Happy Valentines Day to all of you! There has been no time to create any hearts or anything else for that matter in the past two weeks so here is a little mosaic of past creations. I did finish the angel in the middle this week and she will be in etsy later today. I have a bit of shopping planned for later and Earl and I will have a romantic dinner at home this evening. He's cooking (yay!) and I will be dipping the strawberries in chocolate for dessert:>) Oh it is so good to catch up with you a bit! Nothing happening to blog about really. But I also plan to grab a cup of tea and spend a little time visiting with everyone this afternoon. I may even find time to post again today. A little silly I know, but I have to grab the time when I can. I hope all of you have a Valentines day filled with love and laughter and fun!

And the winner is.....

Nikki at Whimsey Love is the winner of the One World, One Heart giveaway! I hope you enjoy this Nikki, and congratulations! I would have loved to visit more of the participants but my spare time has been in short supply the past few weeks! I miss you all, hope I'll be back soon!

For Becky

I've been lying around the house for the past three days battling the flu. Imagine my shock when I went to catch up on some blogs and found that dear Becky of Sweet Cottage Dreams has lost her son Jordan! My heart and prayers go out to you and your family Becky. Losing a child is the worst thing that any of us can imagine. Please take a moment to leave Becky a message of encouragement on her blog and to say a prayer for her family as they travel this sad road.

I didn't get much done this weekend. I wanted to do some sewing but the laundry, housework, shopping and errands won out. It's Sunday night and after finding a bag of mini Reeses pieces on sale at Kroger (half off!) I decided to make some cookies, light some candles and watch a video with my sweetheart. The house is clean(ish) and we are ready for another week. I got through part of my Google reader and was able to visit a handful of you. If I take a little time here and there I may actually catch up.

And I do want to catch up! All the lovely projects, redecorating, words of wisdom and inspiration, it's why I love you all in the first place! So I'll grab a minute here and there and I'll be around. Be patient and know that even if I don't have time to leave a note today, I'm looking in.

Seventy four days to go until I'm done with my second job. But it will get me through the last of the winter with plenty to do. I always breathe a sigh of relief that January is over, and February hardly counts with only 28 days right? March brings the hope of Spring. I can live with that! So to all my friends out there, have a great week. I'll try to drop in from time to time and I am determined to post a couple times a week. Don't forget to stop in and sign up for my give-away. It doesn't end until Feb. 11 so there is still plenty of time!

A sweet Cottage Dream Give-away

Oh the bitter irony...Wanting all these beautiful things currently being given away at Sweet Cottage Dreams, but sending more people over to add their name to the drawing and thus lessening my chances...*sigh*. Doesn't Becky do wonderful work? The adorable little "Love" sachet, one of her ultra cute cottage pennant banners and a delightful treasure trove of sweet goodies from the cottage. Do me a favor, don't go. Don't add your name to the growing list of people who would love to own Becky's beautiful thngs. Oh all right, I know you are going anyway. Good luck, and if you win because I told you about it you will split the loot with me right? Right?...
