Healthy Conversation Hearts Harvest Is Finished!

These are the last of the healthy conversational fruits and vegetables this week that have been a play on conversation heart candy. They all have been created using graphite and colored pencil, the camera does not flatter them very much. It has been fun! The candies have not been screaming as loudly (thank goodness) but a pastry tried to pick me up at the grocery store today but I ran quickly away!

Apollo will post late for Dogs On Thursday and hopefully Friday I will have another heart post if time permits. Preparing this week for a two-day volleyball tournament and we will be leaving Friday since VolleyGirl must be at the gym by 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Later.....

Opening My Heart To You.....

I want to have some fun with quick draws of various heart shapes this week leading up to Cupid's Holiday this coming weekend. Allow me to share as to how these pop into my mind. Shocker! I struggle to stick to healthy eating and am cursed by an addiction to sugar! For better health and enhanced beauty (rolling on floor with laughter at that one!) I still want to lose pounds. SuperSpouse (Mr. Artist Unplugged) enjoys those conversational hearts candy during this time of year and buys them frequently. Naturally, all my mind can go to is that sweet, heart-shaped drug lying in the bright pink and red bags screaming my name! Ok, THAT sounded a bit extreme but uh, they do. Last time I ate them without even reading the cute quips printed on them! Oh, doom- what have I come to? I have resisted their little whimsical talking heart- shaped bodies so far for several days. However, in my head there is a big screen running pictures of "forbidden foods" with a big, red slash through them and then pictures of what I should eat instead. So...............just what would some of those "friendly" foods look like if you were to mold them into those tasty, sweet conversation hearts???? I hope to post one or two each day until Friday..........then it's off to a 2-day volleyball tournament this weekend!
