HERE'S MY HEARTS

I'm sure you all saw the articles about Dr. Ron Lehocky in the Polymer Cafe magazine this month.

He was also featured on Polymer Clay Daily.  Dr. Lehocky makes the most beautiful hearts that he sells to support the continuing education for the therapists that support "The Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies".

I contacted Ron about getting some of his hearts and to find out where I could send some polymer clay canes for him to use on his hearts.

I went through all my canes and filled a box full for him.  I also had a big container full of pin backs so I threw a bunch of those in too.  I had canes from a Jana Roberts Benson class I took and one from a Sarah Shriver class I took.  I love making flower canes so I sent him one that I made that I really liked.

When I got my hearts from him, he made one with this cane.  Hard to believe they are the same one.

If you click on the picture you see them up close.  The heart on the top right was made with the cane in the above picture.  He explains how to make that in his article in Polymer Cafe.  The blue one is also from the box of canes I sent him.  I was going to give them as gifts but I think I'm keeping them all for me.  LOL  Aren't they beautiful.  You can go to this website to get more information about kids and the organization http://kidscenterky.org/ .

POOR BUSTER

My baby kitten had to have surgery.  Last Friday they took 20 jagged stones out of his bladder and urethra.  He's not feeling good.  It breaks my heart to see him like this.  His bladder is very swollen and he's hurting.  Say a little prayer for him, he's my best buddy.

Hope you all have a very Happy New Year.

THE 15,000 VISITOR GIVEAWAY

Last weekend my blog received it's 15,000th visitor so I decided to do a giveaway to celebrate.

Since Monday is Valentine's Day, I'm giving away my heart (s).

I'm going to give away two sets of heart jewelry and some extra hearts.

All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog by this posting and tell me what you would really like for Valentine's Day.  Funny or not, I would love to know.

Next Sunday (the 20th) morning I'm going to have my sweetheart pick a number or name from the list of people who leave comments and I'll post the winners. You can leave as many posts as you want.  I'll put your name in the drawing as many times as you leave posts.

Here is the first giveaway:

The necklace and earrings were done with pearl clay on black clay using the Sutton Slice technique.  The earrings are on sterling silver ear wires and the necklace is on a slightly antiqued type of metal with my favorite toggle.  The other two hearts have no attachments so you can make what ever you want out of them.  If you click on the picture you can see them all closer.

This will be the gift for the second name drawn.  The heart is about 2 inches long and is hanging on a gold plated chain with my favorite toggle.  The small red and silver heart on the top has a bail on it and it was done using the Tina Holden Batik Shimmer method.  The other heart is silver and has a slight touch of rose to it.  It does not have a bail or any attachments.  All items in this give away have been done with Magic Glos and that's why they are so shiny.

Will be looking forward to all your comments and responses.  Thank you for visiting my blog and taking time to comment and I wish you all could win.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
