Love it or leave it

Valentines 2011...floating hearts.

I adore Valentine's Day.

I know, I know, what's a nice Jewish woman doing celebrating a holiday named after a saint? Whatever. It's all about spreading the love!

I have been making this year's hand crafted cards for weeks now, painstakingly gluing miniscule strands of tinsel to slivers of card stock, creating the illusion of flames shooting out the back end of a rocket ship.

The first iteration of the cards looked more like sperm than rockets, but I fixed them. Easily. Art sometimes takes a little tweaking now and then before it's just right.

The 2014 Valentine card.

I've already given one card in person, but due to a bit of laziness on my part, most will be a little late on delivery. No matter, a card is a card is a card, unless you're one of the lucky few to get one of mine!

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all. May you find love, have it requited, and share it (appropriately, of course) with everyone you know. I sure hope my love and I find each other this year.

Oh, and Shabbat Shalom!
