conversation hearts

It's no secret . . . I LOVE SWEETS! Seasonal candy is my nemesis for sure. Candy corn . . . candy canes . . . conversation hearts . . . jelly beans . . . . you can bet that I get my fill of these delicious treats during the holiday seasons. I can never seem to get enough done in my art studio (aka the dining room table) tho which also a sweet craving that I have . . . often. I created some unique, fun Christmas ornaments this year to send to friends and family. I also have been creating these conversation hearts for Valentine's Day. I love these little candies and have to read each one as I nibble on them. So I've enjoyed finding unusual words to put on these . . . more to come!

Peace Man

I came across this pic a while back and it always brings a smile to my face. I have a printed copy in my classroom and my students love it also. Peace should make us smile. It should warm our heart and soothe our minds. I hope your week has been wonderful and hope that your find something to make you smile this weekend and warm your soul. I hope you find a moment to enjoy some peace.
Namaste.

Blessed are the Peacemakers

Here is a tile I made in my class with Cami Lien at Santa Fe clay. When I see it and the other things on my Buddha table, it reminds me that we all need to be peacemakers. Maybe not making national headlines or the local news but in your own heart and home. Check out this website today and see if you can recognize these peacemakers. It's quite a list. If you find one you don't recognize or don't know . . . research their work in the world some more. http://www.salsa.net/peace/faces/index.html
