Valentopia

This sign at Target made me laugh. 

I've been trying to make a few Valentines.  Of course I haven't created anything in such a long time. At least way before Christmas when all the plumbing issues started with the house.  I had to pack away so many of my art supplies to get things moved for the foundation people as well.  Did I label things...Nooooo.  So trying to make a few Valentine has become more of an exercise in frustration, than any kind of fun. I am serious, things are such a mess around here, I could barely find a thing to work with.  I had to unpack at least a dozen boxes, and still could not find what I wanted/needed.  With much gnashing of teeth and a few tears and woe is me's, I did get a few done.  Mailed several yesterday, and Hub just left with the last few to drop in the mail today.  They will be late, but peeps will be so surprised that I even did them, they won't mind.  Now to clean the mess and get to work on making one for Hub, at least I don't have to mail it.




 
For the last two, I used the wonderfully drawn birds from a free download from Zoranaland. zoranaland blogspot com
 
One photo is too dark, the other too light. Sorry, my brain is stressed, I think I need a nap.

  1. But it's a fine looking mess, don't you think, Ollie? And it made for quite a few lovelies.
    You could take a pic of your table top & use that as another Valentine!
    The one with the multiple hearts & the golden birdie above it are my faves at the moment. The other three are so sweet as well . . .

    Nice going. Wish I could say your front yard turned out so nice - what a mess!
