freeze and waiting for me to read her a good book.  Any suggestions for Valentine books?

Ready for Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is always sweet especially when there are chocolate kisses!  This weeks's hi-light at Pajama Story Time was our flannel board story & song of candy kisses and mittens  : )  The children were very excited about discovering the kisses under the mittens.  And since I am not the heart, lace and glitter
 "kinda gal"-the flannel mittens were perfect!

I have a kiss for mommy
a candy kiss for mommy
I have a kiss for mommy
but where can it be?


If you look carefully you can see parts of the kisses sneaking out from under the mittens!
This only added to the excitement!


I have a kiss for daddy
a candy kiss for daddy
I have a kiss for daddy
but where can it be?

I made four kisses from card stock, covered them in foil and tucked in a little tag that said KISS.  Make as many kisses as you need!  After discovering the kisses - kiss your moms, dads, grams & grandpas!

We read Tanika's favorite book: Secret Valentine


Tanika, Piper and Jane...all had fun at Story Time  xoxx  and...Happy Valentines Day!
