Happy Valentine's Day - tomorrow!
💌 What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Idaho than with a little potato love? 🥔 I created some free potato-themed Valentine downloads as a fun nod to our beloved Gem State and, of course, its most famous crop. These FREE printables are full of Idaho charm and plenty of punny goodness—because nothing says “I dig you” quite like a potato.
