diy: valentines scavenger hunt.

(i know i said garlands were next, but i decided to switch. they will be coming soon though promise!) 

last year for v day, i sent mister b on a scavenger hunt. boy, that was fun!

not only was it fun for him, but i had a blast making the clues, picking out his favorite candies, and sending him on my wild goose chase! obviously there are a million different ways to do a scavenger hunt, but here's how i did ours.

supplies needed: 
* paper (red and pink to be festive)
* his favorite candy, treat, anything
* puzzle of sorts (homemade is more fun and personal!)
* a grand prize 

steps: 
* come up with the clues. they can rhyme, or if that makes your brain hurt - they don't.
whatever your little heart desires.

now, don't copy mine because it's way more coming up with your own, but below is the list of my clues.  
(i only did five because our apartment isn't all that big... but you can do as many as you like.)



put by the front door:
 "you have now begun your very own valentines scavenger hunt. i know, sweet huh? it shouldn't take very long, but don't miss any clues or you won't find your grand prize! your first clue is on the couch. good luck soldier!"

#1: roses are red, violets are blue, for your next clue look in a _ _ _ _. (hint: 4 letters, rhymes with blue.)
#2: february 14th, full of red and pink - to find the next clue, look under the _ _ _ _.
#3: good job! you found me, there's only one more - to finish this chase, look behind the _ _ _ _.
#4: haha, just kidding - i'm making things hard, to end this chase go west 12 yard(s). *ok, maybe feet - but that doesn't rhyme.*
#5: yay! you did it - now wasn't this fun, put the pieces together and your all done! *after completing the puzzle, look on the back to find your valentine!*

* with each clue you can attach the candy/treat - i put his favorite treats with each one and a piece to this puzzle:

all materials found at wal-mart.
back - with baby pic of yours truly

some may think this is a tad cheesy - but we had so much fun with it... i might even do another one this year :)

enjoy!


sincerely,
mrs. b

  6. Oh yeah, that one is cheesy! Haha! But that's just perfect for Valentines; you're excused. Glad to hear that Mister B participated in your scavenger hunt whole-heartedly. I'm sure that he's more than willing to do any challenge just to get to you.

  65. Safety at sea includes the safety of both the people on board and the people on land, as well as the safety of the cargo being moved. Shipping is bad for the environment because of the waste that is released during operations and by accident. Operational discharges are when oil and other harmful substances, ballast water, antifouling substances, trash, and sewage are released automatically or on purpose (Roberts 2007). There are things that affect safety both inside and outside of the maritime industry. Internal factors include the ship's condition and its equipment, as well as the skills of the people on board.. homework assignment writer The condition of waterways and maritime safety systems, the standard of vessel traffic services, the assistance provided by pilots and icebreakers, and the information that is readily available on the weather, ice, and water level are all examples of external variables. Making certain that the rules are followed and determining who is responsible for what aspects of marine safety are both extremely important aspects. To ensure the safety of those traveling by sea, each of these aspects is subject to specific regulations. Homework Assignment.
