Wine is almost REQUIRED for me to get through these little "art projects". But chocolate will do, thanks.

February is rapidly approaching and you know what that means... Oh yes, time for me to dip my screaming child's feet in paint and make another memory!

(You can see Halloween and Thanksgiving footprints here. You can see Christmas footprints here.)

I ended up not doing a footprint project for January, and kicked myself for it every time I walked past our little "gallery wall" (I use that term as loosely as it can be used. Basically, it's our wall o' frames.). But since people seem to be decorating for Valentine's Day already and the stores are pushing the red and pink candies (hard), I figured I would knock this little project out ahead of time.

This did not turn out nearly as nice as the one that I pinned, but what can you do with a child that physically opposes paint and art projects with his entire body. Oh well, at least the wall gap is finally filled, and my ears will stop ringing from the screaming eventually.

Since my child will clearly not be sending out any handmade-from-scratch-or-with-paint Valentine's Day cards, it worked out perfectly that I recently received an email from Tiny Prints asking me to check out their cute selection of Valentine's Day cards and write up a little post about them. In exchange, they would send me free Valentine's Day cards of my choosing. Always one to send a little snail mail when I have the excuse (despite my extreme distaste for the postal service), I was thinking about making a few cards to send to the grandparents and other family members. There are some very cute cards to choose from, and I always end up getting our photo cards from Shutterfly or Tiny Prints (sister companies) anyways. They have cards that don't require a photo, but you can bet the farm that I'm gonna take every opportunity to plaster my kid's sweet little face on a card and send it off to his adoring fans grandparents.


So I'm torn between this one:

Short, simple, and to-the-point

this one:

My baby really enjoys playing with cars and trucks, so this would fit personality-wise.

or this one (because really- how much longer am I going to have a say in cute things like this??):

This card is totally gender-neutral. There is green and blue and orange and brown on there. I will rationalize it however I need to in order to convince myself that my child's cute mug NEEDS to be on this card.

So what do you think? Should I do my boy a solid and go with the all-boy truck theme? Should I go with my own selfish wants and desires and pick the "Be Mine" card? Or should I settle for some common ground and go with the simple first option? 
I AM TERRIBLE AT THESE DECISIONS, Y'ALL. No, seriously, you should see how long it takes for me to design our Christmas cards. WEEKS, I tell you. Many agonizing weeks.
