Yes girls, it's that time of the year again! My 4th annual handmade Valentines swap is gearing up, so if you'd like to join us this year please sign up here. So many have done this with me each year and it's been so much fun, the talent you girls have is inspiring to say the least! Just in case you are new, all we do is make a old fashioned Valentine card for each person on the list that you will get once this has been closed. The average made was about 30, I think our first year was close to 40 and what keepsakes! I look forward to this each year now, it's like getting tiny treasures in the mail. The deadline to enter is Jan. 10 with a mail date of Feb. 1 so everyone can enjoy them in time for the day of love. This will also be posted in a couple of other departments so all can find it but this is the place to sign up, so get your creative juices flowing and let's make some Valentines!

Wanted to thank everyone again for the beautiful Valentines!! I did receive my last two from Sue and Tammy on Saturday, but we were not here to get our mail until Monday. I'm thinking about a special way to keep these treasures. Any ideas? I think I read that someone was going to scrapbook them, that sounds nice :) Any other ideas?

Wanted to thank everyone for the cards. Very creative. This is the first time I have ever made cards and I kept them very simple. But for next year, thanks to your creativeness, I will do better. Have a great February.

All the joy brought to us by paper, glitter and glue-oh and even chamomile tea to sip while looking them over!! The simple things in life are indeed the best. God bless everyone of you for bringing joy into my trips to the mailbox!
