3 Ways to Support Each Other

I went for a walk with my in-laws, husband and family at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary here in Naples, Florida a few days ago.  I really enjoy walking along the boardwalk to see the wildlife and nature.  It's very peaceful and a great way to spend some quality time with my family.  Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary occupies approximately 13,000 acres in the heart of the Corkscrew Watershed in Southwest Florida, part of the Western Everglades.  They routinely change art work inside the visiting center and this month they had a unique artist named Olivia Bouler.  She started drawing and painting when she was 11 years old.  She wanted to help support the Audubon society and asked if she could contribute her artwork to help raise money.  
The first thing I noticed about this bird was the upside down hearts. <3

What a great way to share her talents and help raise money to support her love of Nature.

This month's Heartbeat Magazine February Edition is out.  Here is the latest Cover.  Enjoy!


3 Ways to Support Each Other...
1.  Go for a walk with your family this will help support family bonding time.
2.  Create something that could be useful to support an organization you love.
3.  Snap some photos of your sisters or brothers embracing each other.  You can look back on it and remember the sweet hug and cherish the moment!

Please leave me a comment and share how you support each other!  If you participate in Wordless Wednesday than linkup.  Check out this months giveaway, a beautiful designer Heart necklace from Sassy Lemonade.  

PS.  I will be participating in my fourth co-hosted Bloghop with Katie from Dysfuntion Junction.  Please stop back by tomorrow to join us and linkup! :-)

Sassy Lemonade Heart Necklace Giveaway



Giveaway: Love you Today, Tomorrow, & Forever Necklace


Silver Metal Heart w/ Red Rhinestones
Silver Metal Chain 18 inches
Lobster Clasp


a Rafflecopter giveaway
One day I was browsing Tori Spellings' Instagram account and a comment from Sassy Lemonade caught my eye.  I clicked onto her account and saw her fabulous jewelry and began learning more about her.  This is where my friendship with Shannon Flowers began.  February is her birthday month and what a delight to have her as our featured artist of the month!  She also is providing an absolutely adorable Heart Necklace Giveaway to the Heartbeat Magazine Readers.  Be sure to enter at the end of this post!



1. What inspired you to become a jewelry designer? 
I would make jewelry when I needed a little something extra to wear or give as gifts. They seemed to always be a hit, so I figured why not try selling to see where that road leads too. I feel very blessed to be able to do what I love. I might be a little obsessed with making jewelry...
you’ll find me putting something together every free chance I get!

2. How did you choose your company name?
I wanted a name that reflected more like my Personality, Sassy & Sweet.

3. What’s your favorite jewelry to design? 
I love mixing necklaces up by layering chains and ribbons, then adding fun and sassy charms.

4. What are the most popular items in your shop?   
Side Anchor Necklaces were one of the first items I started selling and have been popular ever since.

I love my Olloclip, 3-in-one photo lens, what's your favorite gadget? WW entry

My husband brought me home a gift for Valentine's Day.  We love gadgets and I've always wanted an olloclip but never got around to buying one!  He works at Best Buy, technology mecca of the world, lol, so he surprised me with this beautiful piece of equipment.  Do you have a favorite gadget or gizmo?  I am just getting used to taking pictures with it.  The Macro view is my favorite.  
Macro view of rain drops on our new Hibiscus petals.
Macro view of our Poinsettia's in bloom.
Macro view of raindrops on the Hibiscus flower.
Wide Angle of the lovely orange sunset.  
Macro view of my daughters eye, pretty dreamy to me :-)
Fisheye of my kids racing down our driveway, see me in the shadow taking the picture! 
The package claims that it is a quick-change camera lens.  In my opinion since it's so small, I've been handling it with care and making sure I'm not too quick!  I also have to take my case off my phone to put it on properly.  Otherwise, I am super blessed to have such a thoughtful husband and thankful to be having an awesome time using my new gadget!

Please leave me a comment and if you participate in Wordless Wednesday than linkup.  Tomorrow is the last day to enter the giveaway, a beautiful custom designed tote bag from Dolly Mack Designs.  

PS.  I will be participating in my third co-hosted Bloghop with Katie from Dysfuntion Junction.  Please stop back by tomorrow to join us and linkup! :-)

Do you ever have a case of the I wants? WW entry

Have you ever made a list of what you want?  I take pictures all the time of what I want.  Then I look back at them for inspiration and hopefully I've gotten a few!  I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day.  I hope you have a sweet one!
See the flowers in the back of that truck!  I want some of those.
I want this cake for Valentine's Day!

Started walking today, I want to burn off some of the granola cookies I ate!
These are my results for today.  I want to increase my miles to at least 3 a day.
These are my two newest apps I downloaded.  I want to learn how to use them better.  

I want to create more boards with the new Inspirational Board app.



Please leave me a comment.  Only a few more days left to enter the giveaway, a beautiful custom designed tote bag from Dolly Mack Designs.  

PS.  Tomorrow I will be participating in my second co-hosted Bloghop with Katie from Dysfuntion Junction.  Please stop back by tomorrow to join us and linkup! :-)
