Valentine's Day as a child was always a special time for me. I remember taking an old shoe box and getting some construction paper and cutting out hearts and gluing them to my box and cutting a little hole in the lid, just big enough for valentine cards to slip through. Sometimes, if we didn't have construction paper, we would use tinfoil to decorate the box and then glue pictures that we had colored on the box.
Then off to school I would go and display my valentine's box the entire week before school on my desk, just waiting for all my friends to place a valentine card in my mailbox. It was such fun not only getting the cards but giving them away too. I bet some of you remember doing the same thing! So that we don't forget those good old days, I have gathered a few valentineremembrances for you.

Now days some schools have banned exchainging cards because some people felt left out or were embarrased when they didn't have any go give out.
My oldest is sly about it. He is 17 and he fills his backpack with those little on dollar hearts. During the day when a girl asks him where her present is, he takes one out and gives it to her. They usually don't know what to say. He has been doing it for 3 years now.
Wow! That brings back some memories. We did the same thing growing up. i wonder why we seem to outgrow such things. I think it would be cool to get "friendly" valentines again!
That does bring back memories!!! My kids aren't allowed the "shoe box", but they do take Valentines to school.
Blessings,
