Heart from Ragamuffin Gal/Katie ~ OWOH

This is another gift from the One World ~ One Heart Giveaway Event. Katie from the Blog entitled Ragamuffin Gal made this Beautiful Personalized Heart Shaped Plaque for me. I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE it and only wish that you could see it in person. My pictures just don't capture it's beauty or all the details. I love everything about this design ~ the heart shape, the ribbons, the glitter, the vintage girl and the pink/green color combo. Isn't the little girl holding the heart so aorable and there is even a love charm hanging from the wire.

Katie even painted the back of the heart ~ a pretty pink.

I've placed this precious Heart next to my Computer so that I can enjoy it everyday!

Here is another close-up shot of my Lovely Heart! Thank you so much Katie!! I will always treasure this Fabulous Gift ~ you've made me very "hoppy".

Please don't forget to check out Katie's Blog ~ she has posted some cute Collages under "life-isms" and I LOVE her Gorgeous Blog Banner. A couple of my favs are "when life hands you lemons ~ go buy a purse" and "the fear of imperfection has prevented many creative adventures from ever beginning". To see her Collages on her Blog ~ hop right here.

~ Only 8 Days until Easter!! ~

Lauren tried out for the 12U Lady Hurricanes Basketball Team and she's so thrilled that she made the Team. So, now we're really busy with 2 hour practices three times a week and Games all over the State on the weekends. She's only 11 years old and is 5'3" (same height as me) ~ yet surprisingly she's the shortest one on the team and also the youngest. The practices are so intense and quite grueling ~ surprisingly she loved every minute of it and the two hours flew by for her. It's no secret that she doesn't take after me ~ I wouldn't have lasted 15 minutes (even when I was 11). I'm a nervous wreck watching her at Basketball Practice ~ how am I going to survive watching her play a whole Game?
