Will You Be My Valentine....

Do you remember the days of handing out 

Valentine's Day Cards in school?

Remember getting the classroom list with 

all the names of the students in your class,

so you were sure not to forget someone

or

spell their name wrong....

I can remember...

I remember going to the stationary store

to chose my "special" Valentine's 

to be addressed by me in the most

perfect handwriting I could achieve for the 

grade and age I was at that given year....

And it seemed no matter how much you wanted 

to avoid getting those nasty 

different colored hearts

with the lame Valentine promise written on them..

Everyone from A to Z in your class

handed them out..!

My fondest memories were the years my son

hand crafted his own V-Day cards..

He attended private school during his primary school years,

and I would like to say his class size was

much less in size than the public school,

not so with his class.

Every year we searched for a theme,

purchased the materials needed

with Jere being ready and eager to start his 

V-Day Card Creations..
It was always very interesting what he created,
given the fact of his gender....

 I longingly remember the treats he brought home were

 those of Mother's who loved the kitchen

as much as I do...

Rarely did he come home with a V-Day treat 

that wasn't home made...

I miss those days,

It always gave me an excuse to whip up

a batch of something yummy 

to share...

Here is a link to some homemade Valentine's Cards 

Let the creativity juices flow for

your very own special Valentine this year!..
