Alright, I'll go first...I hope it wasn't expected/required to be 'lovey dovey'.



Be gentle with me, please, I'm aware of my lack of talent!

Official Entry # 2 (on behalf of my friend Blend)
She made this one, graciously allowed me to use it and I love her!

a reply to: TNMockingbird

I like it......I'm not overly fond of the kind of valentines like we sent back in the day in grade school....all sweet and innocent.
Like those little candy hearts.....

Ok.. Entry #2

TNMockingbird did my first one already I think...Thanks Lady!

Soooo pretty and fragile.

I hope the entry is okay with you...DTOM can change it, I'm sure if we need to.

TNMockingbird

Of course it's ok! Very nice of you to think about it honestly...so, thank you for that!

I think for it to count for blend, she'll have to repost it as her own....and then I can remove it from your post.
For voting, it won't work well under your username.

That is soooo adorable! Love it!

I know, right? I can't resist the sweet little puppy love eyes on those otters...

i also fall for those otter babies. i agree with AccessDenied, sweet loving eyes are irresistable.

i know it depends, what kind of sweet love we are talking about. as DontTreadOnMe pointed out, he does not like it, not the old time's candy hearts anyway. i have never seen these before, i had to look them up, so they are quite exotic to me.

so it is exactly those candy hearts that inspired me to bring a bit of sweet love to this contest
