IT'S WRITTEN IN STONE......................" heart art "

Aren't hearts beautiful?

I soooo want to do this when we redo the downstairs bathroom - isn't it fun?

PINTEREST

I also love the idea of a painted heart right on the wall

PINTEREST

or photos shaped into one

Anything with heart has got to be good, right?

I had black stones I used to keep in glass vases for decor....................

I also had a board I had created from pallets..............

Neither were being used - so I brought them both together for this project -

After dry brushing the pallet " frame " with white paint - I used " No More Nails " to stick the black stones into a heart shape.

I spread the glue with a paint stir stick and simply placed the stones over it - letting it set for 20 minutes or so

I placed the 2 miniature Christmas trees in galvanized tins from the dollar store ( the trees are from Ikea - 9.99 ) and will keep them up for Winter decor  ( maybe Spring, Summer and Fall too - I love them )

John says - What are you doing exactly ( as I was diligently placing the rocks on the pallet )
Suzan says -  Making art
John says - With Rocks?
Suzan says - Yup
John says - Well if you run out you can use the ones in your head
Suzan says - Is that you trying to be witty again ?

 ( Just in case anyone wants to know - the star is from Target )

So after this post was all written up - I realized I could use this black lantern - with cut outs on it saying
" JOY "  " HOPE " and " LOVE " when a tea light is placed inside.
Well, well, well - love would work perfectly with this, don't you think?

Along with 2 wooden hearts my daughter Ashley made me years ago

And before I even realized what was happening - a Valentine's mantel was born
( I don't " do " Valentine's or Easter mantels - this one did itself lol - I tried it a couple of times in the beginning of my blogging adventure but it's not something I can really get into )

You can see the Valentine's Soda left for me last year HERE - she's one little talented fur baby !

Have a wonderful day y'all
Hugs

Good morning everyone!
First I'm going to make you a cup of tea

1 lump or 2 ?

Ok - here you go -

You can sit over there - here's a pillow to put behind your back - get nice and comfy

You've never seen anything quite like this collection ( cross my heart )

A little music to accompany the Heart Museum?

Every night in my dreams

I see you

I feel you

that is how I know you go on

Near

Far

wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more

you open the door

and you're here in my heart

and my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time

and last for a lifetime

and never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you

one true time I hold to

in my life we'll always go on

you're here

there's nothing to fear

and I know that my heart will go on

we'll stay

forever this way

you are safe in my heart

and my heart

will go on

and on

and on
