This is my first mushroom art card - and possibly my only  mushroom card - I was asked for this to be made into print several times so here it is... only better because it's a CARD!
      NOW - You can send some snail mail and make someones day! Trust me - I know.
There are countless mushroom fans out there and many knowledgable ones at that- all those who remain breathing for one... thank Goodness!  Because 'one thing we all tend to agree on:   IF you are NOT positive.. do not eat it.  

These cards I purposely left blank- they can be used for ANY & every occasion:

                          -Having a dinner party? A mushroom meal? Here is the mush have invite!
               -Perfect for your foray hunting friends searching the forrest for munchies or
​                       arrange a foray yourself - use these to invite your guests!
                                          -Or thank them for letting you tag along.
                        -A birthday card for a Foray Director- perhaps (hee hee hee)
          -  I'm sending one as a 'thank you' card for some dried mushrooms I was given!
​Pop it in a frame from the dollar store (seen below)  and for ONLY $6. (cost of card & frame & tax) you have a great little piece of art for your kitchen or a lovely little gift for a friend.

​It's a cute quirky reminder for all mushroom/fungi fanatics  -as well as helpful to educate those not aware Mushrooms can easily KILL.  

          Want to see what to do after you get it? Frame it!! Hang it in your kitchen!
It can be framed & would look adorable in any kitchen.  Designed  standard size for any frame from the dollar store.  Each card size is 5 x 7 and comes with a white envelope.
*NOW - IF I have time & you are ordering a card for yourself - from me.. (let me know) I'll probably paint on the envelope too- cause I  can't resist!!  lol

​Do you sell mushroom ware at a fare, anywhere...? Would you care to buy bulk give these mushroom cards a try?  Send me a message for  pricing. 

I shared my cards on Instagram & Facebook- and will give 3 away on each- you simply have to comment  & I'll choose later. Thanks to all showing interest.

You can purchase my cards here  along with a few other items including some originals I sell from time to time. :  Georgia Toons Gifts​

*Next- why cannabis pot business shops near schools is FEAR mongering- and I'll prove it - are you in Keswick? Wait till you see this little discovery... AFTER I address it with letter to our editor of the local paper. With PHOTO proof.  Education is the KEY.

I'm not sure why I bought this book or rather why I was drawn to this one but I was. 
It's my cannabis education that also informed me about Human Trafficking - and how we waste  time & resources  with Drug trafficking - it's shameful.   I don't understand it.
I understand less..  people who are capable of sexually/physically abuse & hurt children - Then add the worst element you possibly can- the children are being perpetrated & used, abused by their own parents- is just FUCKING EVIL.

& for any who dare to argue Kids are o.k. with it - should read this book. The anger in his words years later- you can still feel his pain. I could .. it took me a long time to read this book, I had it before the last 2...  it is a true story of sexual abuse of a little boy and a very tragic story. While reading  I kept thinking - If I could get at his mother...  why didn't someone help him? How could they allow this to happen.. the name calling that went in my mind was not a good place to be. I had to finish. If this man could endure what he did and then share it with us to educate - how can I not read it and try to help to bring awareness. Not seeing it' will not make it go away- not seeing it does not mean it does not happen.

At one point when he talks about most of the men who come to have sex with the kids - don't even care to remove their wedding rings... they wonder - do they have children at home?  It literally made me feel sick to my stomach a few times.   If you think it doesn't mentally mess them up - read the book, see what is happening - the hate this creates - as far as I am concerned this is the sickest act an adult can achieve and I believe they should be severely punished. If you can't control your self around children sexual/physically -YOU are in fact the one with the problem... get castrated... before some innocent childs' life is destroyed because of lack control by an  deranged egotistical, evil adult,  as for the mother in the book - I have no words.   I know what I was wishing would happen to her  as I was reading - so YES,  I was let down at the end to read she was not  taken out back and beaten.. as she did so many times to that baby boy.  He could never understand why no one said anything...   What would you do if you suspected someone of abusing children... it can be a very serious implication to someone in a negative way- but far more serious to a child who is LIVING through the HELL.  

I understand people who hurt, hurt... this is not just inflicting pain - this is degrading a human so low they can hardly function, a tiny human..  who does not deserve this in any way.  The money we waste on DRUG trafficking when  this sort of thing is happen NOW to children is a terrible sign of a struggling society.  Read it.   

It has inspired a few drawing editorials when I stop feeling so sick about it.
I am very grateful to Joe Peters for sharing this - it must be incredibly difficult still- although it ends with him  and he is  with  a wife and children of his own.

​ Thank God.

 New art next!

