...thirty-seven years sharing this special day with my sweetie...
...six of them while dating {{{high school sweethearts}}}
However, Valentine's Day isn't just for sweethearts. It's a day to remember all those special people in our lives.
Blessed are the we who have friends and family in our lives.
And for those who've had their hearts crushed because they've loved {and that would be most of us} love is always worth the risk. High risk, high reward. But I would rather look like my old Teddy Bear...with a few love-rubbed spots on my heart, than to have a heart that was never taken out of the box.
You too, I hope...
May your day be beautiful, however you plan to spend it...
Speaking of love stories, I noticed Karen at My Desert Cottage is hosting a Share Your Love Story event today! I always think the stories of how couples met are so fun to hear. As for my beloved and me, we met at the ripe old age of 16 at a bowling alley.
He loves to quote the line from the 1981 Dudley Moore movie "Arthur"...
"Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature."
YYYYYYYYYYY

I, too, have some love rubbed spots for which I am always grateful. I was fifteen when I first met my husband, and he was eighteen.
You are a treasured Valentine to all who know and love you.♥

Hi Sue, thanks for dropping by for a visit and entering my giveaway, also for checking out my Needle felting page, it means a lot to hear it was helpful. Do you know Linda Vincent (blueeyedgirl.blogspot.com ? She just got that machine and has posted what she made with it. I have had one on my wish list for a couple of years now, but computers keep breaking down around here.
Your digital work is so soft and pretty on your photos, and I just love your old bear, hope you had a love filled Valentines Day :)
