Finished valentines

I had a lot of fun making these. My main concern was that the paper flowers would be too big to let them fit into the envelopes, but it turned out not to be a big problem. It just makes them a little bulgy. Can't wait to send them out. :)

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. :) ♥
