So here’s what I did for the 4 grandparents for Valentine’s Day. I bought a package of heart-shaped mouse pads<\/a> from Oriental Trading Company <\/a>and fit in a pic of the boys from among the “A Hard Day’s Night”<\/a> photo shoot.<\/p>\n

Feedback from 3 of the 4 grandparents is that they’re very cute and they seem to love them!<\/p>\n

I thought I could simply take a 3 x 5 pic and slip it into the mousepad, but I was mistaken. I ended up making sure the boys were against a somewhat white background so I could cut the silouette pictures and affix them into the mousepad. I have some Post-It note photopaper<\/a> with which you peel off a backing and there’s a light adhesive to keep the photo from slipping. It’s nice for stuff like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
