Happy Hearts
February 13th, 2008
These are the valentine’s I made for this year. I didn’t manage to get them in the mail until today, even though I made them two weeks ago! It’s a little garland of hearts, using a combination of fabric and paper, sewn to ribbon. On each I heart I wrote something I love about each person–sentimental, I know. The garland folds into this heart, which turns into the envelope in the bottom picture. I found the envelope idea in Martha Stewart a few years back.
I’m off to Phoenix for an overnight business trip. I’ll be in town long enough to sleep and have a 9am meeting, and then I’ll hopefully be back in time for a Valentine dinner with my husband. What are you up to?

Hey Dacia. That garland is such a sweet idea, one that will last long past the holiday. Here’s hoping you make it back in time for dinner and a little romance.
