Well these Valentine's to me look just like the ones that we had when we were younger back in the GOOD OLD DAYS, and it makes me think of our Friend who had decorated a Shoe Box for me for when I was in Grade School and well of course you guessed it My School Box was the nicest one there at School, and I was so VERY PROUD to have had mine be the NICEST LOOKING Shoe Box in the Homeroom Class, and I really enjoyed all of the very nice comments that everyone had gave me and I also LOVE how these Valentine's remind me of some of the Valentine's that I had when I was younger and I also LOVE IT'S VINTAGE LOOK that they have too!!

My mom has the skunk's card because was a gift from an aunt when I was born 34 years ago =O
Lorina Padgett January 30, 2015 - 4:59 am
When I was a kid we could not imagine going to school without your pack of valentines because everyone in the class had to get one so you would be singled out if you did not pass them out. Mom really liked my hand made valentines best.( At least that is what she told me)
Kristine Phelps January 30, 2015 - 5:01 am
Those valentines sure where a nice flashback to my childhood. And love the heart ring.

Grace S. January 30, 2015 - 4:57 pm
Loved the old valentine's but remember how terribly sad it was when some kids got none. I made sure to always send to everyone and remember the smile on one guys face when it was his only valentine (grade 3) decades ago.
Mary T January 30, 2015 - 5:52 pm
What fun! I think any generation would get a kick out of these very creative cards.

Cairine January 30, 2015 - 8:53 pm
I remember old valentines like these, my sisters childrens' teachers gave them a list of all the kids in the class so everyone would get a valentine from them. I think that's a great idea!
Norma Farrell January 30, 2015 - 10:11 pm
almost 74, so I sure remember them. also the little heart candies with things written on them, like "be mine", "sweet", etc.

Sarah Oswald February 1, 2015 - 1:39 am
There are a few that I remember and I laugh at how corny they were and I am sure my kids wont even get a few of them like the darning one with the sock. Thanks for sharing and bringing back fond memories.
willis flanagan February 2, 2015 - 2:25 am
I think I saved a few of those old valentines. So neat to remember grade school. I am all grown up now and Super Jewelers is my favorite valentine.
Angela L. February 2, 2015 - 6:35 am
These are the best...like the one Lisa Simpson got with the train on it, "I choo choo choose you!" Puns make the best Valentines!
Linda H February 2, 2015 - 1:38 pm
These sure remind me of handing out cards to everyone in the class. Some of them look very familiar.
Jean Lafever February 2, 2015 - 2:45 pm
