Every year I make a homemade valentine and remail it from Loveland, Colorado. I have been doing this for a very long time. My hometown is Loveland. This year they are celebrating the 80th year of Valentine Remailing Program. I was lucky enough to drop off my valentine's there in Loveland.
I usually just mail them in a giant envelope to the Loveland Postmaster. There the volunteers stamp the outside with a special cachet, and the post office cancels with the Loveland postmark.
Usually, I have a new idea for next year's valentine after I have mailed this year's valentine. I usually go through a few drafts before I settle on an idea.
1st draft
2nd draft - mainly work with the Cricut
I got a Crayola marker air brush for Christmas. I was influenced by Kristan at Friendsartlab.
It is such a blast to play with so below is my design for 2026.
