February - The Month of Love!

I remember getting ready for Valentine's Day as a child.  So fun to make a Valentine box out of an old shoe box.   Sometimes a Kleenex box.  We'd use red and white crepe paper - construction paper.  I wish I had one of my boxes now.  But can't save everything!  Every kid had a Valentine box, and we made or used store bought cards like I have in my header picture.  We'd take our box and cards to school and the box would go up in the front of the class room.  We'd take turns putting all our cards into a box for each and every child.  We didn't just give to our special friends. 
In cleaning (boy the things I've found!) I brought out an old paper sack to the kitchen table and Far Side and Gene, and hubby and I looked through all the old cards and post cards that was inside.  There were these Valentine cards.  I think these may have been from the 50' or 60's.   There is one little "puppy" valentine (actually there are 3 of those cards, that I'm going to be sending to Granddaughter Renee.

I think these cards are so cute.  When I tried to find a card the other day in the drug store, I had a terrible time picking one out.  Got so frustrated, that I decided I was going to use some of these cards.  Might as well, they just sitting in the brown sack and would probably be thrown out some day later when someone else would have to go through things! 

Hope you're all warm and snuggly inside.  Sounds like that snow storm is hitting a lot of my blogging friends!

We're having a chilly, but very sunny day.  No new snow here.  Minneapolis/St.Paul is 4 hours south of us, and they got about 4 inches.  Our snow settled a little after last week when we were in the mid-30's for a couple of days.

Keep warm, Jo
