Sometimes Love Hurts!

I heard a new term on Valentine's Day yesterday,
and my heart leaped with joy!!
AT LAST, we have recognition that Valentine's Day can be
a difficult one for those who find themselves alone, or single and
without a love interest, or maybe hurting from a recent break up.
YES, many do have families, but STILL,
Valentine's Day seems to magnify the "alone-ness" all the more
as couple's are seen holding hands, kissing, exchanging gifts, etc.,
and the result of this often brings on depression.


So, I say Hallelujah for S.A.D. and decided to offer
a tribute to the day with my post and my card!!  :)


This sweet little image comes from Mo Manning at

One of the reasons I think I was drawn to this precious image

is because I am an RN (though now retired),
so always looking for cute "Nursey" images.
Look at that adorable face!!

Mo's done a beautiful job on this piece of art, hasn't she?

  2. Chris, Thank you!! You're so blessed, I've never taken a thorough class. I took a couple of short classes at a local Scrap shop, and since then I've watched lots of videos on YouTube, but that's about it. I'm sure you will do far better than I do!!!

    Are you taking one of Suzanne's classes? I would love to learn from her!!
