Since I was a little girl I have loved exchanging mail. It perhaps started with my mother's postcard collection. All those beautiful images from far away locations, the beaches, the monuments, the "I wish you were here" sentiments... I was a girl with a vivid imagination and a notorious daydreamer. These postcards were windows into possible dreams.
One year while in junior high, our entire class got pen-pals, and oh boy, I embraced that with such energy that rare was the week I didn't get a letter. Somewhere I have a huge box of postcards from all over the world. I really should unearth it one of these days.
So when I come across things like this fabulous handmade Valentine card exchange, it is impossible for me to resist.
I love to use recycled materials in my crafts, and for this year's Valentines I grabbed my old financial statements and turned them into colorful hearts with the help of watercolors.
Inside, I wrote a fitting quote
The Valentines are on their way, and I really hope they make someone happy.
