This is the Valentine bag for Owen's class (on my post-breakfast unwiped kitchen table) containig a lollipop (extras from Holden's valentines) and hershey kisses. This morning I put them together during P's morning nap. This week we are back to two naps for little Miss P since she has been waking up all hours of the night and I am truly a believer in the "sleep begets sleep" idea for my kids. Anyhoo, I saw these darling felt fortune cookies on Tiffany's darling site here and went out within a few days for the materials and was attempting them hours later. The first attempts were kind of dire, I didn't have the right shape and the grosgrain to cover the wire wasn't really sticking. But a few days later I tried again and got the fold right and eventually tried using the extra felt (ends of the felt left when I cut out the circles) and it worked fabulously. Also, I made them smaller than I started out (4 inches were directed, I eyeballed a 2 inch circle).

Okay, crafty momma, you are really putting the pressure on the rest of us. How cute are those? I especially love the handwritten fortunes. So cute! Where did you buy your small cellophane bags? Don't tell me I have to go to Expedex cause I don't wanna.
Expedex.
