How About A Little French Bulldog Valentine Love?

January 24, 2017 by still a dreamer

Everyone likes to share a little sweetness with someone special at Valentine’s Day. How about sending this adorable Frenchie Valentine?

Check out those just-frosted cookies – this cute pied Frenchie is. And they’re not just hearts for Valentine’s Day. Why, yes, there are some cookies with rather familiar big ears! And you know what that means. That these blank notecards are not just for Valentine’s Day but for whenever baking cookies is a good time! Yup. ANYtime!

I’ve drawn these new Frenchie notecards in my usual style, but somewhere in between a sketch and a finely detailed colored pencil drawing, all on a nice, recycled matte paper. Blank inside so you can write to your heart’s content and never be out of season.

We all know how digital everything has become nowadays, but I’d like you to take a moment and remember the last time you opened your mailbox and found inside a real, 3-dimensional card from someone in your life. Put a big smile on your face, didn’t it? I know that’s what happens to me. So go old-school and send some smiles to the wonderful people in your life. Better yet, send those smiles with my adorable (if I say so myself) French Bulldog notecards.

  Thanks, Andrea. The card is my toe in the water as I start up a business again — hoping, planning, to rely on my own creativity to make my way.

      Thanks so much. You will see my progress here on my blog. 🙂 I may open a separate page for the Frenchie biz, or maybe a second domain. I decided to pay the small required sum so that ads no longer appeared, and guess what? WP gives you a free new domain. Lots to think about.

  Thanks, Cynthia. I certainly got a late start for Valentine’s Day (for card sales, anyway) but I’m glad people are enjoying it.

Those are beautiful note cards, Jeanne! I never got an email notification on this post or your latest one. I’ve bookmarked your link. All the best on starting up the new business.

  Hi Lavinia. I’ll tell you why – for some reason this comment and the one on my new post went to spam. That’s odd. I’ll keep an eye on that. Meanwhile, I “unspammed” you. Thanks for liking my notecards and your good wishes! I appreciate all the support I can get!

    I noted something usual yesterday with some blogs. Unless I comment directly through the reader page, I can’t comment. I did learn that WP quietly made some changes recently to fix some problems. Askimet, the SPAM blocker is outside of WP though. It has run amok in the past and the company that manages Askimet has had to fix that.

      Had to smile on that one – I didn’t know there was any other way one could comment on another’s blog but to scroll to the comments section, log in and write whatever it is! Aside from what happened with you, I didn’t notice anything unusual. But sites also do hiccup, and/or if you happened to be writing when they were working on WordPress, that could do it, too.

        It is still through the comments section, but it only works for me on some blogs if I access the page though the reader interface. Same goes for “likes”.
