Homemade Valentines

Do you remember as a kid opening all the little valentine envelopes you received from your classmates and making a pile of candy while at the same time looking for any small sign of love from the opposite gender--important and obvious things like the word "love" before signing their name or a heart drawn next to your name or else just really good handwriting? (If a boy did not like you he'd just hastily scribble his name somewhere on the card and it was barely legible.)
Anyway--have you noticed how valentines do not come in those little envelopes anymore? How do you express your love secretly? More importantly, how do you include candy with them? These things must be considered.
Well, I do not have any ideas for the little envelopes, but I saw these really cute homemade valentine mice and maybe we'll make them this year. And who needs secret love messages anyway? (Ah-ha! I tricked you--the secret love message can be written inside the mouse, under the sucker!)

Why won't my darn spell check work?
