THE CIRCLE JOURNAL LADIES AND SOME VALENTINE FUN
Yes, I am posting about valentines again for this Pink Saturday.
The Circle Journal ladies decided to make each other some valentines. Not all of them were able to join in but the following pics are all about the creative valentines we created, sent and received. We all said it was like being a kid again as we made our valentines to share.
In other words, we all had the most fun and will probably do something for Easter.
Our creative juices are flowing.
First I will share the ones I made. I only took a photo of the front of my cards but I can assure you they were full of valentine sentiments. We were in Atlanta to visit my sisters who were doing an antique show and I forgot my camera. I used Bill's Iphone to get one shot of the front only. Sigh!
The exception was Beverly's valentine. I made hers later than the rest and took a photo of the front and the inside.
THE PHOTOS...(mine)
Yep, the backs of the envelopes had a valentine touch too. If you noticed, Beverly's envelope had a bit of personal touch. After all we have been friends for almost 43 years. the initial B was added.
The front of my cards...
Now, Beverly's card as I explained, was not in this pic.
The inside of Beverly's valentine.
Now for the beautiful valentines received.
They are all so pretty. I am missing one that will be shared next PS.
The back of these lovely cards.( Two shown are the inside)
Grace's card arrived. It is beautiful! THANK YOU GRACE.
These talented ladies will be sharing these valentines too. Drop over and enjoy their photos too.

- Dana at The Stone Rabbit
- Grace at Pink In The City
I really wanted to share each valentine separate but that would make for a very long post.
This project is summed up in one word. "JOY" and a great big THANK YOU to each of the Circle Journal ladies for your precious valentines
Blessings and love,
JEANNE
Oh how beautiful ! Love them all and how sweet to have them to display.

Jeanne, this is such a sweet idea. A group of my girlfriends did this a few years ago. It was fun, and yes, we felt like kids again. Valentine's Day will always be a special holiday for me.

Looks like a fun thing to do, Jeanne! How are ya gal? Hope everything is going well up there! We have our two new grandies, and are constantly running back and forth between the two houses!! It's a lot of fun, but this Nana is running a little low on energy!!
Hugs to you sweetie!

Hi Jeanne! I loved your post and all of the cards are just beautiful! I love and thank you for my sweet card. It's wonderful. I haven't received Grace's card yet either but hopefully tomorrow. Wasn't this fun and I'm ready to start our Easter cards.
I'm posting my cards too.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Jeanne - you crazy crafter! I love all the Valentines you made and especially mine! Your envelopes were so adorable, too. I need to send you a big sack of supplies because I have more than I could ever use! I just love all the vintage elements you managed to find for your cards. Loved your post. xo Nancy

Oh, Jeanne! I'm so glad you're feeling better now! I know it must have been terrible to be sick with your family there! I'm sure those kiddoes had fun in the snow!! Love you and take care of yourself.
You are the sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Hello!! Happy belated Pink Saturday!
OMG..I thought I had visited you..til your "gentle" reminder that I hadn't!! I'm losing it! I think I must've inhaled too much Mod Podge while creating those cards..my brain cells aren't working right! ha ha!
I love how you shared the cards you created for all of us....you REALLY put in a lot of effort and time! They are all wonderful!
Yes, I'm loving mine, too! I've got all but Grace's. I hope it comes tomorrow. I put them in my breakfast nook and have really been enjoying seeing them !!
I was busy both Sat. and Sun. Had a meeting with my running friends on Sat. (so pumped to have a little group of like minded folks to prepare for our fall half marathon!!)....then we went to Mass and out to dinner. Sunday, I met other friends and we saw Silver Linings Playbook..then w went to Starbucks for 2 hours of drinking coffee and gabbing!! Today....I just stayed home and did stuff around the house, then decided to hit the grocery store cuz we're gonna have a couple of winter storms roll through here this week. It was pouring by the time I loaded my car......so I've been freezing all afternoon from that!!
So glad you're feeling better! My hubby and I had that cold thing right after Christmas ...he had it worse than I did..but mine still hung on for nearly 2 weeks. Thankfully, it wasn't in my chest.
I made chili for dinner tonight, too! Yummy turkey chili (blahhhhh). Going to a weight lifting class in a bit, so the chili is in the croc pot!
Have a great evening!! Thanks for setting me straight!!! :)
L, Dana

Happy Pink Saturday, my dear friend. I am so glad you are feeling better each day.
You are becoming quite the artist. Each one of your card creations is a personalized work of art. And, you know how much I love my most special card. You have been my Valentine for many years.

There are actually surely many details like that to take into consideration. Which is an excellent point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly one can find questions like the one you bring up exactly where essentially the most fundamental factor might be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if ideal practices have emerged about points like that, but I'm certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment's pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
