a valentine perk

Though I don't have a Valentine this year, I thought I would share with you a thoughtful little gift idea I've done in the past. Usually my wallet is still recovering from all the Christmas spending, so I try to keep my Valentine's gift expense low, but still want to let the person know I took some time to be original.  This will work perfectly if your mate is a coffee lover, one of those who is devoted to their morning cup of joe!

All I did was paint PERK with watercolor paints (borrowed from my child's art box) and the rest of the message in markers and attach with ribbon to their favorite brand of coffee. You could even use the message along with a gift card from Starbucks or a box of Keurig coffee K-cups, whichever your coffee enthusiast loves. It makes the perfect little gift for Valentine's morning!

(And in case anyone is wondering, my first day went well. Thanks for all the well wishes! I even found a bit of time to post today - yay me!)
