I'm leaving tomorrow!

I am so tired of winter, so I'm leaving this...

to fly here...

Mesa, Arizona

to visit my Step-Mom, Bunnie

and help her celebrate her 90th Birthday!
While I am in Arizona, I won't have access to a computer
at all (which will be real hard for me!) so I
will catch up on visiting when I return.

Before I go, I wanted to show you some amazing cards and gifts I received
for my birthday, from friends.....here in Pittsburgh and also blogging friends.
I have been so touched by the out-pouring of good wishes...I didn't mind
so much turning 62! I am so blessed!

 Can you believe that 2 different people (who don't know each other) gifted me
with adorable pieces of Michelle Palmer's art?

(Oh Marie-I wish it looked like this from my doorway! Can't wait for Spring!)

 Aren't handmade cards the best? I was overwhelmed at the love
that came in the mail. Thank you sweet friends!
I have also started to receive some Valentines from the swap I'm in with
 Elizabeth of Creative Breathing and friends
but I don't want to post them until I return next week.

I 'd also  like to share this cute FREE download I found
at Betty Crocker Wannabe here

(click on this photo to enlarge but visit Kristen's blog for other amazing things!)
The text from 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 is one of the most often used readings at weddings.
What a wonderful reminder for Valentine's Day.
I just sized and printed it out, backed it with some cardstock and framed it in a 5X7-inch frame.

Until next week....

xoxo
