This past Valentine's Day, love was spread!
Don't miss a great giveaway for 5 readers below!
We had the best time this week in New York, spreading a little love at our Valentine-making party in collaboration with the U.S. Postal Service. In keeping with the theme, turns out either sleet nor snow nor Snowpocalypse Nemo could keep all these intrepid families from coming out on a wintry Saturday, eating some treats, getting creative with glitter glue and sparkles, and addressing all their gorgeous creations so we could send them out to their loved ones with the Sealed with Love stamp.
Enjoy some of our favorite pictures from the event. Plus, get some fun ideas for your own next party! Like creative craft tables (thanks to Martha Stewart Crafts for the awesome supplies!), a fun DIY photobooth, chalkboards with ideas for your card list, mini mailboxes spelling out your own holiday wish , cand of course, heart-shaped Rice Krispy bars. Yum.
Plus, we've got a few goodies for five of our readers below. Because hey, we like spreading the love too.
Congratulations to our five Valentine's Day contest winners! Amy H, Shelley J, Elliot L, Sharon B and Charissa C each won a $50 gift card to Paper Culture.

Here's Something Cool
What could be more fun than an awesome, creative way to do some crafts activities with my little guy in honor of Valentine's Day than at this US Postal Service #SealedwithLove event? ....The phone calls from our loved ones across the country that were fortunate to receive one of our handmade cards - priceless :)
I wasn't lucky enough to attend this event since I live in the midwest, but I love those LOVE stamps - so much that I decided I needed to send Valentine's Day cards this year and even pre-ordered my stamps on usps.com. Then I took my 8 month old son, did a little photoshoot, ordered cards from Shutterfly and used my awesome Love stamps to send adorable Valentines to friends and family.
