It's Easter weekend and there lots to do.. actually  - it's all done!  Easter bunnies have been made & decorated! I have company coming and they go home with a gift - homemade! Poppy is testing them out and they passed - no wobble - isn't she fricken the cutest!!?
Sat there until I lifted her out now on my lap as I type - Norms in the kitchen making sliders, Storms rolling some medicine to enjoy during a movie later with dinner- it's peaceful & I'm grateful.  The house is clean, I've got a painting on my desk and tomorrow there will be Easter dinner  at the table!   Nothing too fancy.. Simple but good.

Storm and I hung out in the kitchen while he made 'picked chips'- noting the one in particular was a 'nuclear warning- I hope not- life right now is good.. spring is around the corner - I'm working on a few projects which I am very excited about, everyone is busy and I can't help but feel - still- Life is only going to get BETTER.     F*ck Trump.  
Finally...

I apoligoze for not showing you my current project - but it's a work in progress  and will be AVAILABLE in a month or so to purchase.   I want to take this opportunity today 'Thank you.  Weekly, I am asked about my art and purchasing prints or originals which is business & business is daunting - so I rarely sell or do anything about it- but some of you have become pretty persistent as of late -  so I did it!  I've got some things being printed in small numbers - limited editions.  
Once gone - gone. No re print..  it will be on to a different project.
ONE is  already planned for the next 3 years!  

On a side note- I'm still dreaming about France- lol - Literally - and I don't know what it's about  but this a.m., I was dreaming about a romance in France and I was with ... (LOL) Dan - Oh, my gosh I'm cracking up- Storm also had a good laugh.. I guess because I researched him bit recently- In my dreams I was with that  20th century cave man.  Yes, in my dreams- I doubt very much in real life -  either of us would think it was more a nightmare. It did cause me laughter first thing this morning and it's a great way to start the day - laughing at myself.

 Well- there still a tiny bit to do and always painting to be done..  
Have a Great Easter! What will you create?

Just playing with paint.     :)   & scissors.
Day dreaming about Elephants... wondering if I'll ever see one in the wild, probably not.
Especially not, not feeling confident for Elephants in the future  or any BIG beautiful Beasts with humans like this in charge:

I do not understand why the large majority of humans who do NOT agree with 'thrill killing'
cannot stop the few who do.  I understand less how the majority of humans can't seem to change the rules - which are harming innocent others.  Gun violence, drug wars, violence against each other & child abuse... animal abuse.

Back to day dreaming & painting.  
Focusing on Ravens & Totem poles. Totem Poles are Majestic.

I spied this empty container in the blue box..  Can you guess what it's from?
It was from a bottle of expensive, high end Whiskey which Storm enjoys from time to time.
YUK!  I can't even stand the smell of whiskey but this container  screamed - Paint me! 
It was a surface which resembled brown newsprint with a  gold deer logo on it... next thing I knew it was on my desk with a sketch on it.

This is how to give a bottle of expensive alcohol!  Hand painted with TLC by me...
It was a short break during my regular painting.  Recycle! Don't toss everything- get creative... this can be used to store many items - including a bottle.   
I painted it for Storm... we use to say this when he was little.
Tonight were off to friends again for dinner, last time it was home made pizza which I'm still drooling over every time I think about them...  I can't wait.

I love pockets! They are so handy, you can fill them full of love like in this card!
Valentine card # 3.  I've really enjoyed making these cards with the intent to have others make them.  It's not that difficult!  Explore your creative side &  I've mad it easy for you- fear free! ! I was sent an image from a young woman who made the 'Honey jar card in DE!  It turned out terrific and she made it herself (without the printout) with my instruction,  with feeling so crummy it really came at the perfect moment. Nice to see & it gave me a little boost - I had to make the pocket card which has been in my mind for over a week. 

It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday - it took me longer with this cold' but I feel worse when I don't paint so I decided to try & then the next thing I know it was complete  and I felt accomplished and ready for my next nap! lol  This card was fun, make your own, use my template.. It's really easy to paint the front, it's more or less shades of blue pointed with a BIG brush then some lines with a finer brush and a bit of red. You would only need to buy  2 colors- because  you can make the darker shaded by mixing the two to get a purple :D  Below is the image containing the pocket contents!
Print it out, cut them out and put them in your pocket! 
Have fun! - What might you leave out or add in?  
I'd include a real joint for fun too-  thats the idea behind the card you could add a gift card, stickers, cash - anything that's slightly 'flat'. I'm keeping this card! It looks cute on my desk! 

