tokens of love

Filed under: made gifts — admin at 2:18 pm on Friday, February 9, 2007

I like Valentines Day. Not because I am a romantic or I expect expensive jewelry, I just like the day. I like the red/pink combo. you see all over the stores and I especially like it because my soon to be 6 year old’s birthday is the 15th (he was my late Valentine!).

I also like this day because it brings out the “homemade” in people. Cards, candies, thoughtful gestures making people feel special. I don’t even expect anything from my husband- although a card is nice.

I know some people hate it. Thinking it’s a “Hallmark” holiday, but it’s a nice diversion in the middle of winter for me.

Anyway, I made these little necklaces for my kids- to wear close to their hearts knowing I always love them. I also plan to make little pillows for their beds and maybe some chocolates to share!

Have a Happy Weekend- I know I will, now that I feel MUCH MUCH better!

Aww, those are really cute.
I share you feelings about Valentine’s Day. It really brings up happy feelings each year, reminding me through all my senses that winter is nearing its end.
I don’t always get a chance to make much myself (one day…) but I enjoy things that my kids make, a lot.
Have a happy one!

What a sweet post; the necklaces are adorable. Hey, my birthday is the 15th, too! All the hoopla for Valentine’s Day just makes our day that much more festive. :)

[…] Last week when I posted about my necklaces I made for my kids, I had a few people comment on my ring. So, I thought this would be a perfect post. […]
