When we were little we spent
hours addressing cards to every kid in class. And
hours making our Valentines boxes to bring ours home in. (My favorite was my fifth grade box that was covered in aluminum foil and had three-dimensional hearts all over....it was amazing that anyone could figure out where to put the cards.) Then, when we got home from school we would make cookies and pack up Valentines cards with those nasty, chalky conversation hearts and head out into the neighborhood.
If we loved you (or our Mom told us we ought to include you) we put our treats on your doorstep, rang the doorbell, and ran like hell. This is how I thought everyone celebrated Valentines Day. I have since learned that this is not the case-but it hasn't stopped me (actually, quite far into adulthood) from doorbell ditching Valentines treats.
So. How do you doorbell ditch your loved ones scattered across the world? Dave and I made had so much fun making our Christmas cards this year in the studio we decided that we would make Valentines cards too. Happy Valentines day! Consider this our digital doorbell ditch to all of our friends and family.
Ok...last one. This is for my jaded friends who are not exactly thrilled about an entire day celebrating the artifice of love.
