Spreading A Little Love Around The House

I've been a painting fool for the past several days trying to finish my kitchen project (pics to be posted soon).  While I was slinging paint, I decided to paint a canvas for Valentine's Day.  I grabbed a 12"x12" canvas and started covering it with "bubblegum pink" and "plum gray" paint.  Things kinda went crazy after that.

You have to know how I paint to understand that statement.  I used acrylic paints for this and just squirted different colors onto the canvas.  Then I started mixing and spreading them.  The Hubs calls it "psycho painting" but I like it.  I did paint the heart a solid "plum gray" first but then "distressed" it with some brown, gold and white paint.

This is meant to be a background to something else.  What?  I don't know yet.  I went to my usual source of inspiration, Pinterest, for an idea but I'm still "blocked" for an idea to finish it.

But, while I was there, I saw this:

A cute, simple craft....I can do that.  I got some candy hearts from the dollar store and used them as a filler for a candle holder.  I also put some in the candy jar with the chalkboard lid that I made last Fall.

Have you ever smelled a freshly opened bag of candy hearts?  Do yourself a favor.  Run (don't walk) to the dollar store to get a bag, or three.  Open the bag, take a good whiff, then pour them into a closed canister to sniff later.

They smelled so good that I ate half of the bag before I took the pictures.  Ooops.  That's why the chalkboard jar is barely full.

I'm going to take some pictures of my kitchen project to post tomorrow.  I'm painting a backsplash and I can't decide what to do in one spot.  I need your opinions.  So check back with me tomorrow to give me your advice.  Pleeeease!!!!!!!
