So, I took this pic for the love notes series on Smile and Wave. Remember folding notes like this in 7th grade? I know you all had (or have!) a shoebox of these in your closet. Do you remember how to fold them? Can't quite get it? Never fear – here's a little V-day love note pictorial tutorial to jog your memory.
Version 1:
Version 2:
Hide a special note for someone you're crushing on today, or pack one of these in your kids' lunch box. Try it now ... just for fun. :)

Aww..I still have some of my old notes. I had a shoebox full but threw most of them out during college, choosing to keep "the best" ones (and now I wish I'd kept them all).
These were the same two ways we usually folded notes. I wonder if everyone else did too?
Ah thanks for the memory of the universal jr. high fold:) Folding right now:) too fun!
haha...talk about taking me back...
hehe wow, I think we folded notes differently in Ohio. We'll have to compare notes... no pun intended... heh

Oh yeah, I still have a shoebox with notes like that from high school (I had a guy friend/boyfriend who used to write a ton). We used to fold them a different way though, interesting to see the different ways!

Cute! it made me very sad when i asked my younger cousin if they still passed notes in school...they don't, it's all text messages now. :(
Does anybody remember the ice cream cone fold?
Mmmm. This made me smile big.

Like a coodie catcher, only better, without foul words and sayings in it (that the teacher finds in your desk and you get sent to principal's office for...)
I so forgot about the note folding! Awesome! My nine year old will be thrilled to find one of these in her lunch on Monday!!!
