Hearts of love

 A woman knows the face of the man she loves
 as a sailor knows the open sea.

-Honore de Balzac

I have found the one whom my soul loves. 

Song of Solomon 3: 4

That special day of love is coming and it will be here before we know it.
You know the one I am talking about.

Valentines Day

A  special day set aside to shower love on the ones that are special to us and
the ones that we are so thankful for. 

Just a few vignettes around my home today to share with you the
love that I feel in my heart.

Are you decorating for that special day yet? I have incorporated touches of
  red and white
 in my decor this year which is shocking for me, but I love it.

Trying to get out of this blah mood that old man winter just keeps stuffing
down our throat. So sick and tired of snow...I mean SICK and TIRED!
We have another storm or two headed our way this weekend and next
week...when will it ever end?? I know it will, but right now it just doesn't
 seem like it.  I did tell hubby the other day that before we know it we will
be complaining about how hot it is.

Add to that a nationwide shortage of propane and that is not fun.
Thankfully we prepaid our gas last summer for this winter at
 1.45 a gallon.
It is now over $5 a gallon at some suppliers around here. UGH!
Praying we can squeak by with our latest fill up.

What are you up to? Are you tired of winter? Are you decorating
to keep a spring in your step? See how I did that? "SPRING"...
lol. Can't wait!!

Just a little fyi: The white hearts in the photos above were GOLD Christmas
ornaments that I purchased at Walmart after Christmas at 75% off and
I gave them the white treatment. Went back to get more and they were gone,
but I do love how these turned out.

Blessings~

Happy, happy, happy :)

I had this post all done and tried to post it several times last week and it wouldn't post so here we go again.
This time I thought before I added all the wording {it wouldn't save it either} I would just see if it would post
today and wa la it did! So now I have to edit it to add the script. lol I am just glad it posted!!

I have been trying to use up items that I have had laying around here instead of purchasing more fun
things so these are my latest creations. Old bingo cards embellished with words and flowers.

I punched the letters out of old game pieces. I have tons of these!!

Faith, Hope, Love, Dream, Trust

I haven't decided if they are done or if I should add ribbon to hang them, but I think I like them as they are. 

After I created the ones above I just had to make this banner.

If you watch Duck Dynasty then you know all about

happy , happy, happy!!

Love that show!

Happy weekend friends...it is almost over, but it was beautiful here in Michigan
today...finally!! :) Can't wait for more warm days.

Peace, Love, Joy and Hope

I did a little after Christmas shopping one day last week and found these adorable white
frosted pine and bell garlands so I purchased the last two @ 50% off.

I hung them on my chippy white shutters and took a few pictures.
I do  love taking pictures. :)

Don't you just love the simplicity ? I do.

I was thinking that these would make neat postcards or notecards.
What do you think?  I may check into that.


Praying that whatever is going on in your life right now, that you are at peace and
have love and joy in your heart. If by chance you are going through hard times,
please don't give up...there is always hope.

Hope ~

But I will hope continually, and will praise You

yet more and more.

Psalms 71:14

And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? my hope and expectation are in you.

Psalms 39:7

I have added a few more items to my Etsy store such as

childrens high top button shoes, autograph book etc.

Great goodies!
