Fun Ways to Give Money for Valentine's Day

Of course we all know that you can't buy love but

I know quite a few people that would love money for 

Valentine's Day!

I've got some easy and maybe a little cheesy ways to 

stash the cash to and fill their hearts...

Bakers gonna bake, 

but you never know when they are short on dough...

Cookie dough, a heart cutter and a bill-wrapped mini rolling pin will definitely warm their heart.

You never want your loved ones to change...

but some of them are in college,

 and have never valued a roll of quarters more than on laundry day!

Everyone loves conversation hearts this time of year...

but not many get "Converse-ation" and money hearts...

Perfect for that kid on the go.

Who doesn't appreciate a few bucks?

I am sure someone "deer" to you would...

Forest Gump's mother was wise about many things, 

especially her outlook on life.

But on Valentine's Day a box of chocolates...

with a special surprise will make this treat so much richer and sweeter.

I am looking forward to spending time with my Valentines!

4 fun ways to give money for Christmas

The saying goes that "cash is king"

and during the holidays giving it as a gift is often a lifesaver!

It's quick, easy and always appreciated.

I've got 4 fun ways to Show them the Money for Christmas...

1. Sleigh it!

Santa changed his standard, 

Ho, Ho, Ho for Dough, Dough Dough.

He is ready for Christmas by filling his sleigh with money 

and had Thomas Jefferson don his signature bright red hat for some jolly fun...

Sometimes, giving the dough is the way to go...

2. Oh Deer!

Who doesn't love getting a few extra bucks?

This bow-tie clad, glittered reindeer is ready to make the season

Merry and Bright...

Everyone needs a little bit of green for their Reindeer Games, right?

3. Money Trees

They say money doesn't grow on trees 

but during Christmas I beg to differ.

This money tree is ready to Deck the Halls...

Who knew Abe Lincoln would be at the Christmas Tree Farm?

4. Silver BILLS

It's Christmas time in the city and the bells are ringing CASH...

Simple bells with a little loot stuffed inside...

ring-a-ling indeed!

Wishing you a very lucrative Christmas!

Where is the love? last minute Valentine scramble...

Earlier this week my kids asked where all the Valentine's decorations were.

When they were little I decked the halls with hearts and love.

This year - nada.

For the last few weeks, 

I have been in full "Valentine's mode", filling Etsy orders and working on projects for others,

but our house was bare and I had nothing for my sweeties.

With local stores pillaged of all red, pink and heart candy,

(and I hate buying that junk any way)

I decided to give my kids what they really want...

(and what was easy for me!)

I know it shouldn't be true, but when you are a teenager, it is all about the $$

and thanks to Wayfair's awesome craft supplies at ALT,
I was able to decorate the front door before they got home from school!
