Little Tokens of Love--The Valentine I Received

I have already blogged below about what I sent to my "Little Tokens of Love" Valentine Swap partner...and here***drumroll, please***is the Valentine I received from Emily of Edge Gallery. It is a light-weight, paper heart that is painted in many beautiful shades but predominantly gold, red, and sky blue. Thank you so much, Emily, for taking the time to create this for me!

"Little Tokens of Love" Swap--What I Made!

The Prim and Whimsy s--Sweet B and Jeanne--hosted a fun, sweet Valentine "Little Tokens of Love" Swap. My swap partner was Emily of Edge Gallery (adorable artwork!). We were supposed to make a Valentine that would could fit into a 5"x5" box and no bigger. So, I decided to decorate a Valentine AND a box, "Why not?" I said to myself. I had the greatest fun. It reminded me of when I was a young child. I had a snow day from school. It was snowing furiously outside, and I sat at our kitchen table for much of the day making Valentines (which I usually did growing up). Thankfully Mom had all the stuff available so that I stayed busy that snowy day. Anyway, here are the pictures. Emily has received her Valentine, so no surprises will be spoiled by my post. On the Valentine itself I put a little envelope (I love multi-layered things that contain little treats) and, of course, put a little charm inside the envelope as a special treat for Emily.

Another Swap for the Romantic

Watched "Pride and Prejudice" again last night with my hubby (a good watch on one's wedding anniversary). He gave it to me as part of my anniversary present (along with a fluffy light pink bathrobe and perfume), and I'm a pathetic, total, and incurable romantic...just can't help it! Love the warm, fuzzy feeling of a good love story (perfect with feeling warm and fuzzy on the outside in that new bathrobe). So, while romance is on my mind, here is yet another swap I'm recommending. This swap is simple and sweet. What could be better than making a little hear-shaped, handcrafted, Valentine item? Visit Prim and Whimsy for all the details. You have until January 15 to enter!
