Valentine’s Day
*sigh*
If I really don’t like Christmas that much what to say about this day?
To be honest never thought much about it. If I was in a relationship on the 14th Feb we would usually ignore the day. It just annoyed me that anywhere I went there was loads of hearts and everything was pink (which is not one of my favourite colours 
).
This year it wouldn’t be different, at least for me. But I learnt the hard way that people in this country give a lot of importance to cards (they have several shops dedicated to just that!). I never gave a card in my life before coming here, I just don’t think about it. But after the first christmas in England, when, to my surprise, I received loads of cards and gave none 
, I decided to ask Russ if he was going to give me one.
He told me he didn’t give much importance to the day as well, we wouldn’t celebrate, but yes, he would give me a card.
(apparently a card is always necessary in any occasion, even if nothing else is done or given)
So I though, OK, I’ll buy one as well (I have recently started to give in and give cards as well-em roma se romano).
It would be fine if I usually gave cards and if I even remembered the damn day was today!!!
Last night I realised I forgot to buy the card! 
What to do??? Panic!!
Then Becca gave me an idea and I ended up making a card myself with just a few sheets of paper, some photos and a printer. And you know what? He loved it even more 
Here you can find my day to day (or maybe month to month) events. Hope you enjoy it!!!
I suppose the hand-made touch was more personal and it showed thought and effort – bought cards have the same effect, but I don’t know, there’s something different and special about handmade ones! :L
And it’s a lot cheaper as well
But with all the work I have with them, they better be exposed in a museum!!!
The card was lovely. Much better than anything that could have been bought!!
Here’s to many more together!
