Celebrate Green: Handmade Valentines
Handmade valentines are truly gifts from the heart. A family fun project is making paper embedded with flower or veggie seeds. You’ll end up with Valentines that keep on giving. In addition to junk mail or other bits of paper, you’ll need some window screen, water and a blender. And if you’ve been looking for a way to recycle that dryer lint, you’ve found it! Learn how to make paper yourself or if you’re not into papermaking, seed-embedded cards can be purchased at GreenfieldPaper.com.

Now that’s a really cool activity! Actually making your own paper and then constructing custom Valentines from it?… talk about the “it’s the thought that counts”. Clearly a lot of time and thought would go into a Valentine’s Day gift like this. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t appreciate this gift greatly.
