An Open Letter

To my Dear Art Dolls, 

It’s been less than a month since we met – but what a turbulent and crazy time it’s been.

I fell so hard over heels when we met – it was one of those “love at first sight” moments … something I never believed in until I met you and my feet were swept away. 

It’s been wonderful getting to know you – which I always said about meeting someone later in life – I wouldn’t want to because you’d have to open up about all those things you really don’t want to discuss again, things you’d put a lid on, people you don’t want to bring back into your life – stuff you’d have to explain because otherwise it doesn’t make sense who you are and where you’re at. 

With you though – you are such an amazing listener – you just sit there and wait for my thoughts or emotions to come through.

You scare me just a little bit too – infatuation like this is a bit scary … because when you give your heart so totally to something new, there is always the possibility of getting hurt – and I know that this potentially could happen.

That one day we might be done  - oh, to just say that out loud, it sure hurts my heart – but history has shown me that there is always a possibility this could happen with any new craft adventure!

But when you meet someone new you must have faith, you have to trust and you have to just let go …

I have faith – I have faith that you’ll make me grow as an artist.

I trust you – I’m holding your hand and letting you take me down a path I never knew existed and I do not question it is the right path.

I’m letting go – my heart is so full of joy and I can’t wait to see where this takes us …

Happy Valentines my Dear Art Dolls

A Valentine Pinterest

It’s that time again …

It is Pinterest Friday – or if you are a hopeless romantic it is Valentines (real soon!).

So I thought todays post should be about Valentines

Except I really do not care for this Holiday – at all!

Mr. Hubby knows this – and won’t be getting me neither roses nor chocolate – ’cause he kind of knows I find it tacky. I’d much rather have chocolates any other day of the year – and tulips over roses … every time!

Anyhow – I decided I should check out IF it was possible to find anything on Pinterest under “Valentine” that I actually could say that I liked.

I found this

… and that was really it – I thought this would be cute for a class … fortunately I don’t think either of mine want to do Valentines this year – but if they do, maybe I’ll try to push this one on them!

From then on – I mean I did find things I liked on the Valentines search but every time it was more that it was Red & White that made me like it.

Being Danish, I love me some Red & White … our flag is like the most beautiful flag in the world!

Living in Canada … the Canadian flag is not far behind – and I love that I, on any given day will see a red/white flag waving in the wind – if I sort of squint and pretend real hard I can for a split second think I’m actually in Denmark …

Oh no – there I go again digressing … happens all the time these days …

So let’s get to it – let me show you some lovely Red & White things I found today while looking around!

See I wouldn’t need to only have this out for Valentines – I could easily look at this every day … year round – I have a serious love affair with mobiles!

I could totally see me doing something with this and giving it to my little peeps. Again – I would want them to know I love them year round and not just on Valentines … I’m all about telling them all the time!

… and just because I used to make a LOT of cakes … I thought I’d share this one with you because I think it is simple but very pretty!

Oh, and since we’re talking about cakes and all that – here are the cake pops I made for my 40th a little while back

and from the candy buffet …

…. mmmmm ….

I’m ALL about red boots – I love love love red shoes or boots … just absolutely love them.

Thing about red shoes/boots though – you HAVE to be in a mood to chat with people because it never fails. I put my red boots on and every one I bump into will comment on them – you cannot be in a bad mood with red footwear – I dare you to try it!

But I could certainly do with a new pair – and these would be just honky dory for this cold Canadian winter

but even better than me wearing red shoes or boots

there is N O T H I N G in this world that makes me smile more than a baby or a toddler with red shoes … absolutely nothing … it screams LOVE at me

with these I wish you a Happy Weekend – and if you’re all about the Valentines too – have a great Tuesday next week!
