Happy Hearts Day!!

As we mentioned before, we both love this day! When we are together we usually celebrate it by going out to brunch, then afternoon tea (all those in-between meals we love), and exchange handmade presents. This year I'm in cold Amsterdam and my sister is in warm Colombia (with her sweetie).

I made this for her as a Valentine's present.
This was taken two years ago. She doesn't like this picture very much, but I like it because she looks like she is fighting her laughter. I used 3 apps to make the picture above really kitschy (just like Valentine's should be!)

Hopefully next year we'll be together for a Valentine's date!

Have a wonderful day!

Giova.
