Be careful with your heart! Oh so true. I have several inspirations for this painting, one of which is very near and dear to my own heart. Too often I see young women so readily giving away their hearts (and other things) to 'boys' who do nothing but take advantage and abuse such a wonderful gift. And telling a young lady that the love she is feeling is worng is.. is... is.. HARD! Not only hard but juxtapositional, we don't know what she is feeling, they very well might be in love, but on the other hand we too often whitness the 'signs' that tells us THIS ISN'T RIGHT. We try to reach out and help but more often than not we forget that we don't have the ability to change a person. SOOOOOOO, this is why at an early age we have to teach our daughters, sisters, cousins, friends, classmates, etc... that your heart, your feelings, your body, your mind, and your soul is precious and not meant to be given away on a whim. Our job is to start sooner than later in the process of instilling values in our future women. Love them, tell them you love them, and above all show them you love them. Becuase once they understand what real unconditional love is there can never be any false subsitutes.
Tip of the day:
For anyone who shops at AC Moore Crafting stores here is a tip. And for those who know this tip already ... sorry... if you go to their website and scroll all the way to the bottom and click store locator/promotions it will take you to a place to enter your zip code, then you will see the contact info for your store, but it will also have an option to click flyer or coupons. Take advantage of these offers especially the coupon which is usually about 40% a regular priced item. There is a deal up almost everyday and they last about a week until another coupon replaces it. I am always looking for a deal. Yesterday I bought 12 canvas boards and a whole big book of scrapbooking paper for $20 CAN"T BEAT IT!
Have a wonderful day
Love
Steph
