so my crafty pal leslie rahye organized a fun blog hop for the heart day with a steampunk theme. i'm not much for the "hallmark holidays" but i do enjoy steampunk, it was the perfect theme for me. for my valentine, i decided to write a racy (or shall i say steamy?) little limerick from the era, and i posted it in a mini board book that i painted and stamped with distress inks, then embellished with various steampunkish doodads.

a corseted woman named belle

had yearnings for living quite well.

her lovers were heroes,

but their finances zeroes...

she lived in her own kind of hell.

with anachronistic disparity,

a time machine showed her some charity.

she traveled back years,

despite all her fears,

to seek out a man of prosperity.

a leader of this very nation

she met with considerable elation.

her body did shiver,

his lips felt a quiver,

and thus began their fornication.

his gears (and her engine) ran clean,

their faces resplendent with sheen.

a charming romance

was born from their dance...

his fortune (and heart) she did glean.

now for my giveaway...i have a lovely selection of goodies, courtesy of my friends at fiskars! a pair of scissors, a fingertip blade, and a pretty bird punch...this prize package could be yours! leave a comment here to enter to win, i'll draw a name on monday night 2/13. good luck!
