Feel like making your own Valentine’s Day cards this year? This one is easy peasy and super cute!

I used foil-wrapped chocolate candy lips I found at the dollar store, but you can also use lollipop lips.
Great conversations bring people closer together.
We might learn what makes someone happy, places they want to visit, funny stories from their past, or what makes them tick. When we get to know someone better, our relationship deepens.
Many great conversations begin with great questions. TableTopics make it easy to start fun and memorable conversations with family and friends.
TableTopics is one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things” and is the #1 best-selling conversations starters.
With the holidays coming up, we suggest bringing TableTopics to your next family gathering or dinner party.
It’s the perfect host or hostess gift and it’s calorie-free!
Looking for a thoughtful twist to sending a Valentine’s Day card? Have it postmarked from a town with a name associated with Valentine’s Day.
Like Valentine, Texas, Romance, Arkansas or Loveland, Colorado.
I called the postmaster in Valentine, Texas, and he explained the process.

Seniors living in retirement communities don’t often relish needing to depend on others so it’s nice to think of ways to keep some things status quo to give them the sense of still being independent.
One of the things I discovered my mother-in-law wanted were greeting cards for birthdays and anniversaries or get-well cards for her new friends.
Grammy loved giving beautiful cards as she felt they were a gift in itself. I began collecting fancy, unusual, and 3D cards to give her every few months.
She soon had her own personal stash of greeting cards for all occasions!