What to paint for 420??
Clearly my mind is anticipating legal cannabis is Canada SOON!
& I'm thrilled  - just like this furry, fun loving bong bearing beaver!!
Who being an artist &  has carved a leaf from a log just like Michelangelo - setting it FREE!
How will I celebrate today?  Just like every other day...
Offering thanks to God and Storm for providing this plant medicine  which allows me (& many) to paint, function, live... chop wood & carry water. 

The FACT that less people will be going to jail in Canada over this PLANT is more than I could ever hoped for - and this will soon be the case! 
With legalization comes education and experience and AWARENESS
.. & less Alcohol & opiate consumption (positive thinking).

*Have you seen the new  doc on Netflix?  How  ADDERALL is only a tweaks away from being legal meth.. phhhbt..     I really  had no idea - you see  (& I type 'SEE' because you can read our journey here on cannabis for the past 10 years- living PROOF!!!)  this is what happens when your teenager gets LEGAL permission (thank you Dr.D & Health Canada) to use cannabis for medicine- a natural plant option... with wonderful healing potential;  neither of us was/were (?kids- learn your grammar)  aware it was as serious a problem as it is.  At one point a mom in the doc. remarks - about her own son- who she put on Adderall  when just a kid actually suggested it was due to the pills he was where he was NOW with his art... How fucking presumptuous is that? Hearing this - I thought: 
 Yeah lady, what ever helps you sleep at night.

 Seriously it blows my &^%$#@! mind how incredibly  judgemental people have been over cannabis as my sons medicine (never mind mine- after failed brain surgery) including some of our own family - you know who you are - and STILL are - yet this???
THIS frame of mind is o.k.?  This is better for our (your) children.  
I am  grateful for this education on every f*cking level!  

Not only has canabis helped save my sons life - it's set us free from living with & hearing from ignorant, judgemental people who would rather take the time to speculate than to KNOW... who instead of listening to family  - listened to the media and it's fear mongering and turned their backs on us...  "family".  We are far better off NOT being around this type of mentality - related or not - it's certainly not one based in love.

Rise & Grind - Wake & bake
Give Thanks
AMEN!

Once there was a Tinky Winky
Who had a little too much to Drinky 
& this effected how he Thinky.

Tinky Winky + thinky + Drinky =
Sinky.   (Into depression)

I doubt very much Tinky Winky would be dead
.. had he switched to JUST cannabis instead.

R.I.P Tinky Winky.  2018

Have I lied?  
I read this this morning and shook my head... not hit by a bus, not a heart attack.. he froze to death from being passed out DRUNK in a ditch. Is this the middle ages? How does this happen?   Alcohol IS a PROBLEM.  Alcohol kills and YET  our own canadian government is TREATING us & cannabis as IF we are still criminals-  Cannabis the the safer option.  Not allowing advertising- what about ALCOHOL Justin??? Alcohol, proven to have caused deaths many times over in many ways..  can advertise - is thought to be NORMAL - a way to make every celebration complete-  well here are the facts in YOUR face. 
It is an opportunity to teach all children the TRUTH:
​Tinky Winky had too much to drink and died.  
How f*cking sad.  Check out this list we can add Tinky to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_through_alcohol

I thought to myself this might make some people angry.. good. Are you angry with me?
How about you get angry with a government who continues to mislead it's people by promoting, and allowing the abuses of alcohol to continue at a profit - DO you know how much he LCBO in canada makes- IT is the biggest Monolopy in the world OUR booze sales earn our government billions FACT.  $22.1 billion last year alone.  Is there any wonder we see hyprocy when it comes o alcohol & cannabis- DO NOT stand for it.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/statscan-alcohol-sales-1.4095446

​I REFUSE to let anyone label me a criminal or "stoner" for my choosing cannabis - educate yourself on the facts & then lets continue the conversation - as legalization gets here- regarding advertising- theres going to be challenges  and cannabis will win. 
The Sun. The moon & the Truth - can not be hidden long.

Cananbis is much safer than Alcohol.
World wide Deaths from Cannabis alone:   0
World wide Deaths from Alcohol alone :  Too many to ever keep track of  & counting.

I do feel truly sad for the gentleman who played Tinky Winky , Simon Shelton.
What a sad, lonely way to go.  
Free at last.

I walked in my office this morning, looked at my desk - in the dark because bird is molting ;( & he should not be - I think it's because he's been hanging out with me late nights as I paint and he needs his beauty sleep - so I wait until he's up in the morning - lol & go to bed early so he can go to sleep - the things I do for Bird, anyway - the work on my desk - looked impressive - even in the dark! It's the most difficult mushroom painted yet  - beyond excited now that my calendar is almost complete to see it all together.

I LOVE Canada & Canadians - Canadians Care :
To the gentleman who started to tweet about this Hospital Grate  THANK YOU!!
https://www.canadianarchitect.com/architecture/toronto-general-hospital-removes-bars-defensive-architecture/1003742146/      What does it say about a society who treats it homeless and poor in this manner?  It says YOU are cruel and it won't be tolerated. 

