Inspiration--Attempt--Fail--Improvise!

I am constantly blog hopping these days after the kiddos go to bed.  I love finding inspiration from other moms out there having fun with their kids!  I was recently inspired by THIS blogger about a fun handprint/Valentine's Day craft.  Hers turned out so beautifully...and neat.

Mine?  Well that's another story...tons of paint, handprints, footprints, and even a little finger paint snack.  :)

So...since my children went their own way, I decided we will be doing something completely different!  I recently purchased two rolls of Valentine's Day wrapping paper from the dollar bins at Target.  I plan to mount Michael and Ryleigh's creations in various shapes on the wrapping paper to create February placemats!  I just need a place to hard laminate them...any suggestions?  I will DEFINITELY post pics when they are complete.  I can't wait to use them and keep them forever.
