My latest images have been Valentine's Day themed. It's not my favorite holiday as an adult, but I do love the cute decorations! Making this clip art is reminding me how much fun the day can be for my creative side. I liked it much more as a kid, when teachers gave us supplies for creating little mail boxes or pockets for valentines. Mine usually ended up covered in paper doilies. I also loved picking out valentines and figuring out which ones to give to whom. It was important to be careful that no card could possibly make the recipient think you "liked" them!
Candy is one thing I still enjoy about the holiday. I hate cheap, gross American-made chocolate, like the kind that takes over at Easter. For some reason, though, I absolutely love those $1 heart boxes with four really cheap chocolates inside. I buy several of them every year! Conversation hearts, on the other hand, are absolutely disgusting. If I wanted to eat chalk, I would go for a regular stick that wasn't pretending to be candy! ;)
