The Honey Bee makes Cute Valentine Cards

4 Jan

Valentines Day isn’t just about love, it’s about cuteness. Valentine Cards are usually romantic, for someone you love; or just cute, for friends.

Either way, when I started making the honey bee design, I was initially thinking about the honey comb. I wanted a background of the honey comb shape. The bee and the flower came about later; as did the thought of making the honey comb, a honey color.

I went out to my kitchen and found a bottle of honey, and made a translucent shade of True Ochre, a perfect match. I made the background first, working forward to the honey bee. They were all fun to create.

I work in association with Zazzle, an online Print on Demand Company, and made this design available on cards and stamps. Each product can be customized with your own text. It is available above as a Valentine Card, and is also available as a Marriage Proposal Card, and postage stamps.

May you have a fun and wonderful Valentines Day.

Appreciation Hour

22 Apr

What started out as an Affirmation Prayer Group has now become an Appreciation Hour. I think that was my original intent anyway. To feel appreciative, to be thankful, to have and increase, encourage good vibrations.

So we have done away with the asking part, not that anyone shouldn’t ask, but that part I’m leaving up to the individuals as to how, what, and when they ask. That’s all up to them.

What I like is the sharing, the creating, of something good. Either something we already have and/or something good that is yet to come. But in any case, it’s good. And that’s what I’m about creating more of.

So an Appreciation Hour actually suits the bill just fine.

For today’s Appreciation Hour, we drew in a circle the things we already have that we are greatful for, that we appreciate.

We then drew things we would like to have come into our lives.

We also drew the things that we wanted to release from our lives, and then ripped that part up and threw it away in the trash can.

We then finished on a positive note and wrote under the things that we already have and appreciate, their meaning to us.

Note that everyone did their own individual sheet and we also shared.

It was fun, it was light, we had fun.

We experienced appreciation.

Blessings

Friendly bumper stickers

19 Mar

It’s nice being reminded of the good that is around. For instance, sitting in traffic and reading a friendly bumper sticker on the car in front of you, finding a dollar that someone left just for someone else to find from those that have been inspired by Give Away A Dollar A Day, finding out that the person ahead of you had already paid the cashier $5.00 towards your purchase; the list goes on. There is a lot of good in our world.

One of the many ways that I’ve decided to participate in this positive wave of goodness is by making and designing some of the feel good bumper stickers. May you be blessed with finding feel goods throughout your day.

Blessings.

Affirmation Prayer Group

17 Mar

Approximately six weeks ago I started an Affirmation Prayer Group. I had wanted to have a group that is positive. We meet weekly. We come together and share the things we are thankful for, and then in thanksgiving we give thanks to God for what we desire. Today, we noticed that we had a lot less to ask for than when we first started.
