Bee My Valentine


I haven’t given out Valentine’s Day cards since elementary school, but this year I decided to use my giant box of ribbon and puffy paint from college to create small, youthful Valentines while I watched the Olympics. I am always a huge fan of hand-written stationery, whatever the season, but with the cold weather and my renewed craftiness, ribbon and glue gun temptation trumped classic cards this time. There is something so refreshing about a cheesy card; maybe it’s the memories it brings back about saving your favorite Disney valentines for your third grade crushes or the impending sugar high after you ate your weight in candy hearts, but it feels like a seemingly silly card has substantially boosted my mood this afternoon. I’d love to know, what are you doing for your loved ones on Valentine’s Day? P.S. All entries for the wine giveaway must be made in the comments section here. 

Note: I've printed the small cards and glued Burt's Bees Chapstick to each; you could also attach the card to a jar of artisanal honey! Honestly, the cheesier, the better.
