Love it and I would do the same thing always trying to get the most from the $. I love the cards too and how much fun the boys must have had. I cant wait to share this one with my married girls. My son grew up on Lego’s and I always say that is why he is a math wiz and an Engineer, Or sometimes I pretend he is got his brilliant mind from me. :)Marybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029117464863811312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068840590776383100.post-45382602735336562102014-02-24T12:40:42.385-05:002014-02-24T12:40:42.385-05:00You just crack me up Kelly!

I bet the store clerks hate seeing you coming - getting so much more for your money they they expect - although they are probably safe given that most people wouldn't want to do that for an hour and a half! but what fun cards! and so nice to have the kids take part so they appreciate what is being done for their friends! I bet all the kids in school wish they were in your son's classes to get these fun Valentines! thanks for giving all the details - in case I chance to wander out to a Lego's store!

I still have Legos from my girls, and don't forget my Joyce-a-ma-jig stamp positioner made out of Lego. Love that it is not candy, too. We live so close to Legoland, both my girls grew up going there several times a week. Legos always make me smile.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628064051832366762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068840590776383100.post-37405720891695883252014-02-23T12:08:11.908-05:002014-02-23T12:08:11.908-05:00Hey Kelly, Thanks for the card. like all the othe...Hey Kelly, Thanks for the card. like all the others before me have said it, the idea is simply so cute and adorable.

(I watch for your engineering prowess in everything you do. If you made a bridge out of Legos, I'd drive across it!) I'm wondering what the brick count would be for the folks who just throw them in the container. If you can come up with the equation, I'll nominate you for the Nobel prize.<br /><br />One question. How did you manage copying on the 110 pound cardstock? Can they only do this at a copy shop, or is there a home printer that would do this?<br /><br />Your children have learned so thoroughly the joy of giving others a bit of themselves. The classmates love the Valentine's, and their parents are blown away AGAIN by your creativity. You really are the enlighten soul who lives in the moment; it's so rare these days. Thank you for sharing that gift.Marcie Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789336639923008101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068840590776383100.post-42214396209065124342014-02-23T10:02:43.816-05:002014-02-23T10:02:43.816-05:00we love lego too.
