For My Valentine...

I had an aha moment when I spotted this tin mailbox in a craft store. I'd been looking for something simple, easy and special to make for my Valentine's. Candy is out (diabeties) and I didn't think my nephews would appreciate jewelry so I needed something different. 

After I picked up the tin, I bought two packages of foam stickers to decorate the mailbox. I know I could have gone all out and used ribbons, stickers, rub-ons, flowers, paper and the whole nine yards but I wanted simple. Next was making and printing journal cards. 

Between now and Valentine's day I will be writing messages on the journal cards. The special things my Valentine's do throughout the month that I want to thank them for, notes of appreciation and lots of love will be written on those cards which will be waiting inside the mailbox for my Valentine's to open on love day.