See below to see how to make this card! Share with someone you love or try to make one for yourself!  I hope what ever your plans you have a LOVELY day!   & btw- Im continuing to make cards filled with love all month  & all share another soon - I've been busy with some fun templates- wait until you see how creative 'You' can be!

​The free download printable "pocketstuff"  image is below!
Supplies I used:  
Water color blank cards (and envelope)
paper for pocket goodies (or printed version*)
Print and glue onto cardboard first for extra strength! 
Gouache paint:  red & blue  You can use any pant  or supplies- I suggest red & blue ;)
paint brushes 1 large flat and one small detail.
scissors,  white craft glue

!! I realize the condom was an after thought!   I've been married 26 years people. 
The condom was an after thought..   so just add the REAL deal!
​Which is much better than the sentiment anyway!  xox G  

Nothing says loving like something homemade!  Crafts, cards - so why should cannabis be any better?  Giving someone a jar of your bed preserved home grown bud would be telling them you love them and then some!  You want them to be happy, relaxed.. inspired  - healthy.  Here is another VALENTINE card for you to make and give - the great thing is - you could give anything from bud,  candy, medicated cookie, shatter... diamonds -preyty much anything that will fit in a baggie'.

Below is the actual image you can download & print  OR make your own from scratch!
It's not as hard as it looks - the hardest part was the painting (easy for me), *thank you to my son for the cutting work.  I highly reccomend you glue your paper to thin cardboard or use a good quality 'card stock'- I buy my blank cards by the box (bulk lol) from DeSerres (Canadian craft supply store- free delivery & competitive prices)  Water color quality, complete with envelopes... so when ever I feel that need to create cards - it's there! I'm enjoying this card making session-  wait until you see the next.

Steps for the Mason Jar card:

-print out card on card stock or glue your print out to thin cardboard, empty cereal boxes work great for this.
-Carefully cut out inside of jar around edges *these steps are in the photos below.
Green slice Matt & cutter from dollarstore or staples.
-glue the cut out part of the card 'only the sweetest..'  to the inside  of the card- *make sure you place it so that you can see it  when the card is closed.
-place a small baggie and glue- tape (glue would not hold on its' own)  it as you see in the photo, both sides and the bottom, when the card is closed it should look like 'clear glass'.
-fill your card with TLC & THC!

Sign your card- date the back, put it in an envelope - pain on a few hearts to tie it all together, a bit of twine would take it up a notch ' Have fun!  Think Love.

 You can add cannabis/medicated for your adult friends/lover/mate  
NOT medicated for the kids. Please take care with delicious tasting goodies. 
The baggies could be filled with many creative ideas- I think it would make a nice packaging idea by the way for a dispensary,  I know many don't have the creative marketing budgets some of these big places have so get creative!   

*I purposely did not paint cannabis on this card - so a kids could make it for their friends (with some adult supervision)  and fill it with healthy treats for their friends!  It's all about
Love.

Have fun!   I have one more card idea!! It's titled 
You've got all I need! We still have time right?  I love the creative side...
I don't go for this 'Valentines DAY' stuff-  Show me love all the time not just one day of the year or not at all.  It should not require a DAY on a calendar for anyone to express love to anyone...  I will admit - it is a good time to 'take a chance for romance!' as  many have 'Amour on the brain.  

I hope you enjoyed this card - to the point of creating one yourself - if you do send me a photo- I'll send you a postcard. ;)    The next card is a print out as well, one more before  Valentines day so you have time to get your cards created! 
​

Love is in the air!  It's February and I'm making valentines! 'A little early  -you might add.
YES! I have to make it early so I can share it with you - in time for you to make one too!
This little card turned out better than I expected- it made me smile when i was complete and - it actually worked! 

Roses are Red Cannabis is green- this is the cutest little 'canancard game' I've ever seen!
Spin the centre & You'll see - who your Valentine Bud  is to be! Hee Hee Hee
A interactive card - Let's Play!
Not sure how you'll spend Valentine day? I've taken some of the guess work out for you!
Give it a spin- start your evening with what the Canna Wheel suggests- heck spin until you sample them all!  Once complete- I found myself spinning just for fun, Storm was impressed and gave it a spin too.  The best part of this Valentines Day Card- YOU don't need a partner! Make it and 'play with yourself.   ;)   Show yourself some love.

