I had a jar of paper hearts at our market stall on sunday.. and my happiest moment was when a little girl took a heart and drew a pretty face on it..and kissed it when we were taking a photo!

thanks to Matt for the photos :)

"where is your heart?"

placed this heart on the metal fence surrounding a school swimming pool.. it looked kind of empty and lonely without anyone in it.

a message in the post

2010-07-07T06:16:00.000-07:00

"this heart is for you"

this heart is for the postie that delivers all our personal letters, little packages and wonderful surprises in the mail - this is for you :)

"love watching life go by"

this little heart was stationed on the walking path up hale road..there were so many cars whooshing past that missed out on the beauty of the surroundings!

come on, love

2010-06-22T07:25:00.000-07:00

i love making road signs a little more interesting! i wonder if any of the cars passing by will notice :)

"hello there! hope you have a wonderful day"

"hello world!"

today was pretty wet and grey, so i tried to leave my hearts around dry places that people might run into. the first is a bus shelter on hale road, the second on bus 401 at 8am.

i like how the pink heart is peering out the window..

hearts from italy

2010-06-11T21:13:00.000-07:00

the very first submission to paper hearts is from Eli, thank you :)

for a guaranteed smile, read this: "Today my boyfriend and I went to a children's playground armed with lots of paper hearts, with the words LOVE and AMORE written on them. We stuck them all over the toys (slides, swings and twirly things) and then waited until 4pm when school finishes.

The park was full of kids, about 50 of them. We waited and watched, until all the hearts were found. Most children ran to their mothers and gave the hearts to them for safe keeping. Other children just looked at them, but were to timid to pick them up. One kid went on a 'hunt' and ended up with most of the hearts."

...told you you would smile! i can just imagine all the kids getting so excited :)

Eli is currently in Italy, and runs a pretty spiffy blog called eli and toggle with lots of camera links and tips (polaroids & film) and other general nice things!

what a difference

2010-06-11T20:59:00.000-07:00

a little heart makes on a drain :)

a day in the park

2010-06-10T06:20:00.000-07:00

meant putting hearts in trees, posting a message on someone's letterbox, placing a heart on a bridge, and hiding one in a nest i found!

a line of hearts

2010-06-08T04:57:00.000-07:00

i dotted the path along the lake with colourful hearts - i hope it cheered up the cyclists, joggers, walkers, doggies and ducks along their way!

day 1

2010-06-07T00:06:00.000-07:00

welcome! paper hearts project started on a sunday afternoon with lots of coloured paper, blutack and a camera. inspired by the ever creative and cheerful katie sokoler from color me katie, the idea is just to spread a bit of love around the world.

maybe someone will walk past the hearts and smile, maybe they'll even pick one up and take it home. if you like the idea of this, send in images of your paper hearts to paperheartsproject(at)gmail.com (under 1mb) and i'll post them up!

thanks for reading :)
