Valentine's Day

It's just 14 days into the new year, and Valentine's Day is sneaking up on us! Every year it comes around, I think about my favorite childhood memory about my Dad. He always gave me a shiny red heart-shaped box full of candy and either a stuffed animal or some kind of toy to go along with it. I always loved his gifts, but I also loved the manner in which he gave them to me....always with a huge happy smile on his face and lots of hugs. It's a fond memory of my Dad that I'll hold in my heart for as long as I live. :)

I've been creating some Valentine themed pieces, and this lovely bracelet is one of them. It's titled "Unchain My Heart." It's part of my "Valentine's Day Collection." I'll be adding more pieces to my collection throughout this next week.

So...how about you? Do you have a favorite memory about Valentine's Day or do you dread the holiday? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Happy Friday! :-D
