Throwback Thursday- Contruction Paper & Crayons

By
Real Estate Technology with Rentec Direct

Remember the Cut-out Valentines Cards we made with construction paper?

Now you go into a store and there is aisles of Valentines decor, candies, cookies, flowers and more..... How much should we pay to show someone how much we love them?  Is a $10 box of chocolates not enough?  Or how about those cute little boxes of hearts?

When did spending money for Valentines gift become more important than my little construction paper heart with my unsteady hands writing in crayon?

Some of these holidays may be fun but are they  really about the person you love or just a marketing tool for retailers?  If it is truly about the person we love then there should be a Valentine aisle available everyday of the year.

So my love... don't be surprised if you get a card like this saying.... I love you

 

i love you heart

I had fun this year making home-made valentines out of construction paper!  I spent a night looking at origami patterns and fun ways to do paper art, and let me tell you, it was so much more rewarding than buying a pre-made sentiment and a bunch packaged sugar.

I love everything handmade. The thought that someone spend their time to do it, makes me appreciate the present. I still keep cards my kids made for me. Now they just buy fancy cards, but it is not the same.....
