are showing off the last pages in the February Hearts journal
Thanks to N from Tennessee for posting this quote. "Don't ever be ashamed of loving the things that make your weird little, heart happy. Since my students were studying about Drolleries, the weird, little drawings in the margins of medieval manuscripts, I didn't think they should have all the fun. This turned out to be my favorite page in the whole book.
Elizabeth and Bleubeard were the inspiration for this page as they had made an origami kite. The quote on my page: Follow your heart.
May I use my hands each day to give more than I receive
To help and not harm
To create rather than destroy
I love my chubby birds on music pages.
"My heart is like a singing bird." Christina Rosetti
"Love is the only gold" - Alfred Lord Tennyson
The last page was Lindsay's prompt. A heart shaped filled with hearts and painted black/grey. I forget what quote she wrote around the edge. I used "Love never ends". The end.

I love the 'Don't ever be ashamed' quote - we are too apologetic about our sometimes weird little ways.
