Pocket full of kisses

My oldest is going back to preschool next week after a full summer of being around me all the time. He's prone to separation anxiety, so I threw together this little project to remind him that his dad and I are thinking about him while he's in class.

When he opens his bag, he'll find a small photo of Mom & Dad and a pocket full of 'kisses and hugs' that he can tuck into his own pockets whenever he's feeling lonely at preschool. The pocket (back layer still attached so it functions as a pocket) is cut from an old pair of jeans, and I stitched a piece of clear vinyl over the top to protect the photo and keep it in place. I used my Silhouette to cut out the lettering on the photo, and a bunch of little X & O hugs and kisses (or is it kisses and hugs?) to put inside the pocket. The whole project was done in less than ten minutes, but I think it will really ease my son's transition into the routine of preschool. Linking up to:
