Sweet, Loving Memories

I've been working our Valentine's Party all day.

Making our tradition cookies

(I only make these today.)

I did a scavenger hunt for my fella's Valentine.

I made 26 "clues" for him to find.

From A-Z, I wrote a quality I love about him

and then on the back of the note,

I wrote where to find the next note.

The table is set,

The mailbox is full!

Excitement is in the air for a fun, cozy night together

expressing our love for eachother.
