Learning to Love Letters

Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Soooooo I don't know about all of you, but I LOOOOOOOOOVE Valentine's Day!
It may be that I love the colors,
or maybe it's the cuteness,
or maybe because it's 5 days after my bday,
or maybe it's the candy,
or maybe it's because it reminds us all to share the love....
No matter why I love it: I JUST DO!
I digress.
While planning for the holiday this year I had to change it up a bit. First of all I had these kiddos last year, so the same old box of tricks isn't going to be as fun. Secondly, they are a little older and I just need something a bit tougher.
Then this appeared at my desk. 

and it hit the spot!

Voila:
