Valentine's week

I have had a prolonged Valentine's week this year which is unusual for me!  As mentioned, I participated in Prana Light's Valentine swap.  As I hadn't been blogging, it didn't occur to me to take photos of the Valentine that I sent to my swap partner, Marie, or to Tracy!  But I took photos of what I received!

I was very surprised to discover that Tracy sent a Valentine to me!  K & N love when I get mail ~ the "what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine" expression come to mind!  Tracy's Valentine arrived shortly before Valentine's Day and the girls were quite anxious to get the Norwegian stamps that arrived as well.  (I claimed the entire envelop as mine and plan to use it in a Blogging layout for my "Twelve" scrapbooking class ~ see the sidebar for particulars on Twelve! ~ although I allowed them to take the envelop to show the stamps to their classmates!)  Isn't Tracy's hand-painted ATC gorgeous?

My swap partner, Marie, lives in England.  Her parcel arrived shortly after Valentine's Day which extended the joy throughout Valentine's week!!  She sent some lovely vintage Valentine's that she redid with sparkles (which I will somehow incorporate into a Valentine's layout as well as the postage stamp for "Twelve") as well as a pretty Mary Engelbreit book and the always appreciated chocolates (which, of course, I had to share!).

 Thank you, Tracy and Marie, for Valentine's week and for your contributions to my "Twelve" class!
