Love in a Mug

Afternoon everyone!

Are you all looking forward to Valentines Day tomorrow? or are you like me and just looking forward to the reduced chocolates on Wednesday? lol!  It seems that everyone has been bitten by the love bug and as I said on my last card post, I don't do Valentines day, but it seemed a shame not to take part in the challenges and so I thought about it and I realised that I could send my own kind of love to my friends who are up and down the country - better known as my urban family. You know, the kind of friends you can pick up a phone to after months of silence and carry on the conversation as if it were yesterday; the ones you call up to crash on their sofa when you're in town (or missed your train) and most importantly, they are the ones who give you unconditionally love and support when life throws you a curveball.

So, this year, on valentines day - whilst many of you will be sharing a kiss with a loved one or raising a glass of champagne whilst out for a romantic dinner - I'll be at home, raising a my mug of love - a good old cup of tea - and letting it wrap me in it's warm hug as I remember those I love and who love me in return. 

My un-lovie, but sent with lots of love, valentines card:

The rhyme inside reads 'A little cup of friendship, With a bag of tea, When you relax and drink this, Remember it brings love from me'.

The papers are from My Minds Eye - Blink of an Eye. The small roses and lace is from stash and the digi image of the teapot was a freebie from a fabulous little website called Birds Cards.

I would like to enter my alternative valentines card into the following:
Creative Inspirations - Lots of love
Simon Says - Love is in the air
CRAFT - Valentines Day
Fussy and Fancy - With all my heart
Crafty Catz - Valentines

That's it. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
