Heart-to-heart Valentine-making event, Saturday February 6
Is there any annual holiday whose crafts I more enjoy than Valentine's Day? It's definitely on my top three. But many years, I find myself cutting out hearts as the sun sets on the 13th, watching the missed opportunities for Valentine delight setting along with them.
Determined to not let this year be a missed opportunity, a few of us urbanMamas are gathering Saturday at 3 p.m. at CHAP (the Children's Healing Art Project), a nonprofit that provides in-hospital art experiences for sick children and a space in the Pearl District -- the Art Factory -- to host open art "play" during weekends and daily throughout the holiday season. We'll be making Valentines with our kids and hope you can come too!
1030 NW Marshall
Saturday, February 6
3 - 5 p.m.
Please let us know if you plan to come in the comments; we'll be picking up the $5/child tab for those urbanMama families who join in.
Planning to be there!

anonamama: I don't think 19 mos is too young, but he probably will need a lot of assistance :)

Possibly another mama and 3 year old. Are we making these for ourselves or for children in hospital? Either way will be fun. Just curious.
