Be My Valentine{s}

“Oh, if it be to choose and call then mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!”

~Thomas Hood

Valentine’s Day has long been my favorite holiday of the year.  There is something so charming and sentimental about a day set aside to celebrate love, don’t you think? I love the symbols and connotations of Valentine’s Day:  cupid,  pink doilies,  red hearts and, who could forget, romance.

Of course Valentine’s Day isn’t just for lovers.  It’s a wonderful day to celebrate all the people in your life you love and hold dear.  Whether children, friends or family,  what a perfect time to share how much someone means to you.

Perhaps not surprisingly, handmade Valentines are one of my most treasured Valentine traditions.  I love making them and I love receiving them.  I save them all and each year take out some of my most cherished Valentines to display with love every February. Today I’m going to share them with you!

A sweet bird from a sweet friend~We always exchange Valentines, and I always look forward to it!

Love is in the air!

This is from my Freddy when he was into paper airplanes.

For my stylin’ friends…

This Valentine from my friend Danielle makes me feel so special, what a wonderful way to kick off the season!

Handmade Valentines are a family tradition, I love this one with a quote from Em.When one heart is just not enough…

Inspired by similar handmade Valentines on this year’s Paper Source catalog, I made this guitar card for Freddy.

Love Rocks!

Watercolor martini painted by me, cheers to you Valentine!

Do you recognize this winged girl?  😉

If your own words fail you, a quote will do wonderfully!

I’m so happy I saved Valentines made by little hands.  They bring me back to days at the kitchen table strewn with glitter and glue, making Valentines for each other.  These Valentines are so sweet and never fail to touch my heart.

So doll up in pink and red today, don a bright and shiny red lipstick, and go ahead and kiss someone on the lips!  It’s time to fall “head over heels” in love with the day set aside to celebrate friendship, love, and happiness!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

xoxo,

Pamela
