BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

I’ve been up to my old tricks of “borrowing” inspiration photos from other blogs. You may click on each photo to be taken to the blog from which I “borrowed” the photo. Don’t forget, if I have “borrowed” one of your photos, and you have not had me arrested for it, you may take the “Laurie borrowed” button to display on your blog. If you’d rather your photo not be displayed on my blog, please let me know, and I will remove it.

Another of my favorites this week is this rose, which was a Valentine gift from my grandchildren,

And the daisies, which were a Valentine gift from my sweetheart. I LUV daisies. I’ve always said that was one reason my sweetheart married me. He knew that I was low maintenance, because he could buy daisies instead of a dozen roses, and I would be happy!

As you can see, this Valentine gift from my sweetheart contained some of my favorite things. Since this photo was taken, there is one less chocolate in the box. The almost empty box is a thing of beauty to me, because it means that this box will stop yelling my name (you’ve probably heard it at your house, ”LAURIE”..did you hear that?) It is the loudest box I’ve ever heard. Once that last piece of chocolate is gone, the yelling will stop, and the temptation will be gone (unless I go out and buy one of those deeply marked down boxes of Valentine’s candy, because they have been yelling my name when I’m at the store)!

I’VE BEEN INSPIRED (AGAIN!)

I’ve gone back to my bad habit of stealing inspiration photos from other blogs. Don’t blame me – blame these inspiring bloggers. Who can resist copying a photo for their inspiration file when there is so much beauty in Blogville.?

(I will not be offended if you do not want your photo on my blog. Please email me, and I will immediately remove it. If you allow me to use a photo from your blog, please feel free to post my thank you button [located on my sidebar] on your blog.)

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS (STOLEN FROM OTHER BLOGS) (Clicking on the photo will whisk you away to the victim’s blog):

Don’t forget the Valentine party on February 11th!

Thanks so much for coming by to see what I’ve stolen lately. Please go visit the links for Favorite Things. laurie
