My son Evan could not stop laughing after he was done adding the legs and placing the stickers to his Valentine box for school. His class has a contest today as to who could create the Most Traditional, Most Unique and Funniest Valentine card holders. Evan is quite the little comedian so of course he chose to make a funny one. He figured that instead of a Love Bug he'd make a Love Butt!
At CHA we met Michael Bucci who developed the Painter's Pyramid and let me tell you, it's the PERFECT tool for your projects! He gave us a free package with the hopes of us giving it a try and if we liked it to spread the word around. I placed the cardboard mailbox on top of four little pyramids and painted away. I was able to paint BOTH SIDES without having to wait for one side to dry before continuing - a real TIME SAVER! The pyramids also double as a place to hold your wet brushes! Thank you, Michael Bucci!!


And so, without further ado, here is Evan's BUTT! LOL!


Due to the budget crunch that schools are suffering from I decided to give school supplies rather than chocolates and flowers. The teachers have been asking for donations such as overhead projector pens, dry erase markers, etc. and so I placed a variety of those, along with spray cleaners and erasers, in clear paint buckets. The shorter bucket I purchased from Our Daily Bread designs which measures 5" high and 4" in diameter. I LOVE that bucket so I will have to grab up a few more! The apple stamp reads "If teachers were apples, I'd pick you!" and it's from a Clear Dollar Stamp set called Teacher Treats.


UPDATE:
Well, Evan's butt won for Funniest Valentine Box Contest! LOL! And I thought I was the only one who thought his butt was cute!
