Handmade and Heartfelt

I received a Valentine's Day card today and it was handmade with construction paper, foamy lips, chocolates for eyes and a paper doily - as precious as the girls who made it! This is Valentine's Day to a "T" isn't it? Paper, scissors, glue and of course, a little chocolate (optional but very much appreciated in our house).

A lot of people get stressed about Valentine's Day and what to get or do. Others feel left out because of their relationship status. And still others are downright angry. Hmm. I wish I could send everyone a handmade and heartfelt Valentine's Day card to say - You are awesome all by yourself, you are great - don't change a thing, your authenticity and kindness are such gifts, have faith that good things are out there for you...and other wonderful sentiments that I'd send out all day long.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Surprise someone with a Valentine's Day card - Who isn't expecting one? Who deserves one? Who could really use one? It's not too late for hand delivery - isn't that how all the kids will do it on Monday when they trade them all around with icing laden fingers.

I sent some of my own out this morning. I know they won't all make it in time but many of them are local and definitely will (I know the recipients will forgive my tardiness - it is the thought that counts after all).


Counting on my fingers and toes: Delta (8), Surrey (6), Richmond (1), Osoyoos (1), & South Korea (1) - add another 17 to the count...
