my valentine

i signed up for the generation q stitchy valentine swap, and it was fun to do!  it's been awhile since i did a swap where i had to make something!  my partner christine sent me a package last week but told me i couldn't open it until today.  i debated leaving it on the counter where one of the kids would surely "accidentally" open it!  but i tucked it away in my gift closet and didn't remember it until we were walking in the door from school parties!

it was a calgon moment for sure.  (also, if you don't know what a calgon moment is, then i am old.)  the kids were busy inhaling all their valentine candy, and i took a moment for myself, and opened it to find this cheery tote bag! 

it's awesome and already holding my library books.  sorry for the dark pics, but it's a fun print and a good size. 

see?!  the little pocket is perfect for my library card.  thanks a bunch valentine!  i love it!
