Galentine's Day 2026 - SU Thru Jan 20

We know the drill, and we love celebrating our crafty friendships here on LC! It’s another year of sending Galentine’s Day goodness!!

What better way to celebrate our Gal Pals than GALENTINE’S DAY!
Let’s make a tradition of letting our amazing Gal Pals know how much we appreciate their love and support.

Galentine’s Day is February 13th and was started in Parks and Recreation by the character Leslie Knope. This holiday is to celebrate the beautiful friendships amongst ladies. You don’t have to be single, it’s not about that, it’s all about friendship!
This year, we are going to continue celebrating by exchanging Galentine’s Cards! Each card will include an EXTRA SMALL item. You can try something that fits in an envelope and send it along with the card.

LAST YEARS GALLERY for inspiration! :heart:

Sign up through Dec 30 - Jan 20.
Send out Jan 31.
