vintage us

This week’s photo prompt at the 52 Photos Project is {VINTAGE}…..how fitting that my man and I celebrated our 20 year FIRST KISS anniversary this week.  Seems this shot from the early days must almost certainly be classified as VINTAGE, at least for us.  So here you are, a peek at vintage us….

then…

and now….

Some people (including, sometimes, my hubby) don’t understand the need to keep celebrating this day after you get married and have a wedding anniversary.  But he humours me (remember how he whisked me off to Mexico last year?)…..and I say, “any excuse to eat cake!”

What upcoming excuses do you have to make cake & celebrate?

sometimes….

Sometimes in the middle of a grey wintery week, the sun SHINES! Sometimes just when you think you are all tuckered out by a beach walk you find the energy to FLY! And sometimes the kids are actually happy to have a camera crazy mama….some times, these times, I hope to remember for always.

 P.S.  Special thanks to our neighbour friends who joined in the sunset flying fun!

little ART + big LOVE

The table is covered in glitter and glue, paper doilies and pink hearts.  Soon I hope to find  a moment to join the kids and make a few handmade Valentine’s cards too.   But I also know I can’t possibly find the time to make one for everyone I would like to send one to. Good thing I printed some new “you are loved” art cards!  They are now available in three colour combinations…red (shown), rainbow (multi-coloured) and mermaid (blues and greens).  These will be perfect for carrying my heart-felt wishes to my grandparents, my sister, my childhood BFF, and my other family and friends.  Now I realize that I cannot possibly get them all in the mail for Valentine’s Day, but isn’t it important to tell them how much we love them any day of the year?

Art Cards --- set of THREE in RAINBOW colours - Ecofriendly

If anyone is interested in purchasing some of my little art full of BIG LOVE, please drop me a line.  Cards are 100% recycled paper and just 3 bucks each (or four cards for $10).  The small “you are loved” art block (3 x 4 inches, shown in black and white, other colours and words can be painted upon request) is an original painting that will make your sweetie smile.  On sale this week for just $15!  The larger paintings (acrylic on canvas, 6 x 6 inches) are also on sale this week for just $40 each.

Please remember that I love doing custom orders and can help you celebrate a wedding or anniversary with an original piece of art!   These custom hearts are a great way to recognize the year it all began and available in any colour combo and of course I can change the words to suit.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Custom Heart

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.  Make sure you tell them how you feel on this special day and every other chance you get!
