I woke up today determined to do something postive. Then I thought while painting my eggs... I wonder if I can inspire creativity!? I hope so, so here goes:
                  Paint an EGG! 
No cheating! YOU must paint your own egg.
I don't care if you are an artist or not, just get creative!
Paint a pattern or scene, face - have fun!
I was going to specify Nature - but thought NO, why limit the imagination? Paint on your egg what ever you want.  Decorate and egg with paint, pencil, markers, crayons,  
I will ask that a photo is taken of the winner with their egg!  For entering the contest you will have a chance to win one of my painted eggs, cannabis friendly or not,  I will have several! I enjoyed sitting and having fun with such an interesting and challenging canvas! 
Such a lesson in patience. Although, I am sure there are tricks to holding the eggs while painting, I have not quite figured out yet. Perhaps on a stick. Hmmmmmmmm...

Send me the photo as soon as you are finished e mail it to me here: georgiatoons@rogers.com  or you can message it to me on FB GeorgiaToons. 
What ever is easiest. I figure a week is long enough. 
Contest Closes: Good Friday. March 29th at 12:00 midnight 
Winner chosen Monday (Easter Monday) April 1st. at 3:00p.m.

Your prize will include. A comic book, signed
A complete set of CC postcards. 
An original hand painted EGG! (One of a kind)
A hand drawn Easter card ;-)
Mailed or delivered at the EXPO. ;-) 
Contest has no age limit as neither does the imagination!!!  

Have fun! My eggs below. I actually painted several the same! 
LOL - and one for Storm but I can't show it, he will have to hunt that sucker down ;-)
Like my photo shoot? No chicks were harmed during the photo shoot. The eggs on the other hand I shall consider a tribute to the lives lost. 
xox <><  ;-)

It's out! In stores now! 
My second Hallmark card! 
They are in Hallmark stores in Canada (my husband saw it at the Walmart sore-also carry Hallmark) in the shoebox collection area from now until February 2013.  I must admit it is NEAT!  It was fun with my first card and equally fun with this one!  Now, who do I send it to!? Drawing this card was easy I just had a mental flash back of roller skating at the terrace in my red sequin tube top and LOVED my clackers- until they almost broke my fingers.  
There is no greater feeling being a cartoonist than to see your stuff in print.
I feel blessed to be in so many quality magazines -some of the BEST available! Now Hallmark cards! I am excited and inspired to set a new goal. 3 cards!  
To think I almost did not enter the contest but then I said what I say to others
- What have you go to lose?  Nothing. Nothing if you don't try!  
I  had a friend recently tell me he has had "his story rejected 3 times so - oh well..."
I laughed in my head - I have a -2- I have 2 duotangs full of rejection letters!! I kept them because I knew one day I would be published and I can look back and see that they were just pieces of paper. Even the rejection letters got better as time went on, with comments and encouragement from publishers.  I will never give up again when there is something I want to accomplish. 
I might not accomplish it but I know I will have tried and given it my best. 
That is ALL we can do. Our best. Over and over and over again - until we get it right.  
xox <><

Looks like Scruffy did not win the Fido contest- but we sure had fun! We allowed ourself to dream of a mini vacation. Had fun drawing and thinking of toons. Had she won, the toon was terrific! You'll just have to wait till next year to see that! We will try again!  Scruffy is our sweet little girl - LOL - who is even cuter since she lost a tooth (?no idea how) last week! Fido would have been - fun. We have fun every day! 
It was wonderful to see all the shares and those votes so I wanted to make it official to thank everyone once again! She may not have won FIDO but she won the hearts of many - especially ours!
xox <><

Last days till contest closes. Scruffy for Fido!   Someone pointed out to me they believe this Scruffy thing is just a distraction to myself! LOL- I have an important meeting coming up next week and will be making a very important decision! Surgery - so I said well if Scruffy wins and it is the same date - Surgery will have to wait!  -KIDDING! It was not received with the smile I thought I would get. 
Perhaps it is a nice distraction - Distraction??
No way! 
Me and Scruffy in a plane - on a train!? In a limo- in a hotel in Montreal! We shall visit a few outdoor cafe's along the way! Visit some friends... Pampered and a photo shoot! 
Not to mention we feel she is the most lovable, sweetest dog ever! So with only 10 days left Im pulling out all the stops! 
Let's do it! Let's GET scruffy to Montreal!!!  * When - we win (like to think positive), If I am unable to go - I think Norm will have to go in my place, after all Scruffy is really 'his' bitch and visa versa! ;-)) So PLEASE vote ! Only 10 days left! http://fidocastingcall.ca/dog/589820037
Long weekend here in Canada! BRING IT ON!!!!! P.S. next week - I will post a toon (Scruffy) to share and people to vote- I will draw from all who share for the original! 
On the 5th - that toon! 
xox <><

