Completely Broken Heart....

"Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop."

Very sad heart...

"Sadness flies away on the wings of time."

Sad Heart...

"The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears."

Why does my heart hurt so bad....

Well, I was planning on posting something about some of the new stuff I added to my etsy store this week, but instead I was blindsided and dumped tonight by my boyfriend of almost 7 months. Needless to say, my heart is very broken tonight and I haven't stopped crying for the past hour. I thought it would be therapeutic to vent, so in the words of Moby....

"Why does my heart feel so bad?"

"Why does my soul feel so bad?"
Goodnight everyone.....

Where I Create.....

I thought I would share a peek inside my creative space in my apartment. I am very fortunate to have this front sun porch-type room where I have everything setup and room to grow! Unfortunately since I am at work all day during the week, I do not get to enjoy & take advantage of the fabulous natural light I get in this room.






One of my favorite elements to use on my work is *FLOWERS*! I love flowers - real, paper, fabric or imaginary :-)


My basket o' paints - so many colors, so little time....
Of course Tessa has a play area in the room too (when she's not trying to "help" me create!)...
And last but not least, I bought this fabulous chandelier last year at Urban Outfitters (on sale of course!) that fits perfectly over the ugly, lonely light bulb in my ceiling fan (of course I cannot use the ceiling fan because of said chandelier, but tell me it's not worth it!).

Spread Kindness

I found this really cool website (http://www.chookooloonks.com/kindblog) where you can add this "badge" to your blog. I absolutely love the message and am thrilled to be speading the kindness! That led me to think of one of my favorite cards that I made using a quote from my all-time favorite actress, Audrey Hepburn: "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."


Enough said! Have a fabulously kind Tuesday!

By posting this badge, I'm declaring that in addition to humour, intelligence, wit, sadness, snarkiness, passion, exuberance, peace, stillness, excitability, anger or any other emotion you may witness on my site:
1) I will never intentionally hurt other people, whether I know them or not, whether they blog or not, whether they're celebrities or not, either through my words or my images. It's just not my style; and
2) I hope that by the time you've clicked away from my site, I've helped in some way to make your day just a little bit better.
