Cool Mom Picks readers have a heart

Valentine's Day has come and gone and now, a week later, we just want to say thank you thank you thank you for your absolutely overwhelming support for our artist-created color-your-own Valentine's Day cards we put together with Etsy.

The numbers are in and more than 400 of you helped us raise more than $1700 for The Children's Heart Foundation. All $3.99 at a time. We couldn't be more pleased!

If you loved the work of the twelve generous artists who contributed their talent to the cause (and really...who wouldn't?) feel free to visit their shops and support them the rest of the year too.
