Every year I bust out the crafting supplies and make Valentine cards. In the past they have been fancy with ribbons and bows and little details sewed on and glassine envelopes and eyelets and lots of embossing. Last year I gave Mr. SoPink the task of running the embossing gun and halfway through he melted a big patch of carpet. We do not do the embossing here any longer.
This year, due to the long nights spent trying to get a robot to throw a ball through a hoop, the Valentine cards have pretty much gone back to the basics: construction paper and paste. Honestly, I am a little embarrased.
Nevertheless, if you would like a Valentine, please send your address to sliceofpink at gmail dot com.
Creating your own Valentine's Day cards sounds really great. I wish I had your motivation. This year I feel so behind on it already, and really need to get focused. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
Early *Happy Valentines Day* wishes.
:)

So men with glue guns have to ruin it for all of us! I guess we'll have to forgive - I am sure they will be super cute anyway - besides paste is MORE fun! :)

Wow, I haven't made my own Valentine's since grade school. I wonder if it's as much fun as an adult. By the way, be sure to check out my most recent post over at Fumblings.

Are you kidding?! You would actually solicit addresses to send people Valentines? You're very sweet but, honey, you're NUTS. ;^)

I got one! I got one! And the first thing I thought was, how is Janet so damn creative!?! They're beautiful. xoxo

Yes, I agree with Mr. Honeydew -- you are a little bit nuts. But also sweet, so it's okay. :) I can't BELIEVE that you do all that...crazy! (Embossing gun? What the heck is that? Is it anything like a glue gun?) I bet it would be fun once a person actually started. It's just the initial thought that can seem somewhat daunting... :)

Haha! Yes, Malia, please send me your address! I LOVE making Valentine cards and I always have extras.

You are inspiring. (seriously though) While I dont think I will make my own Valentines Cards, I think I will send a few out. Do post pictures of the finished products!
