Poetry In A Pot Of Tea

We don't go overboard on Valentine's Day...we are big believers in doing little things regularly to show our love, not just when the calendar compels us. But we still like to do something fun and festive~ My daughter and I make Valentine cards and small 'happies' to give to friends.

I was using some of my stamps to create tags and cards, and was frustrated over having to dig through my collection to find the Valentine themed stamps. I suddenly remembered that I had picked up a clear container to hold road maps, but never ended up using it since I prefer a book-style Thomas Bros. Guide when driving. It dawned on me that the stamps would fit perfectly inside it.

I put my Inkadinkadoo, Verve, Hampton Art, Hero Arts, Stampendous, Crafty Secrets, TPC Studio, Pink Persimmon and EK Success stamps in it. The container came with dividers, so I organized the stamps according to theme! And since it is clear and has an opening on each end, it is easy to take and replace stamp sets from it. It also has a handle for easy transport. The majority of my stamps are in packages that fit nicely in this box~

I thought I would share a couple of cute discoveries I made while blog hopping~

How about making sweet 'Be Mine' teabag covers for your favorite tea drinker? There is a free printable and directions at Creature Comforts

These charming tickets from Miss Cutie Pie would look great tied to a gift, added to a scrapbook page or used on a card.
