Be My Valentine

Now that the Christmas holidays are over and deep winter weather is upon us, it's time to start looking forward to our next and my personal favourite holiday, "Chocolate Eating Day!"...ok, no...Valentine's Day. I need to be banned from any drug store, supermarket or department store during the days leading up to Feb. 14th because I cannot pass up the beautiful, colourful, aromatic isles of chocolate, candy and marshmallow hearts. Our newest family member, the 'treadmill' has been installed in the downstairs tv room and until it looses it gleaming newness, all of us have been giving it a turn regularly. I shudder to think of the day that it may become a huge and expensive coat rack or storage platform...but until then, I'll be walking and watching Rick Mercer, Modern Family, Oprah...

Here are a few Valentine's Day inspired cards for anyone who is close to your heart.

Happy New Year

2010 was a great year for UglyChickenFeet Designs. Thank you all my friends, family and customers who gave positive feedback and wonderful support.

I'll be doing lots of custom work this year; pets, children, homes and cottages...so if you need a special birthday card, party invitation or one-of-a-kind thank you card, give me a shout.

If there is anything you'd like to see more of (say, more dogs, hamsters, budgies, etc.), let me know that too.

I'm also going to be selling ink and watercolour originals, prints and greeting cards from my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/UglyChickenFeet

Hope you have a fantastic 2011 and talk soon!
Jen

Any name can be added by me to this cheerful card, making it an extra special birthday greeting. The inside can be customized for the occasion as well.
This would be a perfect print to hang in a little girl's room. It is printed on 8.5 x 11 high quality photo art paper with non-fading pigment inks. The colours are really beautiful!
