Happy Hearts Day

I thought I’d share this picture with you. Obviously there is a butcher with way too much time on their hands.

In this same store I have always been amused by this sign:

Having come from the busy west coast where someone would literally ad verbally tell you that you needed to change lines if you had even close to the limit, their sense of humor was a welcome relief.

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Collage Art I had to share for Valentines Day

I originally found Catherine at Art from the Heart & sewing on paper during OWOH One World, One Heart), but immediately fell in love with her work. I purchased this piece from her ETSY shop and it’s already here and even better in person! Many of you know, but most don’t that I have a penchant for weddings and sentimental images of weddings. Hubby and I are finally having our “Happily Ever After Fairy Tale Ending”, but it was a long time coming after surfing some very rough seas and we take it very seriously. So, this piece that Catherine crafted is very special to us and it was just in time for Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Sweet Goodness Hanging Heart Swap

I just opened this great swap from my swap partner Heidi for the Sweet Goodness Hanging Heart Valentines Swap hosted by the Sweet Goodness Girls over at Sweet Goodness Swaps. I especially love the felted ornament Heidi, thank you so much. This swap showed me how small the world can be when Heidi and I realized we co-existed in my home town while she worked for the newspaper I grew up on for several years. We probably passed each other on the street or in the mall and never even realized until the blog world brought us closer together. Ironically we both live 250 miles fro there now and only 5 hours apart.

Sweet Goodness Valentines Swap

So I’ve been pondering a myriad of ideas for making my Valentines swap for the Sweet Goodness Valentines Swap. Then I visited the Pink Kitchen, OOPS now known as There’s no Place like Home and Leigh Ann gave me an idea on where to start with her use of buttons. I have 4 old mason jars full of miscellaneous buttons and that’s where I started searching for all the pink, red and white buttons I had. So here’s a peek at some of the components of my creation. Ironically my cousin Jenn needed some and while I was sorting through these and chatting with her, I was able to find the ones she wanted also.
