Tiny T. Rex and the Perfect Valentine: by Jonathan Stutzman
As you go to create the perfect Valentine's card, remember Tiny T. Rex and the Perfect Valentine. Sometimes our best efforts don't go as planned. But the effort itself is a gift to our beloved.
"I am sorry, Pointy. I have nothing
to give you for Valentine's Day.
It's okay, Tiny!
I have the perfect
Valentine already.
You."
Hugs and kisses to every little T. Rex crafting and creating for their Valentine.
