Pretty in Pink

The old cliche is "pretty in pink". Little girls love to dress up in pink. They feel so much more feminine in that color than in any other color. I used to love watching the girls strutt their stuff, especially at Easter time. But these days Easter isn't what it used to be. Now many stay in their jeans.

Well, hold the thought - pretty in pink - as you look at my first small notecards because the ladies out there still love the color. You just can't miss with pink! These are 4 x 5 notecards, six in a bundle for $8.00 and professionally printed on soft-to-the-touch matte paper. I'm actually excited about them.

Ideal for saying thanks to a friend or a client, these cards could also work as an announcement, a gift card, a quick note to mom, even a congratulations for graduation. In fact for the men out there, these would work for a Valentine's Day "I love you". Just think, you can feel good about your card, pick just the right words, and slide your card into a bouquet of flowers or a box of candy. You will be glad you did!

Sunflowers in a Bundle

One of my absolute weaknesses is a beautiful sunflower. I live for the day when I come upon a field of sunflowers. Don't know where there are any in my geographic area. Must make a mental note to look next August. About then I'm busy like a squirrel storing my nuts for the winter only I am picking blueberries for the freezer.

I dream of looking peacefully at that field of sunflowers, and then I want to start shooting photos. Lots and lots of photos. Every sunflower is a little different from the ones next to it. Goodness! I could be there all day!

The sunflowers I have in my collection are from gardens in the local area: a sunflower here, a sunflower there. They are very indivdual, standing proud in the sunshine as the tallest flower in the garden.

I must admit in retrospect there is something about majestic about them not being squished together like people in a huge crowd. They seem so dignified. And just think about it: they produce so many seeds to sustain the winter birds. That's like living on forever.

Anyway, I've taken my best photos of sunflowers and printed them on 5 x 7 note cards. Now I'm beginning to think about matting and framing some of them. Hmmm. Do you think they'd sell? I would love to know what you think.

I'm a bit humble about framing photos for folks to buy because I constantly wonder if they are good enough. Guess I'm almost ready to move forward though because I am constantly developing my photos skills and I'm feeling positive about the results.
