I love Secret Agent Josephine.
I have always been a fan of Secret Agent Josephine and her blog. She takes great pictures, often graces us with a video, draws lovely pictures, makes lumpy cats, she also designs and on top of all that she does floral design
In fact, she is so amazingly talented....Logan's looking almost lame now. The two of them would be an annoying multi talented couple and no one would want to be friends with them.
She started a cafe press shop with cute items meant to help augment her upcoming Paris trip with her sister in law and mother. Isn't it nice that she wants to go to Paris with her mother? Because when my mother and I go anywhere we drive each other crazy and can never make a decision and when we walk together we inevitably bump into each other while we aimlessly wander. Stupid American indeed.
I wanted to help her in her quest because I do love her things so much, but we have not a single penny of extra money since I am seemingly unemployable. So I emailed her and asked if she'd be able to put together some sort of valentines cards for Maddie to exchange at school since that's the only 'extra' thing I'll be purchasing in the next few months.
After going back and forth with ideas she came up with these! And I love them! And Maddie told me she can't wait to give the one with the puppy to Ryan who she loves now. Recall last year when it was Brian, not Ryan for Christ SAKES!? My how things change in the world of the first grader.
So go, and download the pdf and keep your karma nice and clean, make sure you click on the donate button and chip in some cash for the custom valentines which will save you from Shrek2 valentines this year.
Shrek 2 sucks.
Jo does not.
Maybe you can get a job suggesting awesome ideas to other people.

Haven't been here for a while...love the new look of your blog!

Thanks for this information. I'm planning on using these with my daughter (named Maddie) as some kind of Valentine's project for my wife. I can never think of these things on my own.
Now please, try to be more self-absorbed next time.

OT vent--my dd's kindergarten teacher just sent home a note stating that every kid should bring a valentine for every other kid in her class, but THEY SHOULDN'T LABEL THEM. Why? To save her time (no more time-consuming delivery).
I ask you--Isn't it the god-given right of every 'Merican 5 year-old to play favorites when giving valentines?

Dagnabbit, this post is several days too late. We have Shrek 2, Spiderman 2, and Spongebob valentines already. (Hmmm. What's with all the esses?)

Thankfully, the kids are too young for Valentine's card exchanges, but they are very cute!

Not to gush, but oh well -- let me gush.
Not only do I look forward to reading your posts, but the folks you link to are equally entertaining and inspiring. I am so wowed by Secret Agent Josephines site and artwork! Please keep writing so honestly and openly, you are expressing so much of what others are feeling and experiencing.
