Heart Hunting Hound

Do you ever run across a shape that catches your eye in unlikely places?  Quite by surprise I noticed this double heart in our driveway a few evenings ago made from pulling forward and backing into a parking spot.   Yes, it's a little late for 'heart day', but who cares. 

  Our little five year old grandson, Jacob, placed these two hearts on our bed pillows, just before they went home to Washington after their Thanksgiving week visit.

This was so close to a heart in the grass from melted snow, I couldn't resist putting a few plops of snow here and there for it to really shaped up. 

Left over Christmas lights that didn't fit in the storage boxes, holding out for another holiday. 

Sometimes we have to blatantly make the shape of a heart out of items we have on hand from the USPS.

Next hunt is for shamrocks, pots of gold or rainbows.   Be on the look-out.

Plodding on the Piano

I passed!  That is correct I passed my two assigned music pieces at piano lessons yesterday.  It felt so good.  I am still plodding along with the two from the week before.  It is so hard to master those sharps and flats.  Especially if there is two at the same time. 

Elizabeth, my teacher, is really helpful with tips on how to hold my hands, count to the beat and sit up straight.  For one of her Personal Progress value projects, she is giving me lessons.  We both are using this time to improve and add to our PP.  How generous of her to share her talent with me. 

Yes, I'm a late bloomer, but it will be worth it the first time I volunteer to accompany a group of people while singing a familiar hymn.  Try something new this year.  It will open old horizons you thought were done and grow more brain cells, too.

Chantilly Lace & A Pretty Face

These Chantilly paper crafting pages really do have 'a pretty face' from the '70's hit Chantilly Lace by Jerry Lee Lewis.  Using fabric, scoring, sanding and soft pastel colors makes spring feel like it is just around the corner.  Good ole Punxatawney Phil proved that on Saturday, Feb 2nd, when he couldn't see his shadow.  I, along with most of the wintery north states, am ready for spring to come or at least clear skies and warmer weather. 

Drop by on Wednesday, Feb 6th at 7pm to scrap the night away.  With Valentine's Day little more than a week away, make a FREE card for your sweetheart, too.  This definitely will give you 'A wiggle in the walk and a giggle in the talk will make the world go round.'
