"Happy Thanksgiving..."

...may your heart swell

with

boundless gratitude...

and sing a sweet song of love and joy!

"We can only be said to be alive

in those moments

when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

~Thornton Wilder

"How About..."

...another autumnal heart?

This one is

draped in rich brown suede...(cowgirl style)

and is

all blinged out with a pair of

"flirty-girly"

copper colored cactus flowers.

She rises,

full of energy and curiosity,

in the rosy dawn of another beautiful

Arizona desert morning...:)

Hmmm...

What will this day bring???

♥

Have a "Happy Blooming Tuesday" all! :)

“Slow buds the pink dawn

like a rose

from out night's gray and cloudy sheath;

softly and still it grows and grows,

petal by petal, leaf by leaf.”
~Susan Coolidge

"Heart of the Canyon..."

♥

I post this card

in the wee hours of the morning today

as a tribute to honor

the brave Chilean miners

being successfully rescued this very hour.

What a miracle.

These next anxiety filled hours and days

will be a test of all that is

good in mankind.

I send wishes of happiness and joy and peace

from here

in the desert valley of Arizona

to Camp Hope...high in the Chilean desert...

to the loyal and loving families of the trapped miners

and along with it

my deepest appreciation

to the problem solvers...their heroic rescuers.

“Hope is the dream of a soul awake.”
~French Proverb

"A Seeded Autumnal Heart..."

...It seems to me

that most people in the northern hemisphere

really enjoy Autumn.

Personally...

it is my most favorite season

of them all.

So...

in celebration of this glorious time of year

I have put a "heart into my art"

and designed several

seasonal pieces with which to

share my love.

♥

Enjoy them all.

I just had to digitally flip this one for old time's sake...:)

Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!

♥
"This very moment is a seed

from which

the flowers of tomorrow's happiness grow."
