I was going to blog the handmade Valentine's Day Card that I scanned and uploaded into Flickr - to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day. And to remind you that there is still time to make a donation to A Day for Hearts Congential Hearts Defects Awareness Day or another charity of your choice. Or send some geek love from NTEN.
