Cameron and I made these hearts 10 years ago. Emma was a newborn (napping in her cradle) and Renee was not yet 3 (playing nearby). We melted colored, beeswax shavings between two sheets of wax paper. Using heart shaped cookie cutters, we traced the shapes on the wax paper, then cut them out. They hung in the kitchen window of our first home. Yesterday, Renee hung them over the kitchen table. Every year I see them, I am reminded of the cold, beautiful, winter day they were made.