Scruffy is trying to win the FIDO  photoshoot! 
Well,we both are!!
Someone told me about the casting call so I entered - thinking - "Oh, that would be cute."  I KNOW she is cute - and everyone that meet Scruffy usually can't help but express an 'Awwwwwwwwww'.  Not only that Scruffy is a well behaved little bitch!  As an after thought I checked out what she can actually win! 

The Grand Prize winner will receive :
A 3-day VIP trip to Montreal including airfare and/or limousine/train transportation, a doggy spa treatment, a spa treatment for the owner, a limo ride around Montreal and most importantly, professional grooming and a photo shoot starring the winning pooch. 
The prize also includes:
  • Food for the dog for the duration of the trip
  • $1,000 in spending money
  • A Fido LG Optimus L7, a Fido gift card worth $100 and a Fido branded USB key
  • A gold medal engraved with the winning dog’s name
  • A dog accessory in Fido colours
A total value of $10,845

How cool would that be!? Just the thought of hanging with Scruffy in Montreal! PUTS a smile on my face and hers too! We are both in need of some serious grooming! LOL I am NOT going to groom Scruffy - and she needs it right now - I will let Fido do their best! (fingers crossed) So, I am going to have fun with it! I am going to try to win! WHY else enter and with a little help from my friends I believe we have a fantastic chance! 
Irony of this is I do NOT own a cell phone. NOT even sure how to use them! I guess I can learn! Please take a moment to vote! You can vote once a day!

REMEMBER you can VOTE one a day! 
The end of the contest is Sept 10th! So get them in now!!    THANK you!
3 days in Montreal! With my favorite bitch! (Don't tell Daisy or Tequila!) It would be so fantastic! A mini holiday and I have friends in Montreal! That I NEVER get to see!
I am imagining our hotel and room service!  Champaigne and milkbones! 
 I have promised Scruffy - When she wins(positive thinking for us) I will buy her a new 'Snuggle bunny' and I will draw the entire trip from start to finish to share with my friends!
VOTE SCRUFFY!!!    xox <><  

 
 
It's May! No more April showers- well tell that to mother nature today! With May comes the knowledge of summer weather ahead! New buds and blooms and birds!! Yeah May! It ALSO means for us that the EXPO - is 24 days away! I say Us because it is a team - My husband is my sherpa ;-))) as is Storm, I could not do it without them.  I also have a few friends helping me in my booth this year! I realize the Medical marijuana Expo is a one shot weekend to try to educate as many people as I can! I talk with parents and others who are not sure about Cannabis and want to find out more. I WISH - I had known about such an EXPO when we started- Oh well, when you learn things the hard way you have a tendency to not forget much ;-D  Treating Yourself magazine has provided me with issues of the magazine featuring Storm's story and I plan of passing them out!  I will have originals for sale - framed and unframed, bags, baby outfits (only a few), jewelry, painting and MORE!! * Today I am posting this NEW -It is a RE-draw- but HEY ! It's my own re draw so I can do that. I always loved this toon and sold the first  (not as detailed) cartoon, but have decided to keep this one.  It is SO true -
 Then and Now - Those who Believe ! Yet we still sit in this legal mess where people cannot medicate themselves with a plant and are forced to have chemicals stuffed down their throats whether they like it or NOT - IT is WRONG.  So twitch or not - I will be there! I will be talking to who ever wants to know because I know how this medicine has changed & saved our lives!  We are LIVING PROOF!  All I ask is that you share! The more people that see the more people the seed has been planted in the mind.
THIS is also the toon for my contest!!!! So Make sure you LIKE it on FB and share! YOu could win!! Details: http://www.georgiatoons.com/contest-on-now.html
