Painting Valentines

With Valentine's Day a little over two weeks away, it was time 

for me to paint If I Were A Toy store's door.

This year I decided to reference the Valentines of my youth.

How many of you remember those sweet perforated Valentines?

The cards came in packs, so you had plenty to share.

I liked that we gave them out to all of our friends!

Do they still make those or something like it?

I hope mine have some of that vintage appeal.

It was fun to do something a little different.

Whomever has captured your heart this year, there's still time to find that perfect surprise!

Like a fish ;)

To each his own.

Thanks for stopping by.
