Hello Rajat! Nowadays Valentine cards have become big business and I find them 'artificial'. Nothing better than a handcrafted one and written in own handwriting. All the best my friend. // paul

She'd be a FOOL not to, Paul. How sweet is this write...How touching and romantic. I love it when you let your passionate side peep through. You don't do it nearly enough. Lucky woman who gets that card.

Paul Callus
Date: 2/4/2015 2:45:00 PM

Hi Eileen! I have never been attracted by the innumerable cards that go on sale at this time of the year! I have always preferred to make my own drawings and messages...feels more intimate. And when the intentions are sincere, a rose beats most things...even chocolates:) hugs // paul
