spread the love
3 more weeks til Valentine’s Day, people. Last year I took part in two valentine making charity events. The first was hosted by Fred Flare.com. People made homemade valentines, which were sold on Fred Flare’s website and the proceeds went to Elder Craftsmen, an organization that assists senior citizens in making handmade crafts. Here are some of the submissions. Mine’s the one with the 2 boys in love on a bicycle.
At Etsy Labs in Brooklyn, my friend Andrea Rosen and I made valentines that were included with Meals on Wheels deliveries on Valentine’s Day. Andrea is one of my favorite people to make valentines with because she is not only fun to be with, she’s the fastest crafter in the Northeast. Watching her blaze through a pile of paper is a sight to behold. Here’s us doing what we love with scissors and glue.
Make a handmade valentine for someone who maybe least expects one.
Spread the love.

Beautiful cards and a great sentiment, but I’m scissors-impaired. In 4th grade, my construction paper turkey looked like a giant Rohrshach ink blot. (No, I did not look up how to spell Rohrshach so it’s wrong, I’m sure.) I could try making valentines. However, I could spend five minutes on each card, including signing and addressing, and it would look like someone hurled up construction paper or I could spend an hour on each card and it would still look like someone hurled up construction paper.
