After knitting a whole pile of my Sweetheart Knit Valentines – what to do with them!? I saw the chocolate kisses at the drugstore, which my kids adore and don’t get very often. How they would love to have their very own stash of kisses. How to package them? hmmm – who doesn’t like a hidden message, a secret love note? AND, for some reason (maybe because I had three kids in three years) they like to label and differentiate their stuff! Anything with their initials makes them very happy. Long after the kisses are gone, they can reuse the jars for their own treasures (rocks, finger knitting, trading cards, crayons, etc).
Please don’t laugh that my kids initials are A, B, C (and, then, there’s “D” for Daddy). I didn’t do it intentionally, but it is how it came out. I didn’t notice the “ie” in all their names, either – Charlie, Baillie, Allie, until their birth certificates were done and I was out of options. ah, well. Look carefully below at the adorable postcard from Marisa at Creative Thursday. I love, love, love her paintings and her blog – always something cheerful to make you happy.
3. Roll it up and secure with twine.
Don’t forget to pop over to Creative Thursday if you want a whole collection of sweet postcards like this one above.

Monica says
This is a wonderful idea. I also tried knitting little hearts for valentines for my son, but the pattern I chose was perhaps a little ambitious, I gave up. I will certainly try yours next year!
anne says
Please do Monica! Let me know what you think of the pattern when you do. Thanks for the comments, both of you.

Thank you! You can use any kind of jar – glass or plastic. Find something in your recycling bin.
