Follow Your Heart

Mar 29, 2012 By Layla

Dear Stef, TamiK, OsageGypsy, HelloHahaNarf, and CottageByTheSea,

You said you liked my wonky “O”, so I thought I’d skooch it back down to where I found it resting the other day…

What do you think? Hot glue to the rescue, or wonky wins?

    I absolutely think it should be wonky! Seriously, I thought it was intentional the other day. But honestly, I like either way. I haven’t seen you do anything wrong:)

    Wonky wins….for sure!

    I love the wonky O! It like the expression: following your heart doesn’t always lead down the expected path!

    No help here…I love it either way!

    I would make the “O” in No wonky 🙂

    I like it wonky! :.)

    I like the O wonky – draws your eye in more!

    Yay for the wonky O. I liked it the other day too, but didn’t say it.
    LOVE it! 🙂

    Wonky all the way 🙂

    Wonky all the way!!! It reminds me of something I say a lot…. My ducks ARE in a row, it just doesn’t happen to be a straight one!!! I love things a little off-center…..

    I liked it wonky but when you fixed it I didn’t comment. But since others did I give my opinion now. I think the wonky “o” relates to finding your own path since it’s finding its own path on the board!!

    :o)

    Just “follow your heart”! You know the wonky o wins!

  14. Laura

    Wonky… wonky… wonky… Word has lost all meaning! (Little spin on a “Friends” quote!) I must say wonky wins for me!

  15. Melissa

    Mar 30, 2012 at 6:28 pm

    Wonky definitely! Quirky is good.

  16. Joanne B.

    Mar 30, 2012 at 6:29 pm

    WoNKY’s the only way to go!

  17. Nightowl_72

    I like it wonky. Imperfect like the rest of us! But you should follow your heart!!!

  18. liz

    Mar 30, 2012 at 6:40 pm

    Funny, I really liked the “O” in it’s hanging style…it suits the phrase so well…no need to stay in a line when you’re following your heart! But, follow YOUR heart and place it the way you like!

  19. Liz

    Mar 30, 2012 at 6:41 pm

    Definately wonky

  20. Joy Schneider

    Mar 30, 2012 at 7:09 pm

    My vote is for wonky. It seems more meaningful with your quote and looks cute to boot.

  21. Amy

    Mar 30, 2012 at 7:22 pm

    Wonky! It goes with the saying – the “O” follows no set path. It brings your eye to the words of the sign, not just the sign.

  22. Jennifer

    Mar 30, 2012 at 7:37 pm

    Wonky wins!!!

  23. Mary

    Mar 30, 2012 at 7:52 pm

    I like it both ways!

  24. Julie

    Mar 30, 2012 at 7:57 pm

    Wonky for sure!!! It goes so well with “follow your heart”. Our hearts don’t always take us on the road followed most often. Different is good.
    Happy weekend!

    I, too, thought it was meant to be wonky. It make sense to me.

  26. Sylvia

    Mar 30, 2012 at 8:05 pm

    It made sense. Wow, long week.

  27. Nana

    Mar 30, 2012 at 8:23 pm

    Me, too. Thought the original “wonky” O was intentionally brilliant!

  28. Kathy H

    Mar 30, 2012 at 9:17 pm

    Wonky def wins for me!! It is uniquely yours and makes people think. Just like it’s supposed to be!! Be blessed, Kathy

  29. Sarah @ Cozy.Cottage.Cute.

    Loving the wonky O. Sometimes O’s just want to live on the wild side…… 😉

  30. Sylvie

    Mar 30, 2012 at 9:47 pm

    Ah! Get that O back up where it belongs! Its making my OCD itch!! 😉 Super cute sign, I love it!

  31. Vicki V

    Mar 30, 2012 at 10:13 pm

    I like the wonky “O” better. Looks casual: less contrived.

  32. Avey

    Mar 31, 2012 at 12:49 am

    Wonky for sure! I love it that way and was disappointed that you “fixed” it. It’s just darling and so you!

  33. Cindy Chapman

    Mar 31, 2012 at 6:18 am

    Straight, please.

  34. Suzanne

    Mar 31, 2012 at 6:58 am

    Do exactly what the sign says Layla…follow YOUR heart. X

  35. Val

    Mar 31, 2012 at 7:02 am

    Definitely leave it wonky!

  36. Melanie

    Mar 31, 2012 at 7:27 am

    I’m a wonky “O” type personality 🙂

  37. Christa @ BrownSugarToast

    Mar 31, 2012 at 8:59 am

    So…I think you should use sticky tack. And then whenever you have an off day, you can move it to the wonky position. bahaha! And that way Kevin will know whether or not to bring up a controversial subject with you – he’ll just check out the “O.” 😉 lol!

  38. Katy

    Mar 31, 2012 at 11:52 am

    Wonkers, for sure!

  39. laura

    Mar 31, 2012 at 12:16 pm

    Layla…leave it as is…wonkers are we!

  40. Angie Repetti

    Mar 31, 2012 at 12:18 pm

    I vote for wonky…..shows flexibility on that path…;-)

  41. Melissa R

    Mar 31, 2012 at 3:15 pm

    The O is following it’s own path. It’s an amazing coincidence given the message. Don’t mess with it or you are not “following” the path, you are trying to control it.

  42. Allyson

    Mar 31, 2012 at 5:43 pm

    It’s kinda perfect in its imperfection. Wonky for me!

  43. Lisa

    Mar 31, 2012 at 11:06 pm

    I say keep it wonky!

  44. Paula Farrington

    Apr 1, 2012 at 1:01 pm

    Utterly charming and so powerful with the wonderfully wonky “O” leading with its “heart” and following it’s own path—love it just the way it is—a brilliant accidental design!

  45. Valerie

    Apr 1, 2012 at 6:26 pm

    I thought it was intentional as well when I first saw the “before” picture, and I really like the idea…although after seeing it back “correctly,” I can see why some prefer it straight. How about “mis-aligning” a few other letters or even a different word to make it seem more intentional. Just an idea! (But yay for a first-time commenter, right?!)

  46. Heather

    Apr 1, 2012 at 10:24 pm

    Wonky for me!

  47. Cottage By The Sea

    Nobody’s heart follows a straight path. (Oh, that it did.) I Love the irony of your wonky O. I think it states the most creative and whimsical manner, that the way to love is never perfectly straight. Perhaps that’s the fun in it!
    Your O is eye catching and unexpected and “O” I just love it!

  48. Deborah

    Apr 2, 2012 at 12:04 pm

    I’m all for the wonky “O”. Color outside the lines, be crazy, life is just to short to be prim and proper all of the time, don’t you think?

  49. LynnR

    Apr 2, 2012 at 6:36 pm

    WONKY WINS for me!!

  50. Deb

    Apr 3, 2012 at 10:27 am

    Wonky! I was surprised to see it all straightened out after the paint 🙂
