{{I choose you, with each sunrise and the breath of you, I choose you again.}}
Well now, aren't you a kind bunch!?!? Snatching up all those hearts so's you can spread the love in your little corners of the world. I'm thrilled to know you are excited about starting exchanges of your own. As little of a thing as this may seem, it is the stuff of life. The stuff of a life of art making. Really! To share something from the heart (no pun intended), however small, and to see inspiration and excitement spread like wildfire in far reaches, in quiet rooms, in heartspaces and in the thoughts of connection. I thank you for the gift of your sharing in this with me.
I'm up to my ears in tasks and to-do's for the weeks and months ahead. It's a steamroller of excitement which is requiring a lot of focus. I'm all about focus these days. But I've had a few kind souls email and request more hearts so I've decided that I will take orders for hearts until Noon PST on Monday, Feb 9th (day after tomorrow). If you would like to order a heart, email me and I will be happy to sculpt one up for you with love and gratitude. Keep in mind that the little silk pouches are random pickin's from my silk stash so you will need to be willing to be surprised by the pouch. If there is a color which you absolutely DON'T like, I'm happy to take that into consideration if you make note of it in my email. I will do white hearts with whatever short message you want. Just let me know of you sentiment and I'll confirm your order and send you a paypal request for funds Monday night. I will ship them all out Tuesday morning in time for Valentine's day delivery (according to the P.O. Most of the hearts I have shipped have arrived with in two days of sending so you might get it even sooner).
Anyway, I'm rambling. I do that sometimes when I'm tired. :)
Thank you again. A million times over.

Sharing the love with tokens brings back a sweet memory. Many years ago after being newly married and subsequently expecting a child, my husband & I started a similar exchange. It was just a card which was simply signed "I love you" that we would leave for each other in unusual places - car, next to the coffee, pillow. Before our son was born, my husband was tragically lost in an accident. Now, our son has sons of his own. I still have that "I love you" card. It is one of my most prized possessions.
Thank you, Stephanie, for promoting the wonderful idea of exchanging love tokens!
