Hearts & Flowers

Be My Valentine!

I love Valentine's Day with all the pink, red, and white, the lace, hearts, and flowers! I'm not usually someone who goes for frills, but I make an exception for this holiday!

My daughter-in-law sells my cards in her shop, and has been after me for Valentines. I recently sat down and colored a bunch of images, then started putting the cards together. The following are just a few that I've finished so far. More to come in the next week!

Gingham Galore!

The inside reads, " I love you almost as much as I love my dog. Happy Valentine's Day!"

It is not for sale in Mo's shop, but can be purchased here along with the others.  Read more about it on  Jak's Blog and purchase the package to support a good cause.
