"A cheerful expression brings JOY to the heart." Biblically based children's books for kids and free-hand painted art to encourage, empower, and equip little (& Big) hearts to know God's love and fullness of joy. Through Happy Heart™ books and/or art, my desire and passion i

s that children (and families) will be able to grasp the love God has for them; so they may live in the freedom of His love and joy. When I'm not writing, I revive worn out, found and unused items…and make them into something new and refreshing for others to enjoy - a reminder that there is always hope in God's redeeming love. "In Him our hearts find joy." Psalm 33:21

The Creator of ALL things has filled me with joy of the love of Jesus Christ...and my heart is to have that overflow into Happy Heart™. Thank you for taking this journey with us to bring joy & fun to your family.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" - Isaiah 43:18-19

Nest always remind me of the newness of life that we have in Christ Jesus.🙌 As I reflect this week on how thankful I am of the love of Jesus Christ to lay down his life for mine.✝️ He loved me (ALL of us) so much that he paid it all at a place called Golgotha (a real place documented in history) so I (we) can live free in him. Free from a life of muck and mire that only he is able to pull us out of. His love broke the chains of sin to give us wings to take flight. He took a broken life (a lost little girl) and made me whole and continues to show me (and will show you) the way to go every single day. I am grateful He did not leave me alone, but loved me through other Christian souls. Each day has hope now, hope in Him, hope I am not alone to figure life out, hope because life never ends with a heart that receives the gift of life in Jesus. ❤️

"Even the smallest nest can hold the biggest dreams." — Unknown

I find so much joy in the details of a bird nest. Nests truly are magical architecture structures. I love all the fun things that birds find to weave their magnificent homes together - twigs, strings, mulch, fabric, lint, and hair. I hope these original pieces touch your heart like they do mine!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! 💗

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." — Helen Keller

Go forward today with a heart full of joy knowing you are loved beyond measure!

"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:17-19
