Valentine’s Day from the city of love…

Since I have taken a break from dating and don’t have a special romantic valentine this year, I focused my celebration of Valentine’s Day instead on my family…specifically, my three grandchildren (ages 5, 3, and 1).

First, I purchased age appropriate Valentine’s Day cards and stickers for my grandchildren.  They love getting mail.  I mailed the cards through the Loveland, CO Chamber of Commerce Valentine Re-Mailing Program.  The program volunteers stamp this cachet on the envelope before mailing it out: Valentine's Day

Next, I purchased 10″ chipboard hearts, 2″ chipboard letters and two cans of spray paint from Hobby Lobby.  I wanted to mimic the hearts which hang from the light poles lining the streets of Loveland each year. I painted the hearts and attached them to a tree in my front yard.  I had fun picking out the cards, stickers, and making the Valentine hearts.  No regrets about not having a special valentine this year.  I have three!

My grandkids made me construction paper Valentine’s Day cards. They are precious!

You don’t have to have a romantic valentine to celebrate this great day of love. I think this year’s Valentine’s Day has been one of my all time favorites because I can feel the love.

Please share your special time with your significant others this Valentine’s Day in the comment section below.  I’d love to hear from you.
