Guest Heart Thursday #76

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A place to share YOUR heart!

When I saw this post that Namaki submitted to "Weekend Reflections", I was stunned beyond words - isn't this the most amazing reflection heart???

Namaki is from France, and I have had such a wonderful journey going through her blog "Objectif Regarder" - and you will too! Namaki's macro photos are amazing!!!

Thank you, Namaki, for sharing your heart!

Owen is from France as well ... and his blog "Magic Lantern Show ... or Mr. Toad's Travel Diary" is one of my favorite places to visit.

Owen loves rusty things, broken down old buildings, old cemeteries, and life in general. You will absolutely LOVE him when you get to know him!

Thank you, Owen, for sharing your heart!

When I think of Tina, I think PHOTO CHALLENGE!
Tina's blog "Leckeres fur Mensch und Katze
Goodies for a pleasant life" is full of them - and is another of my favorite places to visit!

Thank you, Tina, for sharing your beautiful photos ... and for sharing your heart!

I just couldn't resist featuring this wonderful "bake sale hearts" photo that my sister Leigh sent me in an e-mail. I laughed until I had tears in my eyes!

I know Leigh didn't take this photo, and I'm not sure who to give copyright credit to ... but whoever came up with this gem ... thank you!

And thank you, Honey, for sharing YOUR heart!

I found this beautiful heart rock in Dennis and Sharon's front yard - the focal point for one of their AMAZING garden spots. I love visiting their farm - what a peaceful place!

Thank you, Dennis and Sharon, for sharing your heart!

A NOTE for all of my wonderful heart friends ...
I thank you for all of the kind words, prayers and thoughts that have come my way this past several weeks. On a good note - My computer is healed!
My health issue, however, isn't so easily fixed. Knowing what is wrong, and knowing how to fix it are two very opposite concepts. I have good days and bad days. Learning what I can and can't eat is truly a LEARNING experience. I did fine yesterday until I ate a bit of onion with dinner, and had one of the worst "episodes" ever. But now I know I can't eat onions!

I haven't been able to visit you, my friends, as much as I want to ... and I truly miss you. I am working on being able to spend more time up and about, and I hope to catch up soon!

One world. One people. One heart.

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

Guest Heart Thursday #52

Welcome to a Special Edition of
Guest Heart Thursday!
A place to share YOUR heart!

Why is it so special?
Because it's WEEK 52 -
One year since Guest Heart Thursday started!

I am featuring just a few of the many hearts found this past year ...

Dani over at "Snow Flowers" found this beautiful leaf heart, glistening with diamond raindrops.
Dani also has another blog, "A Lovely Home For Hearts", where she shares the amazing hearts that find their way to her!

Thank you, Dani, for sharing your hearts!

During this past year, hearts have been found all over the world ... from the US to South America, from Australia to India and China - and beyond!

Cheryl posted this beautiful bouquet of hearts on her blog "Nostalgia: Today and Yesterday".
Cheryl also has another blog called "March to March", which I am happy to say has reached it's second "March" and is still going strong!

Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing your hearts!

During the past year, there have been 243 featured hearts ...

Several years ago I found a memory card on the ground outside an old abandoned nursery ... now a fast food restaurant. I was never able to locate the owners.

But Anonymous had taken this picture of a driftwood heart!

Thank you, Anonymous, for sharing your heart. I'm sorry you had to lose it in order for me to find it.

So far, this has been the only Anonymous heart featured.

Jay Leigh loves nature, and that shows in her blog "Pacific Northwest Nature For Families".
Jay Leigh found this gorgeous bindweed leaf heart while on a nature walk with her kids.

Thank you, Jay Leigh, for sharing your hearts!

Guest Heart Thursday has been linked to more than 630 heart posts!

Tammie Lee found this driftwood heart ... so calm and serene. You can find more of Tammie Lee's stunning photography and poetry at "Spirithelpers".

Thank you, Tammie Lee, for sharing your heart!

I wish I could feature every single heart YOU have found ... but I don't have room!
Please know that I have visited and enjoyed each and every Guest Heart link, and am awed and amazed at the hearts YOU find each week!

One world. One people. One heart.

THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THE HEARTS YOU HAVE FOUND IN YOUR WORLDS THIS PAST YEAR. I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER FANTASTIC HEART-SEEKING YEAR!

Guest Heart Thursday #24

Grannie Annie's talent in mixed media and collage art amazes me.
She has become a true friend.
A sister even.

She posted this autumn collage that she created (see, I TOLD you she is amazingly talented!) on her blog The Whimsey Asylum.
I don't think she noticed the two pumpkin hearts.

Thank you, Sissie-Dea, for sharing your beautiful talent and hearts!

Jay Leigh's Pacific Northwest Nature For Families blog is awesome.
She sees so much.
But not only does she see the beauty of nature around her ...
She shares it with us all!

When she visited the fair ... look what she found!
A pig with hearts!

Thank you so much, Jay Leigh, for sharing your hearts.

I adore the name of Lyneen's blog ... I Am Dreaming of Castles.
Lyneen is a very talented artist, who not only makes beauty in her own art, but inspires others to create beauty as well.
I know she inspires me!
I was enjoying her older posts, when I found this heart.
On a set of stamps from Stampin'D Amour.
But be sure to visit her blog to see the other hearts she has found.

Thank you, Lyneen, for sharing your hearts

Cheryl is halfway through her year-long challenge ... March to March.
One of her posts was this beautiful "Kissing Clouds Heart".

Cheryl, I've said it before and I will say it again -- but I can never say how much I appreciate you. I can only hope you never get tired of hearing it!

Thank you for sharing your year ... and your hearts.

Carole over at Noteworthy Musings found this amazing recycled art at a show this past spring. I don't think she realized ...

One of these yard ornaments ... is a heart!

Thank you, Carole, for sharing these beautiful ornaments ... and for this amazing heart.

Guest Heart Thursday #22

It has been raining here off and on for the past week.
Not the best BBQ weather.
My brother, Darren, is the BBQ King - rain was not stopping him!
As the grill got hot and dried off, he called me over.
To see the heart he had found!

Thank you, bro, for sharing this heart!

One of my favorite flower hearts comes from Squirrel Queen. Her blog, Through Squirrel Eyes, is one of my favorite places to visit.
Can you believe she found this gorgeous golden glowing heart in her own garden?

Thank you, SQ, for sharing this gorgeous heart.

I have featured Jill's squirrel eating m&m heart before.
But I felt it needed to be shown again -
How can anyone resist such an adorable little critter?

Jill is a field biologist, who has to have THE best job on the face of the planet.
Check out her blog, "Count Your Chicken, We're Taking Over" if you don't believe me!

Thank you, Jill, for sharing this amazing heart - again.

Jay Leigh over at Pacific Northwest Nature For Families is amazing.
She is a homeschooler, and she and her kids have made Guest Heart part of her life in a way that gives me goosebumps - she takes her kids out looking for hearts - as a nature lesson.
Jay Leigh, I admire you!

Thank you so much for sharing your heart!
And your life with us.

And I absolutely LOVE the way Bhavesh Chhatbar of Chaukhat.com found the heart in this banana peel. Bhavesh is best known for Wednesday Wallpaper, where he provides some of his AMAZING photographs as computer wallpaper.

Thank you, Bhavesh (and Megha!), for sharing your heart!
