It's gratitude week!!
I'm going to be listing all the things I think have been AMAZING about 2020. My Gen X, youngest child heart is quirky that way, so bear with me.
The first one is - masks. I've worn masks on airplanes for years - and as soon as I started, I stopped getting sick after traveling, which used to be a constant. I have several immune compromised loved ones, so not being the only person wearing a mask in crowded situations is great! Everyone wins, and we will have a milder flu season as a bonus. My post from January on this topic now feels a bit eerie in hindsight.
I never really enjoyed being in stores when people were closer to me than six feet anyway, so that's another win - #strangerdanger. Please see this blog post from 13 years ago if you don't believe me!
Grocery delivery! I've been an Instacart member for SO many years, and I'm happy to see that they were ahead of their time and that other people are enjoying them now as well. I have never enjoyed any non-art related shopping except online, so what a godsend services like this have been for me. And I spend SO much less - impulse buys are real, y'all! I'd say Instacart has cut my grocery spending by a minimum of 40% - sort of frightening, looking back!
That's enough for today - I'll come back this week with more things 2020 has made great.
But now - I have some socially distant owls sticking to their safe pandemic pods for you today. This image is an adorable wood stamp from Hero Arts. I love tiny stamps for clean & simple cardmaking. So to make them perfectly aligned, I just taped down my Cut-Align, because it's thick enough to align a wood stamp with. Then I just stamped the owls with the bottom edge of the wood block snug to the Cut-Align. Then I used a Copic Multiliner to draw a wire/line for them to sit on. The sentiment is from this set, and I colored them with my alcohol fineliners - perfect for small stamps! Coupon code in the footer for those. Stay tuned below for sale info!
