HEARTS IN NATURE & Weekend Paint Classes
Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was busy but I did take some time to browse the web for some inspiration. With Valentine's Day coming up this week "hearts" were on my mind. Mainly the hearts of my boys and wondering what kind of mom I'm going to be when they bring home their first girlfriend, fiancee, and hopefully only ever one wife.
These hearts in nature put a smile on my face and I wanted to share them with you.
I think the greatest gift you can give any one is the gift of your heart!
Giving of it unconditionally is an even better gift.
My heart is FULL - I have the world's greatest husband that is incredibly loving and attentive to me!
My 3 boys fill my heart with so much JOY! Two of them now tower of me in heighth and wonder when they grew up?
I'm not looking forward to the days of heartaches they have ahead of them with "girls" but will be here ready to comfort them when they do.

I'm off to two painting classes today - we are painting a pineapple welcome sign in both classes and my class on Wednesday is painting the crane landscape.
I want to say thank you to all my bloggy friends that are so faithful in coming to visit me. I've been terrible about emailing you back with answers and thanks! I am looking forward to some free time that I have coming up this weekend to get caught up on all my favorite blogs to visit!
Have a fabulous week. Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway for the OWOH giveaway ~ check a few posts below with the strawberry tray. I will drawing on Feb. 14th.

Great post sis. What are we going to do with the broken hearts our boys suffer??? We are going to lift them to the Lord and cry a lot of tears and then thank the Lord for the good and the bad and the wonderful gift of getting to be their mommy! Love the art work!
Looking forward to seeing the pineapple welcome signs.
Love ya,
Linda
