WHAT A DOG!


What a dog indeed! Would you believe he actually enjoys performing for the camera or is it those treats he gets for being the best dog ever! Regardless, Potter always seems to understand the goal and is quite willing to participate in our "play".

Is time for another Potter card ...... just need the idea! Ummmmm...... any ideas out there?

NATURES GIFT TODAY

Following this path has always given me moments to reflect and be in the now with the beauty of nature but today felt special as I rounded the corner to happen upon the small field of yellow flowers. I felt it a special gift just for me to enjoy in the stillness of the forest. My Bliss.

Wishes to you.... may you find beauty in the stillness of a moment today.

What Happened to the Dyed Easter Eggs?




Take a bite out of a chocolate rabbit... or guess the flavors of the jelly beans as you pick them out of the synthetic grass we have become accustomed to for the Easter nests. As kids we would run around frantically to find the most colored eggs......a real egg or plastic eggs! Are real eggs hidden at Easter becoming a thing of the past and now being replaced by plastic eggs? I had to search at the grocery store for the egg dye and there were no towers of egg cartons that would indicate the interest in dying eggs. Now I can't say I have dyed eggs for several years so obviously I'm just a little out of step with the times as to Easter eggs it appears.. at least in this town.

Now, here I am with the suggestion of sending an Easter E-Card. What... have e-cards replaced the good old fashioned paper cards sent by snail mail? No, I think not.... many of those who previously sent paper cards will continue to send cards by snail mail but many of us who were never good at getting greeting cards mailed timely or in fact only did so only at Christmas, if we were really together, now enjoy the ease of sending e-cards and actually have fun doing so for the animated cards are entertaining to watch and fun to customized and send.... For those of us who want to do our share by making "Green" choices for the planet ... e-cards are definitely the answer! No trees being cut down for the sake of sending an e-card!

Did you see the Spring card with the twin baby lambs? The babies were only a couple days old when I took the video of them at an eco-farm in a town nearby. Notice the wobbly legs? One baby was left behind after she wouldn't wake up to play with her twin who kept nuzzling her. Once she got up and figured out how to move her legs, I was the only thing she could see nearby. As she wasn't able to focus as yet, she walked toward me thinking I was her mother.
Only did she realize I wasn't her mother when she was but a few feet from the camera. My lucky day!


OR

For a totally different sensibility check out the humorous eggs in the carton ( yes, this is why I was dying the eggs). I had to put myself mentally in the egg carton as an egg... lol... well,
how else does one create the emotion to go with the story line of eggs in a panic? I liked being the diva egg in the dozen with my dandelion hat.


Enjoy and have a Very Happy Easter.

SPRING BEAUTY HAS ARRIVED



Each year I'm caught breathless again and again in the delicate beauty of spring... .....I marvel at the orchestration in the timing of the unfolding of each blossom and each leaf...As if by design, nature gives us her show of rebirth in a sequence of visual events pregnant with pauses.

MAD CAT


Oh, I just can't resist sharing this image.....the eyes and ears tell the story for this big grey furry boy...... and yes, of course we can relate to just what is in his mind ..... how would you feel when the mischievous three year old kid of the house is creeping up on YOU!

Maybe a future e-card.....what do you think?

Share your ideas for a caption!
How about.......

"I'll always love you, I just need a little space!"

OR

"Feeling a little cranky today?"

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Charming Food Characters

Gourd characters.... who would have known a pile of gourds would take me on this adventure!

All started out when I went to the farmer's market on Saturday and found a wonderful selection of colorful gourds begging to be discovered. I questioned myself as to what I would do with them and how I could use them for E-MotionCards. Answers didn't come, however, I've learned to trust my creative process...... I just get out of the way and let it all unfold. I found myself creating characters and actuallty laughing at myself for doing so. Quite honestly, I still don't know exactly how these characters will find themselves in e-cards but I trust ideas will come. In the meantime I am totally enjoying this escape into the world of "Gourdy" and "Ms. Go-Go-Gourdy"?

