Happy Valentine's Day / Cactus Monday

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Cactus Monday!
Tomorrow is the school project and I am ready. 
I have designed 8 mandalas and made coloring pages of them. Tomorrow I will see which design is most popular.Will show you pictures and results later.
I haven't been blogging a lot because of all the preparations. After tomorrow I hope to have more time again. But life seems to be busy no matter what ;)
I have to make 3 mandalas for 3 new citizens of the world. Next week I will have an exam for work and will start flying again. Well what's new..... 
But I am happy to feel healthy and that I  have picked up all my activities again. 

Hope  you enjoyed this special day. I did. I got cards from my dear friends. 
My son Lars invited his girlfriend for a home cooked meal so my DH , Felix and I were forced to eat out :)
I feel blessed and I hope you feel the same way.
 I know these special days aren't the same for everyone but I hope that in some way you all feel loved and blessed. 
If you read this know that you are special to me ♥. 

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Cactus Monday!

    That cactus is magical. Full of love and light!

    I got a special handpainted valentine from far away and I'll always treasure it♥

    And today my Big Monkey sent me a fun greeting!! Oh that made me laugh!

    I'm so proud of you for all the work you did for tomorrow's class. I know Felix will say "That's my mom!" I can't wait to hear about it.

    And I'm so happy you're feeling good again. Hurray!!

    Maybe we'll talk soon.

    Love,
    Lo♥

    I found a crochet pattern for a heart shaped cactus and I almost made it for Valentine's Day and then I ran out of time. I didn't even know there was a Cactus Monday - is that your meme or is there really such a day? I love Cacti and succulents.

    Happy ♥ Day Marianne!
    I am glad yours is special.
    DH brought home goodies his students gave him and I am sure we will eat it all and then be very very sorry we did. LOL
    So glad to learn you are well again and able to fly.
    Your son will love what you are doing in his class and so will his fellow students.
    The teacher will invite you back.
    Lovely heart cactus!!! HCM.
    Hugs from me who feels the love circling the globe.
