emily did something crafty. holla.

my kids awoke on valentines day to their own individual mailboxes (with love mail in them, of course):

i've seen this mailbox idea floating around the intranet, and thought it was so cute.

and y'all know my love for cake plates (this is the exact same thing, only you glue a mailbox on top!)

i had to make some for the littles.

i found the mailboxes from target (in the dollar section).

and the candlesticks (that i spray painted black) were from goodwill.

this project (for all 5 of my kids combined) cost about $10.00.



aren't they adorable?

we will be leaving them out, so people can put mail in them.

we used to have a family mail center in our kitchen, but kohen ate like 3 of our envelopes after pulling them down.

dangit kohen.

but these are much cuter anyways.  :)
