No it's not a typo, and no, I do not stammer....as Valentine's is the season of love, what more appropriate than a little blog loving today?!☺ The post title is actually a little homage to a very dear friend who has just started her lolovely brand new blog called LOLOVIE (whose banner is also kinda in-keeping with the whole Valentine's theme...Soooo convenient!!) There she talks about all things crafty , DIY Tutorials , travel , cookery , motherhood and daily life - All beautifully served with a dash of humor that will have you laughing out really loud! I urge you to take some time to check out her blog today for your daily dose of LOLOVE !☺
Tired of seeing red hearts everywhere? Well, today we bring you a little eye candy that's apple-shaped instead... Leoni from Just call me Martha , created a Back to School bash for her little girl's 4th Birthday and she used some of our FREEBIE Back to School printables (keep reading). Isn't she clever?! Top of the class, Leoni!! :)
The game includes six bingo cards and a call-out sheet to match the designs of the "My Sweet" Valentine's party printables , so it would make a great Valentine's party game , party favor or a fun classroom activity - There are only images on the cards, and so it's suitable for younger players too! We suggest you laminate the pieces and cards to make them last longer, and use candy hearts , chocolate hearts or anything else you fancy as bingo markers ! :)
