Valentine Snail Mail

 You may have seen this floating around on Instagram yesterday, but I've been thinking ahead to Valentine's Day already. To be honest, Valentine's day has always been one of my favourite holidays (surprisingly, as I've only ever had one real Valentine and he only came a few years ago!). I suppose I just love the fact that it's a day that gives me an excuse to give as many random love gifts or encouraging cards as I'd like and tell those close to me how much I love them. Because doing that sort of thing brings me so much joy.
 And so, I started designing a few one-of-a-kind valentines, trying to decide what to do with them. And then, of course, came up with a most brilliant idea...secret love notes! And candy grams! And snail mail! If this sounds as exciting to you as it does to me, you can now find a listing in my shop for hand-drawn illustrated cards to send anonymously (or not!) to lovers, friends, and family. Each one will be unique and created especially for the person you're sending it to. You can choose your quote or theme and if you'd like to attach a little candy to sweeten the deal, there's that option, too. A very special and personalized way to say I love you for $7 /card.

Happy Love Day!


I've always love Valentine's Day! It's such a wonderful celebration of love, no matter your status. I've never had a Valentine, but I've never had a Valentine's Day that wasn't special. Growing up, my parents always made it about family love, and doing special things for one another. And I think that's how it ought to be. Forget all of the stigma's that go along with it and simply show love to one another! Sure we shouldn't have to have a day set aside to do that, but sometimes you just need a reason to. So here's to love, all kinds of love, and Valentine's Day! 


"The Lord your God is with you, 
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

Valentine's Countdown: Flowers

Dear Sender,
I like flowers. I would like to receive some someday because they are so beautiful. I don't need anything fancy or flourishing, a simple wildflower bouquet will do. Thank you.
Love Jenni

Valentine's Countdown: Decor

I have a love for Valentine's Day. I always have and surprisingly have never had a "valentine". But that does not make a difference for me- it's a day to show the people I care about how much I love them by giving tokens of affection...and also receiving it from those same people! :) So to begin this Valentine's countdown, I'm focusing today on decor for the day.
Ok. So...I didn't really find too much for valentine's decor, but REALLY just wanted to share this fabulous fort that Design Sponge featured recently. Wow. This is a dream fort! It looks like sooo much fun!
