Dreams and Loves

Happy February, everyone!

It's the shortest month of the year and also the most loving one, too.  Thoughts of hearts are swirling in my head.  Look at this rock!  Do you see what I see?  There is definitely a heart there.  It made me smile, and I just had to take a photograph of it.  I love finding symbols in nature.

I included this heart in my Dream Board that I created for Lifebook.  I don't mind sharing it with you, as it projects my hopes and dreams for the year to come.  I infused it with a lot of love and aspirations.   I've included both my personal and professional dreams for the year.  I am striving to improve my art and would love to try and submit some work for publication (which is why I included a Somerset Studio cover here featuring Kelly Rae Roberts - who I adore).  It's a scary thought for me, but I definitely want to try.  Health is another big goal for me, as I want to improve it for me so I have the energy to thrive and live.  I've included doors and keys in the hopes of opening up new opportunities for myself - both personally and professionally. There is also a little etsy symbol here, as I continue to dream up new designs and artwork for the shop.  I haven't had much time to update my blog, as I've been taking tons of new photographs of the items in my shop.  It has turned into a bigger project than I expected!  But I am rather pleased with the "new and improved" photos. Believe it or not, I have still a few more to go!  Plus, I have some new art pendant necklaces to upload...lots of happy work!



Lately my heart has been a bit sad, as thoughts of Borders have filtered into my mind lately. It has been five months since the store closed. I still have my rewards card on my key chain...I just can't seem to part with it. And when I was searching for some photos on the computer, I came across the photos I took of the store when it was closing. It just about broke my heart. I created this treasury today as a love letter to books. I shall never own a Kindle or Nook - I LOVE holding an actual book in my hands...I love the feel of the paper, the smell of the paper, and just everything else about a "real" book. The heart loves what it loves.



Here's a more traditional tribute to love...the heart! This collection is pretty and red and happy. It made me smile while I was creating it - but it also gave me a big craving for chocolate!

Hope you all have a wonderful week. If you missed it, Punxsutawney Phil predicted another six weeks of winter! Hope you don't have a day like Bill Murray did here. But you know - he DID get it right - and in the end, that's what matters most!


Til next time,
Theresa
