25 Candy-Free Valentines with Free Printables
Valentine’s Day is coming up! I love having a holiday as an excuse to do little things to show my affection for those I love. And really, who doesn’t remember how much fun Valentine’s Day was as a kid, with class parties and fun valentines for each classmate. But, since I’m trying to eat a little healthier, I thought I’d see what I could find for candy-free valentines. And you may have heard of this little craze going on right now called the Rainbow Loom? So I put the two together and today I have, just for you, 15 non-candy valentine ideas plus 10 loom bracelet valentine printables from creative bloggers all around the web. Happy Valentine’s Day!
