It may be cold outside, but February is one of my favorite months of the year because we get to celebrate Valentine's Day! It's a day of love, happiness and warmth, even more so now that I have kids. My boys get so excited to send Valentine's cards and to receive them from friends and family. Do you have any special plans this Valentine's Day? We usually make dinner as a family and I always make little gift bags full of goodies for the boys. Last year I filled the bags with a few toys, candies and a card, so I think this will end up being a tradition for us. This year is extra special because Josiah is in 1st grade and his class is exchanging cards. As for my husband and I, we always exchange cards each year and it gets harder and harder to find one that really reflects my sentiments. When I found out about Cardstore's Valentine's Day card selection, I couldn't wait to check them out and pick one out for him. We ordered cards from Cardstore during the holidays and they were beautiful, so I knew they would have some great ones for this occasion as well.

Of course, when choosing a card for my husband, I want it to reflect my love for him and fit our personalities. I think about everything we've done together over the years - the places we've been, our journey as a couple and now as a family, and what we will experience together as a family in the future. When picking cards at a store, the perfect card is especially hard to find because they cannot be personalized or changed in any way, but when making cards via Cardstore, you can always find the perfect card because they are customized to your own liking! I found a card that really stood out to me and was so surprised that I could not only add the photos I liked, but I could change around the wording to make it special and one-of-a-kind. In addition to changing the text, I could change colors, fonts, edit photos and even include a signature. In the end, I think I created the best card yet for my husband and he will be so surprised to receive it.

The outside of the card I made!

I included a photo from our wedding back in December 2006 and one that was just taken in December 2013. After all of these years, our love still continues to grow and that's exactly what I wished to convey in my card. Maybe, just maybe, I will get him to shed a tear or two. After all, the ultimate goal of a card is to really make someone feel special and loved. I know this card will do just that! Plus, it's Valentine's Day and Cardstore knows better than anyone that it's okay to cry on this day of the year. I am so sentimental that I cry just about every time my husband and kids give me anything. I guess that's just part of being a parent. It all goes by so quickly and I just want to savor every single moment with them!

I also made a great card for my boys. Liam loves Care Bears, so imagine my delight when I found a Care Bears Valentine's Day card for kids from Cardstore! I immediately went in to edit the card and personalize it for Liam and Josiah. On the inside, I could include a photo, so I put in a new picture I just took last week of them playing in the snow since they were having such a wonderful time together. I honestly cannot wait to see their excitement when they receive their valentine in the mail! They have no idea it is coming, so they will be completely surprised.

As I briefly mentioned above, there is another thing that makes Cardstore stand out from others and that is because Cardstore can ship the card directly to your recipient. That's right! You don't have to wait for the card to be printed and mailed to you before shipping it out once again. Cardstore saves you that huge step and lots of time by sending the card for you. You have no idea how many times I've had great intentions to send a card to someone and it ends up sitting on my table until it's too late. I'm quite the procrastinator, so having this option is just what I need. You can choose to send it immediately or pick a date in the future and the card will magically be delivered!

We hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day! Don't forget to take a look at the Cardstore selection! Tomorrow, February 6th, is the LAST day you can order to guarantee delivery by Valentine's Day. The prices are comparable to those at other stores, but they can be personalized, which just makes them even more special!
