interesting thought...

I came across this quote earlier today and thought it was appropriate for today! ;)

"A women is like a teabag: you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."
~ Nancy Regan

This adorable tea bag stamp is available on etsy in the shop of outoftheblues.

I found this while wandering and it was just too cool to not share. Check out the full article here.

It's also a good time to think about what else you can do to
live your life in a more earth friendly "green" manner.

Green Valentines Day

Each year at Valentines Day there are millions of cards bought, given and received. That’s a heck of a lot of virgin paper that eventually goes to the land fill. Instead, read the back of cards before purchasing -- look for cards that are FSC certified or that contain post consumer paper. By doing this, you are purchasing paper products that are recycled or harvested by entities that have a tree replanting program. This helps us all be a little easier on the earth.

Make your own cards with recycled paper and odds and ends from around the house. You know those extra packets of sugar from your last take out order? Those would be great tied onto a piece of red card stock with the words "you're sweet".

Don't Forget...

Today is the Art with a Cause Event. See the post from the 5th for all the details! Have a great time!
