Fabulously Fresh & Fruity

Find fabulously fresh & fruity fun

I guess getting to blog every day or week, isn't happening exactly. I have to admit I'd rather be drawing and I pretty much am - when I'm not filling orders, socializing on Facebook, tweeting on Twitter or spending time with family and doing dreaded, house cleaning, chores.

Although the title of this post sounds like it could be a rave review of a drag show, its' nothing quite so entertaining, just some of my thoughts and scribbles to tell you about. It doesn't feel like I have anything clever to express at this moment and "this moment" is about all I have to fit in a blog post, so I'm going for the quick post and leaving wit to the wind. I really do try to eat healthy, of course I rarely succeed. I do honestly love my veggies but not so much fruit. As a special message for kids and moms, I am instituting the "do as I say not as I (don't) do" rule of thumb. Check out some of our new designs, there are five designs i all and they are fabulously, "fresh & fruity and fun too! Who doesn't have a sweet peach in their brood?!

I have a bunch more designs I'm working on for Twins, Halloween and Dog lovers and more. Sort of all over the place I know but it's that artist thing, everyone discusses out loud that I can't quite control. So please stay with me, have a little patience and for goodness sake, if you actually found me and are reading this gibberish - write to me already! Oh and by the way, I was totally stoked (even though I don't live on the West coast) and so I have to tell ya - the "real" Nia Vardalos DM'd me on Twitter - ha! "Ha" like in can you believe it and I swear it's true! More another time...

I Hate Valentine’s Day - in July

I actually didn't come up with any finished designs for the July 4th holiday, sorry! Although we already do have a few Patriotic designs for the baby, that have been popular. What I did come across, is a great idea to make you smile this holiday... I love romantic comedies, they are my favorite types of movies. So actresses like Nia Vardalos, from "Connie and Carla" and her recent My Life In Ruins and of course My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Sandra Bullock with the Miss Congeniality movies, Bonnie Hunt in Dave and Return to Me, are just a few of my personal favorites and just about some of the best kinds of people/characters to watch. I figure these ladies must be a little bit like the characters they portray, I mean it's called acting, not reincarnation or spirit dwelling - so they must have clever, witty reporte to keep you in stitches off the screen. I've figure if I ever meet any of them, we'll keep in touch and laugh through life's dramas. Okay, so I tend to daydream but dreams are good for the soul, or is it chicken soup?! I digress... "I Hate Valentine’s Day" is the name of Nia Vardalos' new movie, with her co-star John Corbett (from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Click to see I Hate Valentine's Day trailer. The story goes... Meet Genevieve (Vardalos). The owner of a flower shop in the heart of Brooklyn, NY and a romantic with a unique take on the dating game. Genevieve lives by a strict five date rule so she doesn’t get dumped and never gets hurt. Then she meets Greg (Corbett). He’s good looking, funny and new to town, and before they know it, both are falling for each other. Will this new romance cause Genevieve to reconsider her philosophy of love? It’s in theaters on July 3, 2009. Why not take a break from picnic prepping, cleaning, work or whatever and beat the heat this Fourth of July?! Go to the nearest theater to enjoy a fun movie with a little heart and laughter and be sure to grab some buttered popcorn and RAISINETS® too (send them to ME!) and Twitter Nia to let her know how much you loved the independent film which she once again wrote and directed (first time!) in 18 days with half the budget of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, how appropriate for an Independence day release?! Meanwhile, Happy 4th and promise I'll have something new soon to share!
