This was my father’s favorite holiday, and I always think of him. He made a big deal of it—presents for everyone and celebrated before we left for school. So it’s no surpise that I love it too. Tracy and I decided not to exchange gifts, but as always, I got flowers and a beautiful card.
I got gifts for the kids and grandchildren and was glad to have a reason to package up the ones for Betsy and Skylar who came to visit yesterday.
I also made some dark chocolate almond clusters to take to someone who went above and beyond the call of duty last week. I delivered several of these today. (Quite yummy, I must say! We saved a few for ourselves as a treat after dinner tonight.)
And finally the last of the valentines. A couple of them were made for challenges that, once again, were done on time, but not posted in time. My favorite of the bunch was Matt’s.
Sarah and Adam got one of the valentines I made earlier for challenges as did Betsy and Tracy. Here’s Skylar’s.
And finally, one for my mother-in-law.
Hope you had a love-filled day!
It’s look like a lovely Valentine’s Day! I think Skylar’s card is my favorite – so cute!
Those almond clusters look scrumptious!
That’s really cool that your dad loved Valentine’s Day so much. My youngest brother is carrying on a similar tradition with his (nearly grown) children.
I love your Valentine post with all these pretty photos and beautiful cards. Looks like it was a great V-day!
You definitely do Valentines much much better over there than we do over here! What a LOVEly array
Paul is much better about Valentine’s Day than me – he got my favorite gourmet chocolate for me (and Clara) and sour candy for Henry.

I am always so touched by the things you make for people – and I am sure these were all welcomed and appreciated. Your friend is not the only one who goes above and beyond the call of duty :).
Hi Karen! Perfect post! Gorgeous flowers & photos, yummy choco, beautiful cards!
