Crafting, coloring & creating are all opportunities to make memories & teach, what better  time to teach about cannabis, Christmas, natural medicine & more.
Here are some  decorations you  can color, use for gift tags,  attach some string & make a garland or hang them on the tree. Cut out & color each one, stick on a bigger piece of paper to create custom cards. I've even included a mushroom  - a very popular tree decoration in Europe - it is a wonderful introduction to talk about reindeer, wild mushrooms & NEVER eating a mushroom unless you are positive it is safe.

If you bake, clearly mark your edibles to avoid any confusion during the holiday & safely keep away from children & pets.  Just over a week away & Christmas will be here.
​Happy Holidays.

I am living vicariously through the chronic crafter.. lol
I want to craft but can't as much as I use to, several reasons - mostly I'm too busy painting.
I can't remember how we met.. but we did! Sara's quite the crafter & lovely young woman,
we exchanged a few email & soon I felt as though we were' two pee's from the same creative  alien pod. Sara had a little 'needle felted  octopus', I asked if she wanted to barter, as I do.
YES! I have my octopus & more! My part of the barter is still being worked on NOW.. it was my reminder to post. Sara a.k.a the Chronic Crafter is  a crafty, determined person- her weekly newsletters are always a craft easy enough for beginners!!  
I get the entire 'stoner thing'..  so be it.  Like many enjoy wine at these painting parties, I too even think, I feel like getting HIGH. In reality - I just feel like feeling good.  Don't you?

My blog, has been a part-time  job, this I know- from cartoons & research  to persistence as well as constant content is NOT an easy task, it had to become habit. Build an audience on top of it that is interested in  repeat returns & POSSIBLY make any sort of income from it-- it too is CREATIVE work it's another reason I like what she's doing.  Persistence. 

Sara was the first to color my FREE Easter page and send it to me. ;) Thank You.
I've met many creative beings the past few years (especially fellow cartoonists) but it's nice to meet  someone who shares my love of crafting'- so much so- when I see something on PIN- I'll send it to SARA!  "Make this! or "This  looks easy & cool" - the next thing I see is - it was created in her newsletter. We both wanted to make the Stuffed Stash jar (I don't need a Teddy bear stash jar),  it's a cute idea to  stash your stash.. I gave her a little 'jar of a reminder to get busy on it-  her honesty- admitting she glued the Teddy Bears head on backwards made me giggle, I thought - 'Oh yeah, I could see how she did that!'  It's CRUCIAL for beginner crafters to realize -us "professionals" all F*ck up, it's how we learn.  Martha makes it look too easy - so when beginners try an do make a mistake they are discourage - I can't do it and don't.

DO! Sara and I both are here to tell you - DO! There are fewer things more satisfying as CREATING or  making something old new again - in this highly tossed world. I've pretty much already tried' much of what I have seen Sara creating (don't forget I use to teach crafts for  years) but I KNOW many of you have not- it does not have to be 'STONER crafts'- all crafts can be changed to use for kids, make a little stash jar for them to hide a tooth or treasure of their own.  Teach a little girl how to DIP  an old glass ornament even a shell into  nail polish - it does not need to be a bong.  HAVE FUN!   Sara is helping in her own stoner way to keep you inspired another day!  Turn off the television and DISCOVER what YOU are capable of!  Me - I can summons Wild Blue Jays! My power is endless! As long as my peanut supply is.

Sara is Canadian, lives with her honey & cute kitties in B.C., we have quite the distance to go to hang out together! For now we will continue being creative friends on line.  Check out her  website - it will take you to facebook, instagram & PIN!  

Speaking of PIN, being crafty- I found a carrot cake recipe. OH MY, OH MY! Using 2 cups of grated fresh carrots and all goodness - here's the thing- I toss all in a bowl and mix- it works terrific! The Butter Cream Cheese icing- NOM NOM! They are as good as I was getting from the little coffee shop - better- I'm making them! FRESH.
Know what tastes delicious  on a hot day? Frozen carrot cake.  
Thursday is expected to be 30 something!  A heat wave? Get baking now! lol
Here it is: ​http://pinchofyum.com/best-carrot-cake-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese-frosting
If you visit me - I have some in the freezer- unless I remember it at 2:00a.m. like last night. 

