Guest Heart Thursday #147

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

 I used to live in Colorado ... and fell in love with the beauty of the Pikes Peak region.

Although I have been in Oregon for years, I still find myself missing the raw beauty of Colorado.

That's where "Al's Photography Blog" comes in.

When I need a Colorado fix, I come here!

I especially love it when Al surprises me with a heart - do you see it? It's part of that beautiful red rock ... just under the tree in the center of the photo!

Thank you, Al, for sharing your heart!

One of the finest people I've come across over my blogging years is "Jesh" St Germain.

Not only is she an incredible artist, she's a wonderful, kind and generous person.

You can find her over at her blog, "Artistique".

Thank you, Jesh, for sharing your water lily hearts!

I've always been fascinated with paper dolls - ever since I was little and used to cut them out of "Sears" catalogs.  I still love paper dolls - and "Marges8's Blog" is the place I go to when I feel nostalgic for that innocent time in my life!

But paper dolls aren't all you will find when you visit Marge.

You will, here too, find a lovely friend.

Who has touched my heart in so many ways (and not just in the beautiful flower petal hearts on this paper doll)!

Thank you, Marge, for sharing your heart!

 

There are no words to describe this beautiful heart that Teri posted on her blog "Teri H. Hoover Photography".

Because "stunning, incredible, breathtaking", etc. have already been taken!

This is not unusual for Teri. Everything she posts is awesome!!!

Thank you, Teri, for sharing your heart!

I found Kathryn's blog by accident, when I was surfing around a bit.

Ah - A kindred heart seeker!!!

Be sure to visit Kathryn's Tumblr account ... "Have Heart"

Thank you, Kathryn, for sharing your heart!

Guest Heart Thursday #146

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

(Note: Our cold spell has broken at last, and I will be spending a whole lot more time visiting you, my friends - and catching up on what I've missed the past couple of weeks! Thank you so much for understanding - I hope you are all staying warm and happy!)

Perhaps you've seen them around YOUR town ...

Paper hearts hanging in stores and restaurants ...

Fund raisers for various charities -

I found paper hearts at my local market; and decided to do some research.

What I found was our local chapter of CCA (Children's Cancer Association).

And fell in love with their mission statement.

"We prescribe joy.

For children diagnosed with serious illness and their families, every moment is precious. At CCA, our goal is to transform as many of those moments as possible — with joy.

Why joy?

Because in the fight against devastating illness, joy is often forgotten. Because joy connects us with the power of hope, comfort, and happiness and helps families and children feel uplifted when their lives have been turned upside down. Because joy is something every child deserves."

 In a break from "Guest Heart Thursday" tradition, I am issuing a challenge to you, the heart seekers of the world - to buy a heart - or make a donation to a charity local to your area, take a picture of your heart, and post it on your blog sometime in February!

Then link it up to Guest Heart Thursday!

It doesn't have to be today - there is still a lot more time!

Not only will you find a lovely heart to share ... but you will help to spread love and joy around the world - and help someone who needs it desperately in the process!

Until then, I can't wait to see the random hearts you've found in your world!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

Once again, Texwisgirl sent me a link to one of the cutest hearts around ...

Sandra over at "Elephant Lover" is a very special lady, who does more than just talk about her passion - helping animals - she takes action!!!

She recently posted a delightful heart she found on her kitty.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to ask Sandra if I could post her heart here today ... and I try to be very careful of copyright laws.  But this heart is so special, I'm putting a direct link to her kitty heart post - HERE!

Thank you, Sandra, for sharing your heart!

Thank you, again, Texwisgirl, for finding and sharing the link!

Just a note: I haven't been online for a while - mostly because of the weather. You see, we live in a drafty old farm house, heated only by a single wood stove in the living room. My computer is tucked into a corner of a different room, and when it is cold outside ... well, let's just say I've had to run my hands under warm water twice this morning - just to post this much - and I can no longer feel my toes!

I can't wait until warmer weather so that I can come back and visit you all more often.

Brrrrrrrr.

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

Valentines Day is coming!

Soon hearts will abound!

But none will EVER be as cute ...

As this.

When you visit her over at "NanaHood"!

Thank you, Theresa, for sharing your heart!

I had to love the story of this heart ...
 

Dorothy delights my heart each week with postcards featuring hearts for every occasion imaginable!

But when she tried to find a New Year heart to post on her blog, "Coffeedoff's CoffeeBreak", there were none to be found!

Dorothy was just about ready to admit defeat ... when she got this postcard in the mail.

Complete with a heart!

Thank you, Dorothy, for sharing your heart!

You may know Susannah as "Wanderin' Weeta" ... because that's her blog - "Wanderin' Weeta (with Waterfowl and Weeds)"!

I have been following Susannah's blog for a long time now ... but it seems like I am always learning something new about nature and beauty - each time I visit!

Susannah's post about lichen last week had so many hearts in it, I had a hard time choosing which shot to feature! I see at least 5 in this photo ... do you see more?

Thank you, Susannah, for sharing your heart!

I can't say enough about how much I love Leovi's art.

He does things with everyday items ... reflections and colors ... that fascinate me.

I look forward to each and every work of art Leovi posts over at ("Abstract Photos")!

Thank you, Leovi, for sharing your heart!

And then Debbie just had to post the most DELICIOUS heart of all time!

It's a bear claw heart!!!

"It's All About Purple" ... a wonderful place!

Thank you Debbie (and Chuck) for sharing your breakfast ... er, your heart!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!
