Its amazing how quickly time flies, right? I cannot believe that we are in February now and that Valentines Day is next week! Eeek! I am truly happy though that we are in a new year especially since I ended 2012 on a very bad note. Sadly, my beloved friend of 12 years passed in November, the day before my birthday! It was by far the most painful experience I have ever lived and there is not one day that I don't think about him. After experiencing this, I realized that your soul-mate does not have to be a human being like your significant other but simply a true and loyal friend. Baby, my beloved mix terrier, connected with me in a way that I cannot explain and his passing shattered my world. These past few months without him have been really hard but I feel his presence with me all the time and I do know that he is in a better place. It also helps that I welcomed a new member into my family! Maki, a beautiful little pooch, has come into my life to make it so much better. Somehow I feel that she knows that my heart aches because she is one of the most lovable dogs I have ever met! She was born ten days before Baby died and the crazy part is that she resembles him...maybe its just me but her piercing eyes tell me he is there.

Maki has inspired me with so much love that I found it to be appropriate to post something for Valentines! This is still a pretty slow face painting season for me but I love to practice at home and ask my sister to be my canvas, I mean model :) As you can see, there is nothing better than to paint hearts and more hearts! I seriously love it! Hope you like the pictures below and that you enjoy this season of love, which includes EVERY single member of your family even those little furry beautiful creatures we cannot live without! XOXOXO
