It’s been a while so I wanted to say hello! I’m on a new journey so I haven’t been posting much on my blog. But I can’t wait to share the products I’ll soon have available for a fundraiser to help animals. Please say hello back! Since blogging can require regular posting to stay connected with others, it would be nice to see who is still out there. I hope you’re all doing well.
Wishing you and your pets a safe Halloween!
Be sure to keep a close eye on your pets.
Hello everyone! I have been MIA once again from blogging. As I’ve mentioned before you can’t force a post. So when I don’t have anything to say, I choose to stay silent rather than trying to jibber jabber on about something that I’m not really feeling.
I have been spending time creating some more designs for my new product line. Honestly, I have so many ideas I could spend all my days designing & creating. I wish I could, but with a full time job that’ not going to happen right now.
Anyway, the graphic I am sharing in this post was an idea from today, and so I sat down and made it right away while it was fresh in my mind. I always enjoy seeing how a picture I have in my head will turn out when I try to create it.
This graphic suits me so well…I am definitely the purple fish in a lot of ways! Especially when it comes to animals. The world views animals as “less” than us humans and here for our use however we please. What we are taught, grow up with, and see most of the world doing becomes our “normal.” Then there is so much other “stuff” going on in the world that so many of us just sit and complain about. But the thing is we can choose to do something about it. Instead of just going with the flow and accepting it, we can choose to go against it. We can be the ones to make a difference!
I hope you get some encouragement from this post. Now for an update on my products. A few smaller items such as car coasters, buttons, and air fresheners have been made. The person I am working with debuted my items this weekend at a craft show. I have also showed and sold some items to family, friends, and co-workers. But there are still some details to work out before I can offer them to you all. I also may wait until we have more designs and products available before offering them online. I hope you’ll continue to stay tuned while I figure all of this out.
Take care!
Question: How do you see yourself? One who goes with the flow? Or one who goes against it?
I took another try at drawing someone’s pet. Meet Taki!🐾 That pose is priceless! Help me caption this please. Leave a comment with your idea. Thank you!😊🐾
Hello all! Earlier this summer, I posted that I was working on some of my graphics that will be available on some products/items. Now that we’re nearing the end of summer, I wanted to update you. Production will begin soon and I will be sharing a link with you that will show the available items. This will be a fundraiser for animals. When the fundraiser is ready to launch I will share all of the details with you. Please stay tuned!
I really have been enjoying tapping into a creative/artsy side I didn’t even know I had. Something else I have been trying out is drawing people’s pets. My latest is my nephew’s cat, Oliver.
Oh my, oh my…is it just me or are cover photos a royal pain?!
I wanted to change the cover photo on my business Facebook Page because I felt the graphic was outdated. This task turned out to be a nightmare. First, you have to figure out what size to create the graphic as, then you have to know the best way to save the graphic so it doesn’t loose quality when uploaded, then you have to adjust it to fit in the space allotted. Viola! Not so much. You look at it on a desktop and it looks good, then you look at it on a mobile phone and the profile picture circle is covering part of the design on one side and showing more blank space on the right. Back to the drawing board! Blah, blah, blah. Please tell me it’s not just me.
So I finally got it to where it’s satisfactory but if any of you have any tips, please share. Also, if you want me to share some of the things I learned, let me know.
Since I was on a mission to get the new cover photo on Facebook I decided to create a similar graphic for the header/banner on my blog. The other banner had animals that were created by someone else and as cute as they are, it is important to me to have animals on there that were created my moi.

Hello all. I hope you and your furry ones are doing well!
I am excited to share that this summer I will have some new graphics that will be available on a variety of products for sale. Any money earned will not be for me. I am doing this to raise money for animals in need. Please stay tuned, keep checking back, and please consider purchasing something for yourself or an animal lover in your life.
Hello all. I hope you have had a good week! As you know, I get ideas for a post on things that happen in my own life (conversations, events, things I read, things I experience, etc.) This past week someone was talking to me about their pet and they used that three letter word “own.” I hate that word when people are talking about their pets. They may be “our” pet but we do not own them. We adopted them and brought them into our family. Do we consider our children something we own because they are ours? When we marry do we now “own” each other?
We do not own anything that has breath. What we have done is made a commitment. A commitment to care for, be there for, and be faithful to whether it be a partner, a baby we adopted, or an animal we brought into our home.
This is a serious topic, for me very serious. I literally cringe when someone uses the word “own.” My mission and logo is to “Change how the world views animals.” But I thought I would throw a little fun into this post. Who has seen “The First Wives Club?” Whether you have or not you may know the iconic song “You Don’t Own Me.” I challenge you to listen to the words when you play the video and to think of animals instead of a man. When you do you’ll see how this can be somewhat fitting to animals as well.
Today is World Mental Health Day. With everything going on in the world, research is showing there is a lot more mental health issues than ever.
If you have a pet you know they can be a great antidepressant.
Here is what the Mental Health Foundation says…
Caring for a pet can help our mental health in many ways, including:
I would love to hear about a pet in your life (past or present) and how they help(ed) your mental health.
Take care!
Happy Sunday!
I am trying some new things. Today I wrote a post in a newsletter/document sort of way. Just click the image to open it up. 🙂
