Happy Valentine's Day


I enjoy making Valentines just like when we were kids. As my friends and family and I age, more and more are finding themselves single again and so we are revisiting sending these out to each other and not reserving it for our beloved husbands.

How about you? Who do remember this holiday?

Getting ready for Valentine's Day.
But I have a lot going on right now.
So I just threw a little something together.

Have to include chocolate for my sweets.
But since they are all adults now and money is tight, I figured they would appreciate a little extra cash to be able to go out with their girl friends/boy friend.
So I used currency to fold into hearts.


These were quick and easy using a couple bags of candy, pint mason jars, scraps of fabric that I cut into circles using a bowl for a template with curling ribbon and some leftover tags for decoration.

This covers my son, grandson and granddaughter.
I am going to do something else with my daughter but haven't decided exactly what yet.

Oh, and that is one of the new lampshades I made for Valentine's Day although I just haven't had time yet to get out my decorations for Valentine's Day. But then I still have a few days!
