Handmade Valentine Envelopes

An early Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Valentine's Day has always been a special day in my family. My mum would (and still does) assemble a beautiful card for me, along with some other little surprises. It was so much fun for me - especially in the doldrums of the Canadian winter - that I've tried to continue the tradition, with family members and friends around the world.

So...here are the Valentine's Day cards that I posted earlier this week. OK, I didn't really post them in this box, as it's a replica of a British post box. Being a complete Anglophile, I jumped at the chance to get one of these when I spotted them for sale in a shop in Yorkton, Saskatchewan last Christmas.

And here is a photo of some of the Valentines I sent...do you maybe see your address among them? This year, I got a template for making envelopes, so I decided to make all the envelopes myself, using colourful Valentine-themed papers.

Are you curious to know what's inside those delectable red, pink and white envelopes? There's a surprise for everyone who receives one of them in their mailbox...and I'll share what that surprise is right here, online, on Valentine's Day. Check back on February 14th, Heart Day! :-)
