oh la la

Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! I got a little surprise treat from my hubby... Roger made a yummy Gateau Basque (yes, that is a gooey jam filling you see). Just writing this post is making me hungry... hmmm... perhaps time for a another slice. :)

valentine cards are here

Remember Valentine's Day in elementary school?.... ahh, those were the days. My mom made me write one to everyone in the class... even if I thought a few of the boys were "icky". As a kid, it was such a dilemma to find the right little card in the punch-out Valentine's book that just said "Happy Valentine's Day" without giving off the message of "I like you". They should have made one that said... "Happy Valentine's, classmate. My mom made me send this."

Well... on a related note...I have brought back some card designs in time for Valentine's Day! Two designs available... one with heart and branches and the other with Mr. Squirrel and acorn heart. Both designs are printed on heavy rich archival matte paper with Ultrachrome K3 archival inks... and they are blank inside... so you can personalize your message as love-dovey, or not as lovey-dovey as you like. Check them out in the etsy shop here.

happy valentine's day! - encore

Ok... since Valentine's Day falls on the weekend this year, I figure instead of posting just the one card, I would post another today to keep the love vibe going all through the weekend. xoxo.

happy valentine's day!

It's a perfect day to kiss and hug a loved one, family member or friend... or maybe even send them a card. I remember in elementary school, there would always be a classroom party on Valentine's Day. Everyone would tape a big manila envelope to the front of their desks, and we would all walk around and deliver each other's cards, all the while ingesting mass amounts of sugary treats. Too bad we still don't have this tradition as adults... although I guess it would be a bit weird and might create "harassment" problems in the workplace... so perhaps, best to leave it to the kids. Happy Valentine's Day!
