Valentines
/I made a group of Zentangle® tiles that started with a heart shape string…chose 6 of them for this post I am writing on the 14th…
I am remembering the printed cardstock Valentines from early elementary school. Everyone created a paper bag to hold the cards, and we all distributed our cards to all our classmates – being more careful about who got each card as we got a little older. They were just cardstock and ink – no glitter or sequins or plastic coating. Is that something that still happens? Later the little candy hearts were exchanged/eaten on the day, but they aren’t part of my first memories of Valentines Day. There was a heart shaped box of chocolates that my grandfather bought for my sisters and I one year; it only happened that once and it might have been a spur of the moment purchase on his part. That kind of chocolate was not something anyone in our family craved.
