The Year of the Fire Horse

 

I think it's interesting depending on what side of the globe you live in the different holidays you will celebrate. Today Chinese New Year enters the Year of the Fire Horse. While I take notice from time- to -time what animal year we're in, I couldn't help but want to know more about the Year of the Fire Horse. Sounds so dramatic!  

It is said to be a mix of passion, momentum and fearless exploration.

Yes, yes, and YES!

May we each feel a little more of each as we unbridle our inner Fire Horse! 🧧🐴🔥 

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope your love doesn't go extinct! ☄️ 🌋 This is a cut paper dinosaur and Valentine theme mashup that I made a couple years ago & licensed to Design House Greetings for greeting cards.  

 

 

The above two images show the cut paper work I created. The one below is the final file, cleaned up with layers and ready to sweeten someone's day. ♥️ 🦖

Say Yes to FUN!

 I aspire to have more fun. Last night's Super Bowl halftime was the most joyous kind of FUN!

 I never knew how much I loved dancing bushes!

Spread Love ♥️

It is February, time to spread some love! I recently found The Cupid Project, an annual volunteer-driven, non-profit that delivers handmade Valentine’s Day cards to nursing home residents. I thought this was super sweet & wanted to join in. For the last couple weeks, I’ve been cutting out a simple heart shape, grabbing markers and doodling lovey-dovey messages while I watch shows in the evening. It is simple, fun and will hopefully make someone’s Valentine’s Day a bit brighter. Visit The Cupid Project if you’d like to join in too!  

You can keep it easy by limiting your supplies. Here's what I used.

This is my final assortment for now....

I'm sharing a few of my favorites here.

I like Valentine's Day, it's a good opportunity to let someone know you care. To me it is not just about love, but kindness towards others. Even ones you don't know.
