Sasha Wishes Everyone a Big Happy Valentine’s Day. A word of caution regarding Dinosaurs and Valentine’s Day. If a Dinosaur gives You a Card that says “Be Mine” make sure it’s not from a carnivore. It could mean for their next meal! We made some Valentine’s Day Cards with a Dinosaur Flare, of course. I…

Angie & Finger Painting

New Stripes for Angie
