Finally, the Easter bunny delivered the final 2025 Easter pins. So: if you’ve not received yours, you’ll likely get ’em tomorrow or Saturday, in plenty of time to celebrate Easter.

Made, too, a limited number of Easter baskets with a pink rose attachment on the front.

Second wave of Easter pins now in the mail; so more deliveries a-coming.

so watch your mailboxes.

Here’s a first look at the Easter pins I’ve created for 2025. This year, Easter will be on April 20, so there’s a month to prep for the event.
Some Easter pins are in the mail now; doing an early roll-out and distribution, since the pins were finished last month. Mailings will continue for the next few days, so hope recipients will be a bit patient

I had fun creating two  Valentine’s signage– expressly for a desk or check-in counter– for a half dozen of my doctors, dentist, and PT guy, to share the joy of  the approaching Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14.

I dressed up acrylic photo frames, which were the foundation for the signs. The scheme was to use available holiday items – heart stickers, heart sayings – in bursts of red, pink, and white.

One version featured a sparkling red heart bearing a pink “love you” saying, surrounded by valentines of various hues with seasonal sayings like “be mine” and “Valentine’s Day.” Used a background comprising a variety of smaller hearts.

The other one boasted an oversized red valentine, onto which a funky red-and-black lip cutout is glued with “kiss me” wording.  Assorted smaller valentines – displaying timely candy slogans like “hugs,” “you rock,” “#love” and “awesome”—serve as mini billboards befitting Valentine’s Day.

The signs accompanied an array of Valentine’s pins for these health heroes.

Found these neat paper florals and Valentine’s-themed images, and was able to create a limited number of stunning, cute Valentine’s pins that didn’t rely on traditional hearts but projected love in a very sweet way.. Wish I bought more! Lucky you, if you received one of these designs.
