this years valentine


My daughter totally outdid herself this year. Every year she does something creative on a pretty big scale for valentines day, I photograph or scan it and print cards for her classmates for valentines day. I was driving home from work in the pouring rain thinking how is she going to do it this year, and after a little brainstorming with her we decided on an altered photograph. We did two (she insisted that the boys get a different one than the girls...) her dad cant stop laughing and she is very proud!

Ok, so Im a week into this new direction and Ive worked up one collection of love/valentines. I have a coffee design and a tea design that need supporting pieces and ideas for more. Im working off of single word sentiments and building around the word...thanks, calm, dream, friend, love, family, joy, peace, anything that comes into my head and Im looking for more single words to work from... maybe some silly ones like boo, yikes, chill... I wonder if there is a place I can go to find more words, besides the dictionary.
