Happy Love Day!!!  Today is Valentines Day as everyone knows.  I hope you are all happy and feeling loved this day.  As a single woman it is easy to feel down on couply days like Valentines (made up holiday or not it can still be like salt in the wound).  Well, last year I decided to do something to make the holiday fun.  I created a valentine using my own creativity and the skills of my friend Joan who is a graphic designer.

I had so much fun making my valentine last year that I decided to do one this year.  (I am woefully late in getting them mailed but at least I got them emailed and posted on facebook).  I enjoy being creative and coming up with expressions and a concept for a card.  Then I use Joan’s artistic skills to make my vision a reality.  Here’s what I came up with this year.

And yes, that is me in the swimsuit.  Isn’t it cute?  I love it.  It just goes to show with a little creativity and ingenuity you can turn something negative into a positive.  Now it is become a little tradition for me and it took me almost no time and very little money.  Why not!

I hope you all have a great Valentines and I will try my best to have one too! ( I got a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphys.  What’s not to like about that? Although is it slightly pathetic to eat a heart shaped pizza by yourself?  Sigh…)

Most importantly I hope you all feel loved.  Loved by your friends, by me, by most importantly God and Jesus.  They love us more than you will ever know.  God bless and Happy Valentines!
