OK…Those of you that really know me…know I love anything heart shaped in its natural state. Mainly I collect heart rocks wherever I go. Well, when I find a heart in my food, I just get goofy happy. So here is my latest little treasure. A heart shaped Cheeto…from the bottom of my bag.
I just think it is the cutest thing. Should I seal it to preserve it or will that wreak it? OR…maybe I can get big bucks for it on eBay? It’s worth more than $10 bucks to me, but maybe someone would pay a lot more for it…Ya think? Hum….it’s just so stinkin’ cute! A necklace maybe? Preserved in a little clear locket…oh my! I know, I’m nuts…
oh, and I love birdies… a while back I found this birdie frito! How bizarre!
Lee Ann Womack-Country Musician 8/19/1966 "I Hope You Dance"
Orville Wright-Aviator 8/19/1871 Co-inventor of the Airplane
Gene Roddenberry-Screenwriter 8/19/1921 Creator of Star Trek
Matthew Perry-Actor 8/19/1969 Chandler on Friends
Coco Chanel-Fashion Designer 8/19/1883 Chanel No.5 (wow, found out some of her boyfriends…Igor Stravinsky, the 2nd Duke of Westminster and the Grand Duke Dmitri…hum, she must have been hot!)
Ogden Nash-Poet 8/19/1902 "Women would rather be right than reasonable"
Peter Gallagher-Actor 8/19/1955 We were in the hospital entering the world at the same time…While You Were Sleeping and tons of other films…he’s still is a cutie…
Not bad company!
but there is always the exception…
One I’m NOT so proud of…Bill Clinton 8/19/1946 the Pig
AUGUST 19 1955
When you are starting to get OLD then your birthday is a time when you find yourself really reflecting…it was a weird day thinking about turning 54. NOT so much about turning older, that really doesn’t bug me, but just thinking about my life and the past and the hurts and the things we cannot change and the things we can and should change. I was just wore out from thinking too much today. Took a nap, then got creative. Found this old picture of me when I turned 11. (spots look like bubble gum but you can see in the other picture it’s just water spots)
I added liquid applique and glitter for the icing!
I used our cute August Stamp of the Month!
I also silver embossed the cake pedestal and a little birdie on the top.
I love birds. My Mom used to call me Brenda Bird because I held my hands tucked under my armpits like wings, and I loved to sing.
I remember everyone in this photo. From left to right…Teresa, my cousin Terri, my bff Vickie and Nancy, and of course me in the front.
Another interisting tidbit about me… My Mom was carrying twins and miscarried one. Then my sister Karen was born on August 19, 1954. She was tiny and premature and only lived 14 days. I was born on
August 19, 1955 exactly one year to the day later. I miss having a sister, but I’m so very blessed to have so many close friends that are like sisters to me who love me and would do anything for me, not to mention my wonderful kids and MY mother. Plant seeds and sing songs today!
All I can say is WOW!!! To all my supportive Close to My Heart peers and friends, THANK YOU! I was just awarded the prestigious "Spirit of Close To My Heart" award! My friends and family kept this a big secret from me and I had no clue! Not only did I receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a lovely crystal heart statue, my family there to surprise me and a video of my 18 years with the company, but I also received a generous check that will be just the shot in the arm I need toward my goal of owning my own home! WOW!
Also…My donation that I made for the Operation Smile auction brought in enought to pay for one operation! That means that a child will have this life changing surgery from this one piece of artwork! How awesome is that!!! We raised over $5,000 for Operation Smile! A special thanks to my friend, Joanne Walton for making this event possible!
This was my project I donated-an interchangable 18 x 24 canvas. The photos can be swapped out to personalize it!
And here is my team having dinner together at CPK the first night!

My Inspiration Institute team ROCKS!
