Last night, my husband and I stayed up making these valentines for all of my daughter's class. I thought that the kiddos would recieve enough treats, and wanted to make them something different. I decided to make them all a mix of E's favorite Disney love songs. We used Marta's handy dandy CD sleeve tutorial. Then, we printed off the playlist and glued it to the front. Inserted the CDs into their cases and secured with red+white baker's twine.
I massively underestimated the time this project would take. As we were finishing up this project last night at 1:30 a.m., my husband turned to me and said, "Hannah, you know there is a reason that people buy boxed valentines from Walmart, don't you?" Yes, yes, I know. I learned my lesson.
*For those who have asked, I actually purchased the music when it was on sale online for $1, and I bought it enough times for the whole class. So no copyright infringements.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but do you realize that copying and distributing Disney music is illegal? Thousands of people lose jobs each year because of music pirating. I would hate for you to get fined because you shared music.
ReplyDeleteOh, boo hoo anonymous...people have been making mixed tapes for years...she wasn't mass distributing for profit.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! This would make a great blog giveaway! (Hint hint!) :]
ReplyDeleteP.S. Why do people leave comments like that as anonymous? If it is important enough for you to say, sign your name. Show some pride, people! Oye! (Sorry. Major pet peeve)
Don't I feel sheepish! I just finished checking out google reader. Sorry I missed it!

ReplyDeletebut these in no way shape or form resemble Walmart valentines..... I wish I was in her class. (thank you for the sweeeeeet comment on my blog. I have two that are different. I think if we ever met each other we would be friends for sure!)
