Keeping Up With #LOVE"

Thursday, January 19, 2017

Hello, hello, hello friends, followers, visitors and viewers.  It is almost here!  What?  The weekend! Yay!  You thought I was going to mention something else didn't you?  I know you did but enough of "that" is going on elsewhere.  Today is a great day and it is going well and I don't want any spoilers to mess it up.

I looked back on the cards I had made for the week and they all looked like Valentine's Day cards or cards that can be used for that occasion.  So, why not continue the tradition today and make another one.  Since I have all the hearts and files with Valentine's Day materials on my desk it became an easy task.
Supplies I used to create the card:

• Neenah white cardstock; red dotted Bazzill cardstock;
• dies: Spellbinders Vines of Passion (heart); Spellbinders Mariza' Bouquet (green leaves); Spellbinders Swirl Bliss (opening in the middle of card); small hearts that came from using a Cricut cartridge ( Artbooking).
• stamp: Heidi Swapp stamp set - The Big Day "Save the Dates" (#LOVE)
• Embellishments: Petaloo textured red blossoms 

Enjoy the view:

Thanks for joining me today.  Love to have you come over and better yet, I love your comment(s).

Sending you a hug and LOVE,

"Did All Of Your Doors Open?"

Good Wednesday to my Friends, Followers, Visitors and Viewers.
What kind of doors do you like to go through?  Single, double, revolving, panel, flush, French, bypass, patio, etc...

Some doors that were built in the early 1900's are too small for a very  large person in 2016 to go through, especially bathroom doors in older buildings ( our small town discovered this when they were remolding an old building).   This can also be said about some revolving doors.  Larger people cannot fit into the little section they have deem applicable for entering the building.
So, have you found any doors lately that you cannot go through and maybe not due to your size?

 Have you had any obstacle in your way when you have attempted to get that job, find that prestige school or program for your child?  What about finding that potential buyer for your home , or the guy or girl you thought would be a perfect match for a relationship?  Those kinds of doors didn't open and your key didn't fit.  Are you disappointed or happy that this door didn't open?

All doors are not  for you to go through.  There are many reasons for it. I'm only giving you one reason today.  It was for your own good or protection the reason you couldn't open or go through the door.  Something behind that door would have been very harmful or unsafe for you. It would have made you different from your DNA or change your personality.  Be glad it didn't open.  A caution to some people who older people call "hardheaded individuals"...if you think you are big, bad and bold and push your way in...you will never be satisfied on the other side.

Take a look at the cards that goes with this posting:
