heart the art: weeks 20 & 21

i realized last night when i was finishing these babies up and putting them into my book that although i've completed and posted all but these two HEART the ART pages, i have not uploaded to--or visited-- the HTA flickr gallery in weeks! yikes! (if you haven't checked it out, it's well worth the trip!) ok, so it's a two-fer today on pages:

week #20--HOLD BACK:
throughout my entire life, 90% of the times i've been in trouble, it's been because of my mouth! one of my worst faults in this realm is to lose my temper and speak without thinking. it doesn't happen all that often, but when it does, the results are just never, EVER positive. i am working on it. :)


week #21: UP 'TIL NOW:
the vertigo/dizziness situation regarding lovely husband jeff is ongoing. he actually has *TWO* significant doctor appointments this week. there is a possibility that we may be closing in on the cause of his dizziness, and--here's the tricky part--if they are right, it would be a FIXABLE thing! we're trying not to get TOO excited, because we've actually had a few false starts at this which turned out to be wrong...so who knows! but if anyone finds themselves with some free time on wednesday morning or friday afternoon and wants to send a few positive vibes in LHJ's direction, we will sure appreciate it! it would be SO COOL if there was a light--one that's NOT attached to a TRAIN--at the end of this tunnel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥


ok, well, not that i was stressing about lagging slightly behind the last few weeks, but it always feels good to be caught up at *SOMETHING* doesn't it?! ...and how especially cool to enjoy that sensation on a MONDAY MORNING, eh??!!! :)

  1. Man you know I am passing the word to all the angels, gods and demi-gods I can think of. No trains, just clear end-of-tunnel light waiting for you.

  2. So wishing and praying for you and your hubby that you find the answer to his vertigo and it is indeed fixable. I so admire your beautiful artwork!

  3. Ah yes, I just caught up on my mother's day cards. I made 3 "thinking of you" cards on Saturday and rushed to the post office. I arrived there at 1:55pm (close at 2pm on Saturday). Whew...hopefully they will forgive me; I have never been late for holidays before now.

    I even got a small set of teacher thank you cards made yesterday...next up, father's day :)

    Great pages, as usual. I love your take and genius insight to the prompts and your artsy response.

  6. Hmm, separated at birth? Could be....
    I, too, am wont to say some really horrible things when angry. Rarely ever does it work out. As for fixating on a current problem - don't we all? :) I'm a worst case scenario kinda gal myself. Which is sometimes a good thing because I'm rarely unprepared!
    Poor LHJ, poor Lauren! Good vibes to you both, my friend. And massive amounts of luck!