One more thing, I woke yesterday and said  OUT LOUD you are going to have  something WONDERFUL happen today..     It did.  
I was lying down for a nap and Storm called  me -I looked up &  there David' at the door (one of Storms friends since they were little) standing there, he had a  bunch of long stemmed roses & he smiled at me & in his peace-full voice said:
​
"Happy Mothers day, I'm sorry I couldn't get them to you yesterday".  

​They are some of the most beautiful roses I've ever been given, by far.

With Love

It's Buds Bunny! Jumping for JOY! Cannabis is here end it's time to celebrate and ENJOY  all the benefits that follow!  When I was working on the coloring sheet  thinking about one of my favourite pastimes as a kid - Jumping jacks - Who was not fascinated by these technical marvels that could dance with the pull of one string?

Who in Canada- or  USA has not at one point given a little tug?
Especially as little tykes? What could I offer to bring as much 'Tickle me Green Giggles'?
BUDS BUNNY & He is FREE. 

Debating on 'Printable downloads' as a source of income, amongst others opportunities BUDS Bunny hopped right onto my drawing desk- the next thing I knew  'He was going to be a toy that could be printed this EASTER for every adult who wants- for every kid they want - Kid of any age. When it comes to jumping jacks I can not resist!

Bugs Bunny is  in color for those that want to make and use without putting much thought. Being the visual person I am, it was much easier for me to put it all in step by step photos for assembly AS you see Below.  The paper I use to paint him on was water color paper - stronger than most. 140lb.
I HIGHLY recommend before you do anything,  YOU take the following simple step:

Print your bunny on good paper - then GLUE the entire sheet on the back (smooth out the glue with a credit card so the entire sheet is covered ) * or use spray adhesive, and place it on a stronger piece of cardboard- recycle an old cereal box.  Use the 'blank side' out so you have a nice "clean back to write a note on the back of your Buds bunny- Do not forget the day you created this masterpiece - so future generations will enjoy your hard work.  
Once DRY follow the steps.

You will need:
Glue *for above step*  IF printing on a CARD stock quality paper - you might not need this step.
Scissors
A standard hole punch 
4 brass brackets - available at a craft store.
Needle & hempstring or strong thread.
Nimble fngers to tie knots...lol
1 BEAD or something with 'Weight' to tie on the bottom  *see examples below
Patience 

Follow the steps below and then.. Jump for Joy as Buds Bunny knows the healing powers of cannabis- BTW- just incase your bunny doesn't have his 3rd eye open- you can cut out the little flower and place it  over... for now.. lol  

PLEASE, if you have the opportunity, take the time to explain to little ones about the plant.
That's all the first step need be.. 

Educate them:  They should NEVER touch or eat any PLANT OR Mushroom
unless they KNOW what it is. There are far more poisonous and deadly plants in the wild  than the cannabis on your counter.  Fact.

Click on the Image below for your Easter Gift from GeorgiaToons.  ;) then follow the steps in the images below. have fun! Take photo an show me your bunny! #budsbunnyjumps  or
E me a photo..   stay tooned - MORE  creative cannabis inspired crafting coming soon. 
With Love,
Georgia 

I'll leave this post for a couple of days - Enjoy your Easter Weekend! 

BUDS BUNNY is a creation & property of Georgia Toons *I don't mind you printing a bunny for your honey - or even a few - But no money shall be made on this buds bunny.
"Give" please  & Give thanks ;)
Think of the smiles yo will create.

NOTE! I'd like to thank IKEA for this:

http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/doc/general-document/ikea-here’s-how.__1364308096275.pdf

 It is a template to print out if you don't want to use bunny & recycle cardboard - like those IKEA assembly required  - lol- boxes ;) ! 
& it shows you 'simply' how to assemble.

I'm taking a break for Easter.. no posts for a couple of days. 

With Love
Georgia
