Happy Wednesday, everyone! I wanted to share a Valentine project that I made for Sheila's wonderful blog :  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  a few weeks back!  This Love Notes Container is perfect for tucking little love notes in - for that special someone or everyone in your house! :-)  Here is the finished container.
