Artists For Peace and Free Shipping Offer on Crated

Hello Creative People!

I do hope the New Year is treating you very well thus far. I came across a post on the https://artists4peace.wordpress.com/ blog and felt inspired to tie it in with my own post today.

If you feel your beliefs are in alignment with their blog, be sure and jump in and contribute to their posts to spread the message of Peace versus War in our world.

My painting titled ‘Best Friends’ was meant to capture the sentiment of embracing others and being friends even when it is a very unlikely pairing. This seems to be a theme throughout my entire life with my having unlikely friendships with others. Don’t you agree that our whole world would be a much more positive place to live in if we just accepted others and their way of being and believing?

I don’t feel the need to change anyone’s beliefs and I expect others to afford me the same courtesy. It has not always been easy to accept another’s beliefs when it so profoundly differs from my own, but it has gotten much easier as I’ve gotten older.

My son chose to join the military and ended up doing two tours of Iraq. It was quite challenging for me to accept his beliefs and accept his decision to serve our country in the manner he chose. Ultimately, I had no choice. I love my son and respect his choices and beliefs. I’m very proud of him and appreciate his bravery and courage. I may not agree with him at all times, but I definitely accept his choices such as that one.

Is there someone in your life that you have had to work at accepting their beliefs and choices when they are very different from your own? Do you agree that we need more focus on peace versus war as the Artists for Peace blog states?

All I Want for Christmas is an iPhone Case and…

Hello My Artsy and Creative Friends!

I know everyone is doing the countdown to Christmas or what ever your special Holiday is called. Less than two weeks to go people!

For the first time in a long time, I actually have a few things on my Christmas list. One of those things at the very top of the list is a new iPhone AND a new iPhone Case to go with it!

My current phone is the total pits. It’s not an iPhone or anywhere near being an iPhone. It’s more in the ‘redheaded step-child’ category I think. (It’s ok, I am a redhead, or was, and we grew up with this saying. Not bashing step-children or redheads at all. It’s a Southern thang. :))

I know that Zazzle’s print quality has been exceptional on every item I’ve ordered from them. The quality is awesome as well. So, when I do get my new iPhone (hint, hint Santa!), I want to order a lovely case from Zazzle to go with it! My only dilemma is trying to figure out which one to get! Sooooo many choices you can’t even imagine on Zazzle.

Here are a few of my favorites. The first group is to indulge my creative and artistic side which I love to do.

And then for my more Conservative side, there are these for me to ponder over.

Do you see the challenge here? There are so many awesome iPhone Cases to choose from that it could take quite a while for me to make up my mind. Which ones of the above are your favorites and do you feel would be a good choice for me? Help me decide please. I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

Oh, and if you don’t like any of the examples above, here are a few more links for you to take a look at. If you find something there, be sure and let me know. For the iPhone Pop Up Shop Examples you can visit HERE.

Until next time everyone – Create something everyday and make someone else happy by doing one small/great thing!

Who says that Black Friday has to be stressful? Not me! I don’t like fighting the crowds just to save a few bucks. Nope, I’d rather approach things from an online perspective.
