my little valentine

I'm not so into heart shaped boxes of chocolates or a dozen red roses, but I'm very much into these little guys.

Valentines day is here, and my little ones need something to drop off with their friends... preferably something cute and little and filled with candy. I was remembering some little Christmas matchboxes we did when I was at the Kids magazine, so we revamped them for Valentine's day. 

You can find little packs of matchboxes at the grocery store, I found mine near the cigarettes. They usually come in packs of 10 and shouldn't run you more than $1.50 or so. (Dump the matches out and save them for your next blackout.) Cut a piece of paper 2" high (or the height of your matchbox) and about 4" long (enough to wrap all the way around). I used a bit of tape to secure it on the back.

You can do these anyway you like. I love the portraits C drew of his friends at school (his idea).. They may all look the same at first glance, but he can tell you who each one is. I cut the paper down to the right size first, then wrapped it around the box after he was finished. For other matchboxes I used a little heart punch and glued a little bit of paper underneath. And some got a simple little band. 

Fill with candy (regular m and ms and candy corn will fit nicely), tuck in a little note, wrap with string if desired, and add a name tag or first initial. Then off to school!

I phoned MOVING SERVICES company a couple of weeks ago for a quote and spoke to Xana who was most helpful. Having hired movers in the past, and having a horrible experience (to the point where I was forced to complain to the better business bureau), Xana put my mind at ease and assured me that the staff at TMC were extremely professional and had years of experience. Because of Xana’s very calming personality, I decided to hire TMC to assist with my move on Saturday, January 10th.The best moving companies toronto that were sent to me were Slava and Vladimir. I cannot say enough about these two gentlemen. They were extremely professional, organized, friendly and efficient. So thank you Toronto Movers Company!! I will be recommending your company to anyone who is moving and would not hesitate for a second to hire you again myself should the need arise in the future.

open DLL file , click on the folder containing DLL files, right-click on it, choose Open command window. The command prompt directly will directly open and you start writing regsvr32 dllname.dll and tap on entering. For more information on opening DLL files on Windows 7.

ShareKaro app is designed for the android users primarily, as it is considered as a replacement of Shareit app so, users prefer downloading it on PC or Mac. In order to download it you have to install an Android emulator. A preferred Android emulator is Blue Stacks as it is reliable and eBay to install on the PC.
