Mr.Blue

I'm in love with a song right now called Mr. Blue.
We all know what it's like to have really down days so it inspired me to make a little something for people to smile.

 So I took in these rocks,
painted hearts on them,

and then brought them back outside.

I put them in places where they almost blend in,
so to spot them would be a lovely surprise.
 My favorite line of the song is, "Mr. Blue, don't hold your head so low that you can't see the sky"

Well I made sure to fill some cracks in the sidewalk with the rocks for people who feel so low they just can't look up.

So Mr. Blue, this one's for you.

    Amazing idea to paint rocks and spill them around.... Genuinely awesome. Also, thanks for introducing the song (I'm 100% positive I've heard it before and liked it back then, even though I can't simply recall when or where). Reminds me a little bit of Lena's songs... or of Crave You by Flight Facilities.

    When my son and wife and my two precious grandchildren(4 & 2)left Canada to return to Taiwan, they left pink hearts with a message of love all over my house, some hidden really well, others really obvious. It took me a long time to find them, but it always made my heart smile. These little rocks would also bring a sunburst of happiness especially since the hider is unknown. Makes one feel there is good, loving people in the world. Thanks, Katie, you have inspired others to share love of mankind(and womenkind!) Brenda in Canada

    Painted some Rocks today, I know how it is to be so down you don't want to look up, so I loved your idea of blessing anybody hurting out there. I also love the Idea of not knowing who you will give a smile.

    What a brilliant and thoughtful idea. I have just been given a rock painting kit and was googling ideas when I came across this blogpost. Now I plan to do this on Valentine's Day and leave the rocks around a park for children and dog-walkers to find. Thank you for the inspiration.

    I love the rocks, but even more I love how you placed them outside for others to find and enjoy!

  176. JenniferFebruary 14, 2013 at 1:08 AM

    We adapted this idea into Valentines for my third and fifth grade boys' classmates. The boys painted the rocks bright colors, added the little hearts and glitter, and wrote business-sized cards that say, "Valentine, you rock!" They loved making them and can't wait to give them out tomorrow.

    I still love the idea of painting rocks for folks to find outside, so I'm going to encourage the boys to take the extras outside to hide once the threat of snow passes.

    Another great option would be to deliver a basket of these to a nursing home. I think the residents would love the feel of the rocks and the bright colors. Even those who couldn't hold the rocks might find a reason to smile when they see them on their nightstand.

    Thanks for the great idea!
