This is their day, after all.

I have always been attracted to hearts and never joined the crowd that considers them trite, cute or over-used.

After all, they are the symbol of Love, and Love is the most powerful energy in the Universe. How can that be trite? You can never get too much!

I found these hearts in my CHA bag of treasures, and remembered that I wanted to tell you about them.

We had never seen the Opals embossing powders in person, and we were curious.

Everyone in the booth was bedecked in beautiful jewelry - shimmering pendants and donuts that seem to be made of stone - but they were all actually made of Opals.

There was quite the demonstration going on - complete with Aussie accents, so we hung around to watch.

One cookie cutter is set into a pool of melted Opals, Another smaller cutter of the same shape is set inside of it. This all happens on a non-stick craft sheet. When the melted powder has set, the cutters are removed and you have a solid and a frame version of the shape.

We haven’t tried it yet, but it looked really easy so it is definitely on the agenda. You can get the powders online at Linda’s website - where you will also enjoy a lot of the wonderful artwork of Zeborah Loray.

My sister (who is visiting me right now) says that once you get really tuned into love and how much of it there is in the world, you start seeing hearts everywhere - you find heart shaped rocks, driftwood, patterns in woodgrain - and on and on.

Start watching for hearts in your environment - even after Valentine’s day is over and all those heart covered cards are tucked away.
