Valentine's Day warm fuzzies

Ordinarily I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day, but as this year is all about trying new things I decided to send homemade cards to my nearest and dearest. Lord knows I have plenty of crafting supplies and it was an ideal way of using the scrap-booking paper I found in the dollar bin at Target. Each card was also embroidered with a different cutesy message.

It felt good to set aside time to work on the cards and it was exciting to put them in the mail. I'm normally not this sentimental, but I thought it would be a nice gesture and could brighten someone's day. The cards were a hit. My mom cried when hers arrived.

So Valentine's Day went off without a hitch and now I have more ideas on what I can make folks for upcoming holidays. St. Patrick's Day embroidered coasters anyone?
