Nothing is more fun in the middle of this gloomy winter than Valentine’s Day…it’s placed in the perfect season to really be appreciated or did it catch on as a big holiday because everyone needed some pink and bright red to bring us out of the winter doldrums…like which came first the chicken or the egg?…Well, whatever the case, it’s just what the doctor ordered for me… Fancy Nancy at My Crafty Little Page http://www.mycraftylittlepage.blogspot.com/ invited me to a valentine swap and this is her creation…
It’s full of ephemera from the very vintage BINGO card to the cute little German boy scrap. And the gold foil Cupid is the perfect touch… Isn’t that the sweetest little face?
Nancy was inspired by the Dolly Dingle Valentine Swap that Elizabeth at Creative Breathing was hosting. I wasn’t quick enough to accept Elizabeth’s invitation, but was very happy to join Nancy in her side swap. This treasure joins more pink on my Valentine Tree.
Lots of pink to be found here. And look at this cutie from Mary Ann McKeating.
Wouldn’t you just love to have your old boxes of grade school Valentines back? I’ll bet there were some pretty cute die cut treasures in those boxes. Well, enough reminiscing about the past…I’m off to check in with Beverly to see who is posting today. http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

All your vintage cards are so cute. Happy Valentine's Day and Pink Saturday.
Happy Pink Saturday!!! Did you know I was in Nancy's swap, too? I adore the amazing cards she made. I was a tardy swapper.....she didn't get hers from me until today. I didn't know what I was doing....but next time I'll get on it sooner!
Love your Valentine tree....and YES, I'd love to have some of my old cards...and I'd love to have the old Valentine boxes I made to sit on my desk. Such a sweet time!
Have a great weekend and wonderful Valentine's Day!

I was blessed to recieve a sweet little German boy too.
Oh I love LOVE! Particularly when it is pink.
Happy hearts day to you and yours.
Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Valentine's Day, LaVerne.
I love your card from Nancy. In fact, I love both cards. And, now you have me thinking I might need a Valentine tree.
I would love to have my old valentines, and like Dana, I wish I had my boxes, too.♥♥♥
Love all those cards. My favorite are those from the 50s and 60s. Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi LaVerne,
Thank you so much for visiting me but more so thank you for the important work that you do.
I primarily write a decorating blog but on occasion I do give little glimpses into my life as an encouragement to others. I believe that Nancy put a link on her blog yesterday for one such story. It too might help in your work.
Be blessed and happy hearts day!
