The Weighing of the Heart

 

Our new theme at Allsorts this week is Anything Goes with the optional twist of "All about hearts". I've gone with the hearts theme. 

I have had this Bigz die for so long laying unused and finally got around to using it.  I saw an idea on Pinterest using a scale and hearts, but then had no suitable sentiment. The lovely Faith came up trumps with a few to chose from, and this is the one I have chosen for the OH valentine.

Inspired by many who pre prepare embellishments I took a Sue Wilson die and some other ones and cut out a lot of hearts from different shades of red card in my snippets box. I have lots left over!

I then went on to make some Galentine/Palentine versions. This die has gone from unused to overused lol!

After reading and reviewing a book with the title "The Weighing of the Heart" I became hooked on the phrase.

What is the weighing of the heart?

The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart recorded all of the good and bad deeds of a person's life, and was needed for judgment in the afterlife. After a person died, the heart was weighed against the feather of Maat (goddess of truth and justice).
