I don't make them, but SHE does. She's been making her own since Kindergarten using my stamps and Stickles and papers, etc.

We made these last year. Minty hearts with personalized Shrinky Dinky key chains. They were a big hit.

In the past we've done the customized chocolate bar wrappers. Last year the girls fell in love with the prepackaged ones at the store so we did those instead. Worked for me!

I'm not sure yet if we will buy or make them. I'm leaning towards make but it's up to her.

No, I don't make them. They like the character pre-packaged ones, so that's what we get.

Yes, I make cards and print them as 4x6 prints. I usually leave some space off to the side where I attach a piece of candy. It's so fun for the kids to distribute cards that have their photos on them.

I did in preschool one year and we did store-bought the next. I'm sure we'll end up with some Toy Story or Transformer ones this year too.

I have been making them as my kid is 4 and doesn't seem to care yet. lol I am sure soon enough he will want the store ones, so I like to make them now. No clue what I am going to do this year, but possibly sucker wraps.

I usually make them and attach a piece of candy on the back. My kids like having their photo on it, and they're way more interested in the candy than the card!

My oldest is 7 and still willing to let me make them as long as I choose the kit well. I'm sure we'll be using Traci and Julie's Another Galaxy for his. My middle kiddo is 4 and will like anything that isn't too girly, so I'll see what Valentine kits hit the store in the next few weeks for his. Lauren is 2, and this is the first year I'll get to make them for her. I can't wait to go all out on hearts and girly stuff, LOL!
