Why save that just for Valentine's Day itself? And too, it inspires us to create before the day and not be scrambling around for last minute Valentines. These are all just stunning, but I daresay, I especially like the blue #5.

Authentique papers are the best, what a shame they're so hard for me to find here (or maybe that's not a bad thing, as I'd probably buy too much otherwise). Like you, my husband and I have vacationed in Lahaina and to see this devastation is just heartbreaking.
