I like the good and the positive and these words definitely spoke to me. I found them on one of several poetry sites a few days ago. I am always curious about the person behind the prose, but I could not find much about her life, other than the fact she is an artist and has an online catalog called Sugarboo & Company, which you can find at this link if interested. Even when I don’t buy, I enjoy browsing.
In her own words from the website:
"My name is Rebecca Puig and I'm the artist behind Sugarboo & Co. In case you were wondering, "Sugarboo" came from a couple of nicknames I have for my children, Jake and Sophie. They are the main inspiration for Sugarboo because I always want to create products that remind us of the ones we love."
My photo of the mother and child hedgehog was taken at the Fairy Garden on one of our many trips to Meadowlark Gardens. It is another I have shared and you may remember it. As I have been asked before, the illustration I used with my signature logo was found on Pixabay.com - this is a great source of free photos and illustrations. I make all my signature logos in Paint Shop Pro, and the frame around my photo was put together using the same program.
You are a computer expert for sure. Don't think I could ever do your cute signatures! I always enjoy them, and they relate to your posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny, I have always been interested in learning about the artsy side of computers but that's as far as it goes :) Glad you enjoy them.
DeleteGood words Denise.

DeleteLove that cute couple. Hedgehogs are yet another animal that fascinates me. And a big yes for loving kindness. In every species.
