When you mail valentines across country you have to start a bit early if you want them to arrive in time. We did just that. We each made our own unique valentine to send to Nate. I even painted an ocean rock which I thought he might appreciate. I've been having fun painting hearts on some flat rocks I found at the beach. I also made this string of hearts to hang in our window. They were inspired by Maya*made and her heart garlands that she makes in various forms. I used a potato stamp and acrylic paint and stamped them on newspaper. Then I hung them on a satin ribbon. As I was hanging them at about midnight I deemed them Dude Girl hearts. Tough, made out of newspaper, yet adorned with pretty paint and hung on a satin ribbon.
