Valentines

I've always liked making valentines. I loved personalizing each one and then handing them out to my friends at our homeschool group. I've been out of school for a while now, and I don't have that kind of regular interaction anymore (aside from work, and I wouldn't exactly go handing out cards covered in hearts to my coworkers). I wasn't going to make valentines this year, but then my mom invited me to go to a party that her girlfriends from work are throwing. It's like a gift exchange, except whoever's name you draw, you have to make them a valentine. And I figured, if I'm going to make one, why not make a whole bunch? So I descended upon my local Hobby Lobby with a ravenous delight I've not felt in a long time:

I'll be sending them to my family girls, and to a few of my close friends. I'll post pictures of the finished products in a day or two. I'll also be making cupcakes for the aforementioned event. I'll show you those too. :) ♥
