Valentine Challenge

Are you read for the Week #3 Challenge!?
I told you that this one would have some Valentine's flare to it.
This week, the challenge is to make HOME MADE Valentine's cards
for the people you love, that you usually wouldn't give Valentines to.
You can give them to whomever you wish...
Except for one mandatory person.
YOU MUST LEAVE A VALENTINE OUT FOR THE MAILMAN THIS WEEK.
Those trusty, hardworkers who get us our mail (in heat or snow)
and help our businesses run smoothly, need our lovin'!
So put on your crafty thinking cap.
And if you don't think your crafty, cut out hearts and write Happy Valentine's Day on them :)
Or use my examples above...
Don't forget to email me your cute Valentines to

Oh, and we have a special guest blogger this week.. And it's gooood.

hey ash! ( i am calling you ash because we are friends in blog land and that is what blogger friends do..you can call me meg if you want...)

anyway..

i really love your shine project and you remind me so much of my friend caitlin...I really think you two should connect in someway via twitter or fb or e mail...(her twitter is caitlincrosby) she has a company called the givingkeys..which reminds me of your necklaces..I dunno what could spawn between you two, but I feel like you all would get along and have similar hearts.

Haylee said...

Oh my gosh, I LOVE THIS IDEA. Seriously you don't know how perfect this is for me. Because A) I have one Valentines card left over and have been debating on who to give it to, and B) My mailman's son just died of cancer. So incredible sad but it makes this such a perfect way for me to show my support for him.Thank you so much Ashley!
By the way, your Valentines are so incredibly cute! I love the XOXO one in the top right picture.
