It's "I (heart) Me" month in my BPS class, A Life Well Crafted. One of the projects is to look for hearts (non-Valentine hearts) in our surroundings and take pictures for a mini album. I think the project is more for the full-version students than the audio-only students (like me), but I thought I'd play along in my own way by simply posting pictures to my blog. Here's what I've found so far:
This heart is hanging on one of my walls at work. It's from Georgia's heart checkup in January. When Georgia had her ECG done, she thought she was going to be able to see her heart (and of course she couldn't), so the nurse quickly cut a heart shape from the ECG printout that she wasn't going to keep for Georgia's file (because she had captured a better one). I love it, and I will either use it on a scrapbook page or put it in Georgia's treasure box someday.
This picture is hanging in my office as well. It's a "love bug" that Sophia drew for me last year.
This frame is sitting on my desk at work. Madeline gave it to me for Christmas in 2007. (The shell is from my coworker who brought it back from New Zealand.)
This heart hangs on a wall near my home computer. It was hand-painted by a friend of mine and I received it by winning a draw through her blog last fall.
Sophia and Madeline created this heart for me (for this project) at bedtime last night.
This is Georgia's beautiful quilt with a heart applique made by her paternal grandmother. I enjoyed taking pictures of Georgia with her quilt this afternoon.
I hope I'll be able to find (and post) more hearts this month. I could always make something up, like heart-shaped pancakes, but I'd love to find something natural like a rock (or potato chip!) in the shape of a heart.
