How-Tuesday: Valentine's Day Round Up
When I was in first grade, my teacher would bring in hand-crocheted ornaments for each holiday. (For all twenty-five plus kids in the class!) There were black cats for Halloween, ice skates — complete with paper clip blades! — for the winter holidays, and Lincoln hats for President's Day. That direct hand to heart connection still resonates, twenty-five plus years later. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, what better time to highlight fun hands-on ways to show you care? Here's a round up of some of the sweetest treats to make and share . . .
