This sweet little craft of mail-able hugs was so easy. The kids loved it. (They would honestly put paint-y hand prints on stuff everyday, if I let them.) I ripped this idea out of a Family Fun magazine from a few years ago (pre-Pinterest), and now I can’t find a link. Sorry. Annnyway…… These are…Read More
