4 Old Valentines

 

 

Thought I better get these posted before Valentine's Day!  I had surgery Wednesday and am better, but will have much more to be done and probably take most of the year to complete and not sure if they can fix some things ... that's okay if they can't!  I am grateful to be here and grateful for the many blessings in my life.  Still can't get over the fact that I am a great grandma!  I love it and feel SO lucky!!  Many never have the pleasure of even one, and here I am with 5 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN!!!  Don't know what I've done to deserve my good fortune, but this I know ... those little angels are my heart, they have caused a light in my world that nothing can extinguish, how grateful I am and how very much I love them!  I hope I can make them all valentines.  It may not mean much now, but in 30 years they will (I hope) treasure the handmade cards from their great grandma ... 

May love, peace and joy fill your day and ... be sweet!!  XXOOX

More Old Valentines For You

 

Just a few more of the gorgeous old valentine cards for you.  They are just too cute and, though not exactly like those of today, they have a quality about them that I don't find in today's valentine cards. Somehow, they seem to convey the childhood innocence of little ones.  I remember how we laughed and compared, showing our valentines to all our friends.  We were so proud and they were absolute treasures to us!!  I could hardly wait to show mine to my grandmas.  Being grandmas, they acted every bit as excited as I did!!  Isn't it funny?  I do the same thing today.  You are free to use them as you wish or right click to bring up original size, print on cardstock and, voila ... your own set of old valentines.  I have found it works much better to use an ivory or something lightly sepia in a cardstock to bring out the "old" quality in them or take them to you digital imaging program to change the colors slightly if you would like.  Anyway I hope you like them as much as I do.

Be sweet and remember to always treat others as you would like to be treated.
