Last night our 6-yr old son and 4-yr old daughter were getting along splendidly (not always the case) and decided to be Valentines. Our son made paper Valentines for our girl, then serenaded her with the song "You are My Sunshine". She was beaming. I took a small video of the scene, not wanting it to end. Time refuses to stand still, but those moments make a lasting impression. I hope they'll remember.
Now..speaking of sweet hearts, here is a fabric heart envelope I designed to hold little love notes. It's got a hand-knit pink heart on the front and includes several Valentine cards.
I was excited to share this listing with you from the store, but it pales in comparison to these:

awww, that is the best story ever!
ReplyDeleteValentines is one of my fave times of year because of the memories of those little sweet cards past at school.
Making the little mailboxes to put them in. I agree, kids valentines are the best. So innocent and sweet.
Love your pink knit heart on these.
very sweet indeed.
