French Bulldog Cards and More for the Holidays

November 22, 2020 by still a dreamer

When I haven’t written in over a month, it usually means at least one thing. In this case, it means I have been deluged with holiday fundraisers and projects from my clients. It has been non-stop, and while I think of things to write here – I even take photos – and I want to catch up with those I follow, my creative energy is directed towards these projects and the time to actually focus on my own writing has been non-existent. It’s frustrating. Β But enough whining.

As a new and different Thanksgiving approaches, many, including myself, are already shopping extensively online for Christmas and holiday gifts. To that end, I am going to take a moment to shamelessly promote myself and the lovely French Bulldog items I have created for my Etsy shop.

If you are looking to send holiday cards, “Stranger in the Snow” is one among several you’ll find in my shop. You can also find a few neat gift ideas such as my “Frenchies Apres Monet” blank notecards which I’d like to think would be appreciated by fans of Monet as well as the French Bulldog. I also have a sweet, handsomely-made Frenchie journal, because we all are writing more these days what with all the stress in our lives. No? And if not you, perhaps you know someone who journals faithfully. (Or maybe just needs a notebook!)

All the original artwork is mine, and I can assure you, the cards are of a beautiful, heavy stock. If inspired, just toddle on over to Etsy at JBalsamFrenchieArt.Β 

As the intensity of my holiday workload is ever-so-slowly winding down, I am planning on writing again soon, and coming by to see you and what you’ve written, too. Should I not get to the post I have in mind before Thanksgiving, I wish you all a peaceful, happy, and safe holiday, however you may spend it. Take good care and let’s continue to look forward to less stressful days when we can meet with each other again as we have in the past. I am always happy to have you stop by!

    Oh, Jeanne! These are so sweet; I hope it’s OK that I posted a link on Facebook with a note for my friends…many dog-rescuers, fosters, and lovers among them. πŸ™‚

    Will it slow down a bit for you now? It’s lovely to be busy and then it’s lovely not to be…hope you can rest and enjoy this year’s holiday season, however that can safely unfold for you.

    Sending love,
    Kitty

      Thanks, Kitty. Is it OK? Oh yeah! I appreciate all shared and posted links wherever you may place them. Any help/support is welcome.

      It’s getting a little better, but mid-December my bi-monthly magazine job begins again. In the field that I work in, clients’ needs are on timed fundraising schedules and there are no really big lulls. But it will be a little calmer for a while than it’s been. I will rest as much as I can. Have a lovely Thanksgiving ❀️- staying home is OK with me!

    Jeanne, I so enjoyed your post. For both the reminder of your beautiful artwork available on Etsy and for your heartfelt holiday wishes too. Happy Holidays to you as well.

      And thank you on both counts, Pat! The holidays will be different, but we can definitely still enjoy them … just in some other ways. Nothing wrong with a little quiet …

      Thank you and a Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Cheryl. Honestly, after a while, it becomes totally exhausting busy, so I am definitely needing and looking forward to a break. The upside is that I really do like what I do, so there’s that. πŸ˜ŠπŸ¦ƒ
