Valentine Day Cards:Â I am blessed to have found my best friend from junior high on FB a couple of months ago…when I learned that she had just been elected President of the Greater Sacramento Kiwanis Club and was putting together an event to make Valentine cards for Chemo patients and Seniors…I was eager to assist.
On a quiet Sunday afternoon, I sat down with a stack of REAL RED, WHISPER WHITE card stock and GLIMMER paper and some retired products from the Holiday Catalog and then selected some of my favorite stamp sets: BLOOMIN’ LOVE, FEATHER TOGETHER, and FALLING FOR YOU.  I turned on my CLASSICAL music and just got into a frenzy of card making!!!  It gave me a nostalgic feeling of when I was in grade school and would sit at the kitchen table with my Mom and younger brothers to put together Valentine cards for our classmates. Just the joy and chatter around the table as we licked stickers and glued glitter to our creations. Such a simple act of love and friendship. Of course, it has been years since then…but the feeling of good will from that experience still remains.
After posting my box of cards; I was thrilled to get a FB Post thanking me for my donation.  I am so happy to have contributed and share a little goodwill and joy for those in need this Valentines Day! I was grateful for the chance to revisit those feelings of joy from my youth…thinking about my Mom and siblings…about what family and friends means. There is always enough LOVE to go around…it you spread it…it doesn’t happen automatically.
I hope that you have a wonderful day of love and good feelings…and can spread a little love to those in need on your Valentine’s Day as well! Blessings Kat
