Valentine’s Day

When I was searching for Fortune Teller signs for my Halloween treats I came across a Fortune Teller Valentine’s card. Since the “fortune” is written backwards I thought I’d write my message backwards as well. I decided to use the same message that I used on Halloween: “I see you” and I wrote it, scanned it, and then flipped it in the computer. I figured that no one made valentine candy with eyes on it so I bought some hearts wrapped in red and silver foil. And then I remembered the washi tape with Alexander Girard eyes that I bought at the Milwaukee Art Museum. I attached a set of eyes to each of the hearts wrapped in silver foil and then I attached those to the back of the valentines with glue dots (those things are amazing!)

I kept the garland up in the kitchen and decorated it for Valentine’s Day. The new silver mercury glass heart I bought at a winter pop up shop on Navy Pier is hanging down on the right.

Whenever I see a commercial on TV for Lindor truffles I say, “Mmmm!” so guess what I got.

When I was valentine crafting with my youngest granddaughter I made a Valentine card too. I used lots of washi tape!
