Valentine Goodness...

We ended up delivering our cookies to our Secret Valentine neighbors last night...Jake and Reilly were thrilled to make the deliveries...






Jake--er...I mean...my "secret" Valentine left this little poem/card for me under my pillow last night. It cracked me up...He's on his way to becoming another Dr. Seuss!
(By the way, we don't have rats in our basement!)





I found these cute little vintage inspired candy bars at Marshall's a few weeks ago...My friend, Heather, had gotten these for me last year and I've been on the lookout for more ever since...

I thought they'd be cute for the girls I visit teach...(ironically, I visit teach Heather--hope she doesn't think I'm regifting last year's chocolate back to her!)



Here they are after being wrapped up...


Some good mail all packaged up and ready to send out...

I feel so...Jill Stuart! :)


**Do you make treats for your neighbors?




**Do you like the month of February?




**Has Jill's "good mail" inspired you to become a better corresponder?

    I have supplies to make treats for our neighbors. I'm not holding my breath that we'll actually get the treats to the neighbors. :)
    I do like February. I enjoy the pink and reds and all the lovey-dovey stuff.
    I used to be a fantastic corresponder. Now, I just think that you are really on the ball!
    All your goodies look so cute and wonderful!

    That poem from Jake is so cute!

    I think your secret Valentine deliveries are a great idea. I wish someone would deliver to us, though that's silly because I made cookies yesterday.

    How delightful to see all that good mail going out!

    haha, I love that poem by Jake. I can just hear him reading it. Funny kid. That's a good idea about the secret Valentines. It sure makes Valentines day better when you do service for others.
