Hey all, I was just curious if anyone had plans on making anything for Valentine's Day - something special for a significant others or just to sell.
I was thinking back to when I made a little heart for my sister's wedding when I was an ultra-noob a few months ago...:heart::heart:

Thought I may be able to build off of the idea now and sell it to the local shop (Even if it were just hearts attached to the basic chillums I make). This occurred to me because I remembered my sea turtle pendants sold the best at the shop during the Christmas season as presents for girlfriends.
Still brainstorming on what to make, but I figure I've got nothing better to do so I'll focus on that for the next week or so.
Just to spark this thread a little bit, here's some links for y'all to check out.
Searched around a bit for some inspiration...
