We plan to give the hearts on sticks to family and friends on Valentine's Day.
We had more magazine hearts than coffee stirrer sticks so we also used some to make a heart mobile with a stick from our nature basket and bits of ribbon.
Sunnyboy found a picture of a dog in one of the magazines we cut the hearts from and it's his favourite magazine heart. As I have an appointment at the IVF clinic on Valentine's Day, Sunnyboy decided this heart should be for our babies (our frozen embryos). He told me I can take it with me to give to the doctor and "ask him to put it on the freezer".