I' have included the Free Download links below - click on the link  to print it in color or black & white. 

I painted my card on water color paper- so it is stronger...  
If you are printing yours I do suggest these steps:

1. Print your card
2.Color your card
3.Glue the entire sheet to a piece of cardboard- an empty cereal box would do
4.Let it dry over night
5.Cut it out and assemble as in the steps below.

Supplies needed:  Scissors, white glue, crayons, pencil crayons, paint   & one Brad (found at craft supply stores & the dollar store- IF you don't have  a brad'  use some string with knots tied to hold it into place.

By gluing your paper to cardboard it will make your card stronger and spin easier.  I have included the version you can color yourself & the colored version to print if you wish.
Come on Give it a Spin! Have some loving creative fun!

* Make this card,  then  #cannaspincard your photo on Instagram with @georgia.toons  or IG in a message & I'll mail you out a set of postcards for playing along & anyone who tries will  also be entered into a draw for a free  original - inspired by and filled with LOVE.
​Only those reading this message here  will know of this contest.  Don't forget when it hits 1000 a big original goes to someone following. That simple.
I am thankful I get to share my gifts with you, it makes me feel good to know when someone gets an original or I've inspired someone to make their own cards to share love - I have helped add love & light - some sunshine to the universe this day.

​*Offer ends at the end of this month. Feb 2018.   You can see my spinner spin on my IG account (if you follow) my account is currently 'Private.   Why? It's just the mood I am in, I also do not automatically follow those who follow, it is not personal  ;) it get's too distracting & I can't keep up & I am using IG as my main source of Social media & way to communicate with some 'real friends'... but i do look at others pages who follow & thank you for your support btw.  Sometimes I contact strangers on IG and ask them if they want an original (like I did with Holly & you will see who's next - I've offered a free logo to a young woman who is setting a lovely example on IG.
Oh - & Georgia's ! Why not.. I'm networking with other Georgias all around the world. Hahaha- It's my current thing! Are you a fellow Georgia? E me! 

Have fun!! I've decided to paint more love..  currently painting a 'cow' I love.   lol
I saw it on my desk this a.m. and almost skipped this post- I'm so excited to get back to my Mushroom cow.  :D

Step by step photos and a few notes in the images below.  I posted it early so you will have LOTS of time to  make your card, lol (I woke Storm just to film the video.. he's a bit jet lag but got up to do it for US'  ;) I love my son)   possibly even a few- I can think of several friends who would love this card.. but I think I'll keep it to Spin on a rainy day.. just for fun - Because:

I Love Me.

Get Busy!!

One of the best gifts you will ever give is your time, what better time spending making memories with your kids - making decorations for the holidays. 
PIN is the place to be! Here are a few simple EASY Christmas crafts with links for creative beings of all ages. Click on the image to be taken to the link on how to:
​

Currently there are many painted mushrooms on my desk with a Christmas craft of my own..  what will you create today - Christmas memories?  I'm not sure when the holidays officially start' but snow apparently is on the way... and there is nothing more fun than building a snow person.. or snow dog.  

The Christmas Display also has a new addition- photos of  "Cornelius" digging for gold on the front lawn - soon here is a sneak PEEK:

 I love Buddha Bowls! You find many ideas on PIN if you do not know what they are, there are some ideas on BUZZfeed for BuddhaBowls and too many to count on PIN.  But I decided to make a Buddha Bowl for my Buddha Bowls!  He turned out terrific - If I do say so myself- it's the perfect size, feels nice in my hand and shall be washed with loving care when I'm through.
I also thought it would make a sweet little planter, should I ever grow tired of it as a bowl.
My Buddha bowl also has her 3rd eye open. ready to greet the day! 
​ 

The back has painted  my daily OM'... reminder... time to meditate!
& the bottom has my signature- it's a  Georgia original... one of a kind.
& the centre has a green swirl - just for fun!

You are created to create!  What will you make today? 
Time to fill my Buddha Bowl with nourishing food for my mind & body. 
I'm making a couple of Buddha Bowls' I have a few friends who would enjoy one for the holidays!  I love making and giving homemade gifts especially ones which nourish.'
​Do what you love & you'll never 'work' a day in your life.
​I've already had 3 orders for my Buddha bowls! Each one will be different 
hand signed and numbered By me! 

Live EAT & have a Buddhaful Buddha Bowl day! 
Have a Creative day!

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
