Pretty Post for a Valentine

Yep, it's almost that time again... Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and the internet is bursting with creative DIYs and treats to consume! I may not be the biggest fan of the holiday of roses and chocolates and diamonds, but I love the cute cards and fun recipes that come out around this time of year and wanted to share my own picks for the day.

Note: Now that I've relocated to an area where the sun rarely shines, and there's no shortage of snow, I am almost completely convinced that this holiday was created in some tundra like town in order to add some color, and provide a little reminder that love is not lost, in order to make it through winter. Yes, this may be a bit dramatic but cabin fever is setting in. Send help.

I have a major weakness for handmade cards with quirky messages, bright colors, and cute packaging. Seriously. I have a collection. I'm like you're grandmother minus the Hallmark situation. So, if you're like me and want to spread a little love without emptying your bank account, simply pick up one of these ridiculously cute cards and make someone's day!

  2. Those cards are so cute! Buffalo has a Book Arts Center (WNYBAC) that sells adorable letterpressed cards and art. I love that they're handmade locally!

    1. Yes, I'm the same way. I stock up on cards for the year whenever I attend a craft fair. It's a problem.

  3. Eek! I adore handmade, quirky cards so this little round up was so fun! I get totally sucked into etsy at times just looking at all the paper pretties. :)

    1. Me too! I love Etsy so much so I'm on there WAY too often. I love supporting small business though.
