I have been feeling the pressure of Shecklet #3’s fast-approaching Valentine’s Day party at preschool and was planning on having her bring a decorated brown paper lunch bag instead of a decorated box.  Bad mom, I know. However, I quickly redeemed myself when I had a brief moment of mom-awesomeness.  I’m sure the idea exists somewhere on Pinterest, but I didn’t even think to look there.  (Probably a good idea since I was already in a time crunch.  I didn’t need to make things more complicated.)

I took an empty Kleenex box, removed the thin plastic surrounding the hole on the top and wrapped it in wrapping paper. Then Shecklet #3 put her name and stickers on the box.  Voilà!  Valentine’s Day box project success!
