It was Saturday and I was feeling a bit down, knowing that Valentine’s Day was approaching and that I couldn’t just go down to my favorite Target Store to buy my “Sweetheart” a nice card or my little Valentines some chocolate treats and goodies. Besides, Megan’s class is scheduled to have a  Valentine’s Day party this week, so another pressure…how to make cards for her 17 classmates? It’s not like the local markets here in Tianjin will have pre-made Valentine’s Day cards for kids.

The Lord was so good to me. I opened Megan’s backpack to find that her teacher had already prepared Valentine’s Day cards that just needed to be colored and addressed. WoW! Then I came up with the idea of putting a little Chupa Chups lollipop on each one, by cutting small slits in the cards. Megan did the coloring and I did the cutting!

Here’s our creations…
