Valentine's Day is one of those little holidays that sneaks up on you. And although it is a "Hallmark Holiday", I still like how it gives you a reason to do something special for the ones you love. I usually fill a small mailbox with tiny treats for my kids and get my husband his favorite chocolates. It is also a great time to put pen to paper, or in this case needle to fabric, and give your love a special note to tell him how he makes you feel.

Create your own Valentine's handkerchief by embroidering a message from the heart even if it is a simple "I love you" or "I love our life together". Embroidering a handkerchief with this little sentiment makes it more permanent and the handkerchief may even become a little lucky charm for your special someone as they think of you each time they tuck it in their pocket.
