February 14th brings a hearty holiday, as folks
express affection and appreciation to those they love. Shoppers scoop up gifts
and greeting cards, sending flowers and fancy candies and bountiful baubles to
loved ones. Children swap lacy hearts and licensed character notes (from Sponge Bob Square Pants to Superman) in
classrooms from coast to coast.
Sure, a generous Valentine sender might pick a dozen red roses for his or her sweetie on February 14.
On the other hand, thriftier means of expression are available.
Check out these creative and clever Valentine’s Day crafts
and ideas from a fabulous array of web writers, friends, and colleagues.
