Day 1 of the Gothic Valentine Blog Hop w/LeighSBDesigns

 The 7th annual Gothic Valentine Blog Hop presented by LeighSBDesigns starts today!  Check out the details and linky party can be found HERE!

My thoughts always go to Edgar Allan Poe when I think of gothic romance because poor Poe had such a rocky path to love.  He also wrote such deep feelings into his poetry (yep, I caught the pun as I was typing it 😉) and well, just totally gothic I guess!  This line from his POEm (did it unintentionally to start with but couldn’t resist it when I realized it again!) Annabel Lee always gets me so of course I had to use it.  The gorgeous background image is by RedHeadsRule on Pixabay.  I added the text and the Poe digi stamp (Edgar Allan Poe Portrait and Signature) by our darling hostess Leigh at LeighSBDesigns!  Really simple but perfect a perfect addition to my Poe card box!
