Valentine's Day, Felt Envelopes:DIY


 This year I really wanted to make some handmade Valentine's Day things for all my family and friends. The only thing I was worried about was not having enough time to do them. Well, I fell sick with the Flu on Saturday and I have had nothing but time.
These cute little Envelopes and Hearts I have been making have made my sickness bearable.  The Idea came from some felt envelopes I saw at Target and also on Pinterest. I can't think of anything more special than a handmade Valentines Gift. I was so Happy I could do that this year. Oh, and I am on Day 3 of the flu, I am hopeful  tomorrow I will be at least 75% better.

 Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.
I am Sending you all lots of Love!
