FREEBIE...Happy Sweetest Day~!



Happy Sweetest Day to all the sweet people that visit my blog.....and the even sweeter ones that leave me comments. = )
Never heard of Sweetest Day~!???
Herbert Birch Kingston, a Cleveland, Ohio philanthropist and candy company employee started Sweetest Day. He wanted to bring happiness to orphans, shut-ins and under-privileged. His intent was to show these people that they were not forgotten. In 1922, he started this holiday by giving candy and small gifts. He often used movie stars to distribute the gifts.

Retired to the STORE
Enjoy~!

  16. Too bad Sweetest Day became more associated with lovers than with caring about those who are usually forgotten or have less. Thanks for the great word art, Paulette!
