Valentine Tree, The Loss Well Known, and an Old Friend

 I did this thing, that I

never have done before,

left up my tree.

And yesterday I did this

other thing.

I made decorative 

hearts to hang on 

my tree.

I looked at several

places for hearts to 

hang on the tree and

decided that I was not

putting out a lot 

of money to do this.

SO...

I took some poster board

I had at home. Purchased

some scrapbook paper

that got may attention and 

used a stencil I had.

I drew hearts on 

my poster board using

the stencil. Then I flipped

the poster board over,

Took glue and applied

the scrapbook paper

to that side. Once dry I 

flipped back over to

the heart outline and 

cut that out. I was going

to hang them on jute using

mini close pin holders but

since my craftroom is a wreck 

I just decided to place them

on the branches of the tree.

I actually did two sizes

of hearts.

I love it. 

So this Jan. we have lost

a few well known 

stars.

First (although not in Jan)

But on new years eve....

we lost Betty White.

On the 9th we lost

Bob Sagent.

Sagent was reported to not 

have any drugs in his system 

and there was no 

foul play. 

They are looking into

it more. 

Just the other day there

was the death of Meat Loaf,

Michael Lee Aday,

lost his battle with 
COVID.

Yet another one that took

a stand against wearing

mask and taking shots. 

So sad.

Tammy, 

an older friend came

to the house to pick up the 

painting she had requested.

 

She loved it. 

Tammy and I go back to 

Jr. High School.

Met in the 7th grade,

stayed friends till she

moved to Memphis TN. 

Still stayed friends but 

finally with growing older,

having families we

grew apart. FB brought

us back together. 

She lives down around my

daughter but is living here

ten mins from me with her

dad helping him over

a stroke. 

Filled up a glove the other

day with water. Last yr

I did that with balloons

and food color. I used all

my food color then and since

I don't use it, I did not buy

anymore. Once the glove

was frozen I could not 

get the glove off.

HAHA....
