It’s time! For those of you old-fashioned folk who still love to write out and send Christmas or holiday cards, please check out these Frenchie darlings ready to travel miles with nothing but your love and a stamp.
Featuring my own artwork, this card is called “Toasty Warm”, because who wouldn’t be with those little sweaters and pom-pom knitted caps? You can order my Toasty Warm French Bulldog holiday cards in my shop on Etsy, and send something adorable to your friends and loved ones.
As is the case with many things nowadays, the art of hand writing cards and notes seems to have fallen out of favor with some in favor of the speed of the internet. And here’s where I disagree – there is nothing like opening your mailbox and discovering a bona fide greeting card – be it for Christmas, the holidays, or some other occasion – written out just to you. It has always been special and, in my opinion, will always be special. (As a parallel note, by the way, Kindle sales have fallen and sales of real, 3-dimensional books for children are on the upswing.)
There is something about the smile you feel when holding a card in your hands, displaying it on the mantle, and looking at it whenever you feel like it, that can’t be replaced by the digital. So check out all my French Bulldog holiday cards, and discover what you would like to send!
Your artwork is so lovely! I hope you sell many cards and that they’re sent and enjoyed thoroughly! I have a friend in England who is a gifted artist and I send her cards every year…much more special than store-bought. 🙂 Gentle peace, Kitty

Kitty, thank you so much for your good wishes and compliments. I so appreciate them, and I’m hoping your appreciation is a forerunner (foreteller?) of great sales, too! Take good care,

Very cute cards Jeanne, and I agree with you about opening “real” cards. Thankfully I don’t get many e-cards. By the way I see you are reading a Sue Monk Kidd book (from your widget). I don’t know this particular book by her, but I loved The Invention of Wings. I guess you have already read that too?

Thanks, Denzil. We artists are prone to not promoting ourselves, so I have to remind – and push – myself to use all avenues available to let people know about what I do!
Sue Monk Kidd – I haven’t read The Invention of Wings, (and am taking note) but undoubtedly, her very famous The Secret Life of Bees ranks in my top 15 books of all time. If you want to read more of SMK, that’s where I’d go. The Mermaid Chair was also excellent. Firstlight is a compendium of essays and pieces of a more-and-less spiritual nature that she wrote when she first began as an author and contributed to Guideposts magazine. Just beginning; let you know.

Your Frenchies have such personalities. Lovely drawings. I’m also taking note of SMK titles from your and Denzil’s comments.

Thanks, Pat. Frenchies are enormously expressive and I’m always glad to hear someone say I’ve captured that. OK … having a brain lapse – what does SMK mean? 😛
