Love Me ‘Til My Heart Stops Photographic Art

004-Print-LoveMeTilMyHeartStops

This is an art piece I designed from a shot at the beach. It was inspired by a song that was playing on the radio while various thoughts ran through my head and my imagination ran wild. When’s the last time you let your imagination run wild? You should give it a whirl. It’s liberating.

Day Nineteen: 31 Days of Props

It’s overcast here in Palm Coast this morning. The weather sometimes dominates my creative mood so for today’s 31 Days of Props challenge, I’ve created a canvas style piece of art from a photograph of the beach. The words just came to mind while I was creating this piece. It’s sad if you don’t have someone that you’d like to say this to… and amazing if you do. I hope he or she hears you when you tell them.

First year of being a mom

Today my precious little girl turned one. I fell in love with my special  little package of perfection all over again. It’s been a very special day that I feel so fortunate to share with our good friends and my father. How fast they do grow. I cherish every moment. It’s a blast to have each day to see her grow into her own little self. She has so much sweetness inside of her and a very big pocketful of personality! (We know where she got that!).

True friends warm hearts

Every time I spend time with my precious girlfriend Natalie, I am reminded of what a true friend is. She’s so genuinely sweet and caring. I just want to wrap her up and ship all of her goodness to people who could learn so much from her! What a gem.

I blogged about Natalie a month or two ago and posted her song which melts my heart every time I hear it. She wrote it for her husband, Jeremy whose every bit as sweet as she is! They make the sweetest couple! I envy them for the support they give to one another and all the fun they have together. It’s intoxicating to be around them so I really need to make a date with them and soon!

Love, love, love them!
