Alligators and Cherry Blossoms

What's New in April?

Other than a trip to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, we’ve been laying low this month and puttering around in the flower garden. Lots of new Monarchs have flown the coop, and my dill and parsley is ready for the swallowtails to start laying eggs. Now that my butterfly garden is well established, I moved on to starting the hummingbird garden that I have been put on the To Do list for a long time. This is the spring for it!

The weather is still very nice and the humidity is low, so we’re enjoying a pleasant spring. Some of our snowbirds have been moving back north, but we still have a small population enjoying the spring weather.

I've been very busy creating pretty postcards, notecards, and greeting cards.

This isn’t the best photo, but enjoy the heron running the alligator away from her nest. She was loud and chased him for a few minutes until he left her alone.

What’s New

Stickers: Since I've had some extra time, I have had a chance to translate my t-shirt and sweatshirt designs into sticker format. It's been a blast, and right now, I am taking the time to upload them all for sale. Lots of thank you stickers, too!

Word Search Book: Okay, I had time to write a new word search book; it's currently for sale on Amazon. It's all about food!!

Blank Notecards: In addition to stickers, I have been designing and printing blank notecards from a lot of my art. I only have one complete set done, but there are so many more almost ready to go.

Until next month,

Julie

Things to Look Forward To:

New Products:

Front License Plates: I have started designing my front license plates lineup. I added a dozen new tags for cars.

Journals: I have many plans for different journals with prompts, so keep an eye out for those journals.

Notepads and Sticky Notes: These are in the works, and I have several prototypes done. They feature garden images at the moment, but the sticky note pads have all been centered around nurses. Still working out the bugs, but I expect to have these available soon.