I'll keep you posted on this frivolous adventure in the land of gourds! In the meantime check out the new cards on E-MotionCards.

LIFE IN THE DAY OF A POODLE






One day I pulled the lounge chair out to take a short siesta; a rest in the warmth of the sun. There I laid for about ten minutes until the phone rang. After answering the phone I went out to lay in the sun a few more minute, alas, my chair was occupied. Yes, Potter had
decided to try it out obviously assuming what's good for me is good for him.

Potter my muse.... my constant inspiration.... but wait...... on this sunny summer afternoon I was his inspiration. Now you and I know that he would have been worlds warmer than I as he laid there with his dark thick coat on but he had to try it for himself..... sounds familiar doesn't it.

Wishing one and all to enjoy these remaining sultry summer days.

THE GIFTS OF A WINTER WONDERLAND



There are not words to convey the beauty of this moment in time.... yesterday I thought I was a bit weary of the snow storms and the ice we have had to deal with..... today my spirit soared with peaceful thoughts and awe as I was constantly drawn into this magical scene around me.... taking only one step out of the house I was instantly taken to another place - one of quiet beauty and transformation....... a place I will keep forever in my memories..... a place in which the memory is a gift.

CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF LOVE

Couple on a park bench, yes...... but who would think paper cutouts could be so expressive and open to interpretation. Endless story lines could be written by their body language....they could be old they could be teenagers, they could have just met, they could have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, they could be quarreling, they could be sharing deep loving thoughts with one another........the story is yours to write, the card is yours to send.

CELEBRATE THE DAY!

Why not celebrate the day! Celebrate with the spirit of having fun. Be playful. Be outrageous.

When was the last time you laughed with abandon? When was the last time you danced in the spirit of just being happy? When was the last time you were literally playful? When was the last time you sang a song just from feeling happy? When was the last time you embraced
yourself? When was last time you shared each of these moments with someone you love?

Have a colorful day in the spirit of celebration........even though it is just another day.....and just because it is today.

CREEPY CRAWLY BIRTHDAY E-CARD


Talk about creepy crawly bugs and snakes this e-card has them all! They slither, they hop and they crawl to the birthday party for the celebration.

The process to make this card is called Stop Motion, perhaps you are familiar with it. A camera is used to take shots of a set or subject in which the elements or people move in tiny increments then like a flip book the images are put together in a motion program. This card was made in the same spirit and with the same process as the Bubbles Birthday Wishes card, my first stop motion ecard. ( See prior entry.)

What fun I had making this card. At the end of the card the snakes, little rat, and insects have party hats on. Now had I the need to explain what I was doing at the time, making play dough party hats for little plastic creatures, one would wonder what planet I was on. I was even amused by the task actually. This being my second Stop Motion card I was able to concentrate on the creative aspect of the card rather than being bogged down with all the technical aspects first time around thank goodness. There were definitely a lot of retakes getting the timing right and the movements as I intended them but the creative process was all fun.

Thrill the kids you know with a creepy crawly birthday card from E-MotionCards!

TIME FOR THERAPY?


"Are you sitting down? Ready for this? OK, good news or bad news first?" the guy in the white shirt asks in a rather excited and agitated manner.

Good news YES......of course..... bad news, well, can we pretend this conversation never happened, this guy never was smiling in my face ready to take pleasure in delivering devastating news. If bad news, he obviously has an issue with smiling at inappropriate times.....but hey, how many people do you know who do just that..... spew out earth shattering news with a smile on their face. Who am I to talk as I want to slip into the realm of denial. Let's ALL go to therapy and make the world a better place.

Seriously, enjoy the day with only GOOD news coming your way.

Click here to see the guy even larger and in your face.....with music no less. ... and for even more fun.......send this card on to someone and make their day... a little nuttier!
