Hi Secret Valentine participants! It is now the weekend, so this is your reminder that you have just 3 FULL DAYS (counting today) to finish your gift art and get it sent to me. Currently, 16 of the 30 participants have already finished! Just 14 of you to go, we are over halfway there! You’ve got time, but need to wrap up soon.
