Even if Valentine's Day is technically a Hallmark Holiday, how can anyone be against the celebration of love? Each year, I make dozens of cards from scratch and enjoy every moment of the process. In fact, Tuesday's lunch hour was spent browsing in Paper Source where I stocked up on glitters, papers and pens. Though I'm no Martha Stewart, I think my friends and family enjoy getting a little handmade treat each February 14th.

I hope you all have wonderful weekends. I'll be back on Tuesday!
