DIY Valentine's Day Gifts

Personally, my dear blog readers, I believe a handmade gift is one made with a little bit more love.  You could also buy something with a little more love (for a little more $$$), but I cannot.  I am monetarily challenged and I have been since, oh let's say Thanksgiving.  Nevertheless, I am going to make my Valentine's Day gifts for my parents and some close friends.  I guess I am just in the mood for love...
