Enveloping the Word: Valentine's Cards

 "Not every art of art creates something special, but it does create something. It is the act of art that is important not the result." Michael L. Goodman

Three days before Valentine's Day, about ten o'clock in the morning, my wife handed me some red envelopes addressed to the kids and grandkids and asked me to decorate them. She wanted them at the post office before the first pickup of the afternoon (if at all possible). I grabbed some "odds and ends" stickers from the desk and a paint pen and got to work. When I finished, I rushed to the post office and delivered the cards to my favorite postmistress, Cherrie, who weighed and measured them to be sure I had the correct postage. My wife likes to stuff many notes and trinkets in letters to the grandkids. Miraculously, all the letters arrived at their destinations on Valentine's Day.

Here are some I managed to scan before I dashed out the door:
