Valentine Poem for Cookie Kit {free download}

Hey Everyone, I am postponing my "what I'm lovin" friday series this week to share this fun Valentines Printable Poem and gift idea. 
 I shared this printable on Skip to My Lou last week and thought I would share it here as well in case you missed it. I came up with this idea and knew I had to share! Who wouldn't love to receive this "cookie kit". Almost everyone I know loves sugar cookies...but not the work involved to make them. That's where you come in!
I made the cookies and tied them with twine. I also made frosting and put it into cute little jars. Next, take some sprinkles and put them in these easy clear containers. (I bought them at walmart...we keep them on hand for sauces and sides in school lunches. :)
 Print and cut out the poem.
 Stuff your gift box with cute themed tissue paper and add your cookies and decorating supplies!
  Wrap with ribbon and you've got yourself a gift that anyone would love to receive this Valentine's Day!
 Click here to download the poem.

Affordable Gift Idea

I usually have to get really creative when gift giving on a student loan budget. I wanted to find something to give that was practical, affordable, and not crap. :)
I found these little notebooks at Hobby lobby for $1.99 a set. I think they are adorable and I LOVE these. One is a little notepad that you could fit in your purse, the taller one has a magnet on the back, perfect for the fridge. I bought these and some little candies to give as gifts.
I found these brown bags at hobby lobby 2/$1.00. I bought the tissue that was normally $3.99 for 50% off. Which I will have tons leftover to use for other things. I wanted to keep things simple. I made some gift tags in photoshop you can download here. I like to share! (Like with all my designs...I am NOT a designer, I just like to do it for fun.) I also used raffia which I didn't take a picture of. I always have raffia on hand.
Got my handy dandy 2" scallop punch and punched out my tags. I use this baby for cupcake toppers and party labels as well.
I then got my hole punch and punched 2 holes to thread my raffia through.
I threaded the raffia through the holes with the tag on it, and then back behind and through the holes again to tie in front. Make sense? I know I am horrible at describing. Here's a pic.
And there you have it.
I just wrote on the back, but planned to maybe add a little notecard inside with the gift.
Cute and simple and affordable!
