Come ON!&#8221;  Not in the spirit, huh?  This year I was prepared.  My son set up a scene in my light box with his favorite stuffed animal and a background he drew.  He spelled out his name in candy hearts (I covered them with big fake ones for the blog, you get the idea) .  I gave him full artistic license and he took the photo himself.  We messed around with Picnik and he added the peace sign and double &#8220;gritty&#8221; to the original photo.   We sent it off to Snapfish and then presto we got &#8220;homemade&#8221; Valentine cards delivered to our door soon afterward.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">So it may be too late for you this year.  I&#8217;m talking to you tired mom with glitter glued to her finger tips!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">But tuck this idea away for next year.  It&#8217;s a winner!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Happy Valentine&#8217;s making to you and yours.</p>
