How Does She Sucker Me Into This??

I wanted to do something different for Keira for Valentine's day..I didn't want her to buy a box of valentines and just write her name on them..especially since they didn't make mailboxes or anything..they had to bring the valentines in today for the teachers to put into groups or whatever..totally NOT what we did in the "old days", and I have severe OCD issues and can't just do anything simple..lol...Well I thought this would be simple...WRONG !! I whipped out my Cricut books and looked and thought of doing a cute Minnie Mouse holding something, so i showed them to Keira, did she like that idea ? YES !! She loved it, but she didn't want Minnie..I said how about Goofy? (I'm done goofing around, be my valentine)..nope..she chose one of Mickey and Minnie...okay, sure..So I start cutting the pieces out, well bcuz it's a full size one I can only cut it at 1 1/4 inches so all the pieces are proportionate (don't ask me why if the whole thing is about 3 inches tall i didn't make the machine), well that makes little bitty pieces..LOTS of little bitty pieces..there were 6 different colors and about 10 different cuts (some of the keys have two parts on them, but they need to be different colors)..I really started to wonder what I got myself into....well yesterday when I sat down to start assemble them I stopped for about 10 minutes and kick myself in the arse..literally kicked myself for 10 minutes straight !!! Each one, yes EACH ONE took between 10 and 15 minutes to glue together..that doesn't include the background I put them on which was two more cuts and two more pieces of paper !!! OMG !!!! I got roped into this one...lol...Oh well..she loves them and I think they turned out great...I put a glow stick on them bcuz I am tired of throwing away candy from all these different things, so I decided to be that parent and send a glow stick....

Of course I thought of the writing on it AFTER they were glued so I had to write around Mickey's tail..oh well..now i want you to look at Minnie's eyes...do you know what a pain that was?? LOL !!!

Stay tuned for Austin's..I am doing those this weekend...Damn, maybe I need some medication...
