Here are a few Valentines I made recently, using stuff I have on hand. Old (not vintage) book pages, bits of scrapbooking and tissue paper, little lace flowers, ribbons and wire. Easy and fun.
I'm preparing for another exam next week, and it's a doozy. Intro to Canadian Literature and I have over 100 hundred poems of which small excerpts could show up requiring identification. Plus 7 novels from which essays will be required. It's a little bit overwhelming. When I contacted the professor to ask if I'd really gotten the exam requirements straight, she said, "I know it's a little daunting but do the best you can, and I can tell you to concentrate on the major poets." Right.
In addition my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and niece are coming from Alberta for the weekend. We're looking forward to lots of fun. I'll be studying on the run!
Lorrie, these Valentines are precious! So unassuming and spontaneous- like a love token should be! Makes me want to go make some like yours! I have no lack of handy scraps. :)
ReplyDeleteYou will do fine on your exam. I just know it! (deep down in my heart).
Lorrie, I have given you an award. Come pick it up and pass it on!

Hi Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your "Beautiful Blog" award! I found you though Nathalie and I just had a chance to snoop around your blog a bit. So that is where all of my robins have gone! They are in B.C.!
I just love these dainty Valentine's you have created and I especially love the sewn Valentine on your previous post.
Good luck on your exam. I'm sure you will do just fine.
So nice to meet you!

ReplyDeletegood luck with your exam. I took Canadian Lit in collage and loved it, but it wasn't poetry...more like Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood stuff!