How about Tims.. yep Goodbye Tim Hortons. A Canadian icon at one time.. daily  for decades- "go grab me a Tims" was the morning tagline- NO more - it looks like we are not the only ones who stopped using Tim Hortons after the complaining of  pay increases and trying to stiff it's employees NOW they fall from 4th to 50th..  wow: http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/tim-hortons-reputation-is-tanking-after-a-year-of-stumbles-and-bitter-feuds/     

& you know what will happen when Cannabis becomes legalized in this country- People will go where they are treated the best and get the best prices.
Will that be these government run stores?   I don't think soooooooo.....    
BTW, now that Coffee legally has to claim is it cancerous in California ​https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/30/california-judge-rules-that-coffee-requires-cancer-warning.html    I guess it can be said :
Cannabis safer than coffee?   Right?    RISE & Grind!   

BIRDS are back.. and making babies!  GOOD because bird decline is a serious problem -  do you know what kills birds? CATS!!!  I love cats - but not cat owners who are careless.  Please keep your cats INDOORS or PUT A BELL ON IT!! At least give the birds a fighting chance. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/cats-the-no-1-killer-of-birds-in-canada-1.3130437   this article already a few years old and the problem  only continued to get worse. 
If I can train my cats to keep away from a free flying in-house bird - take the time to train your cats or put a bell on it.  
I'm sending this to my pal Russ who is also bird crazy like me...  lol  -it gets him on a mission- he acts! I draw - he makes phone calls and gets attention... better than most.

Now to start my day I'm painting a little girl  - a toddler  card!! What fun!
 A unicorn in a TUTU-   hee hee!

April 2nd and today I'm thinking ahead- June as a matter of fact.
In my search to own the perfect mushroom calendar (and not finding one) I have created one! 2019 will be a year for Magnificent Mushrooms!  
As you are aware - I love mushrooms  - eat, medicate and research!
& I happen to 'love' the current Foray Director of the MST .. hee hee hee  
It was when we started to attend Forays began my Amour Adventure'  (practicing for France) with fungi seeing the living bodies - all different, colorful, alien in appearance, frightening when understand a tiny nibble of one type can kill you  yet the thought of the enoki in my fridge frying has me drooling..  I flip through my sons magazines and books and   easily become fascinated - Have you seen Blood Tooth Fungi?  I can guarantee you if walking in the woods and you spied it out of the corner of your eye- you would walk over and bend down and think "Is that alive? Is that dead?  Is that Blood? Is it alien!?"  lol
If you had no clue that it was just  one of the countless captivating samples of mushroom strangeness' out there, that is.

Then I realized... I Love painting mushroom (almost as much as cannanbis) and just LOOKING at them, to paint you have to study - the more I study the more I want to see - taaaaadaaaaa  my calendar is being created.  :)  I have shown very few, but it is a definite hit!  Each illustration has taken me 2 days for not very large originals.  First, I  choose the month (face down) the mushroom found me...   : )   Set up each page and I really weighed IF I should use 'type font or paint the actually Month and numbers - Freehand was the final decision.. 

None of us is perfect - yet each one was created perfect in Gods  Endless Universe!
My numbers are  perfect -  as they are only enhanced by the nature of their surroundings.

:) Thank you, Fungi Friends.
I woke today and could not wait to sit here.. after bird duty *please WELCOME back some of our Feathered Friends!  I have chosen the name for the calendar-  presented when complete... still a few steps, printing, packaging  & off they go.  200.
One on my wall in my office, Storm has asked ordered one - 199, 198, 197...

If you are interested- I highly recommend you stay tooned, I'm working and several different projects and will share them here when ready.
I can't wait to finish JUNE! Storm took one look this a.m. and went:  
"Whhaaaaattt?! Your adding one of them? Wow...." 
:) I love the Foray Director.  hee hee hee

BYT- I cheated with decorating the cake (below) - much my amusement it made everyone laugh and He really looked  cute.  The message he was sending was  "I love you, This Much!"
Is there any other message needed?

Happy Easter Monday, just thinking about Jesus calms my  heart & mind.
He restores my soul.

Hello - My name is Georgia & I  live in Georgina ;)
Searching for my newest book - there it was Finding  me from the shelf in isle 3.  ;)
From the first paragraph I was intrigued. This book is about child abduction  and how it ruins lives- no kidding but it's also from a different perspective.. I was going to wait to read it for April but made the mistake of starting the first page after  bringing it home and was hooked - a cold spell this Spring made it easy to stay snuggled or go to bed early rather than watch T.V,  to finish it in less than a week.

I really enjoy learning little things about other cultures and places.. for example I learned about eating King cakes and babies & would enjoy trying one. I googled.
I would recommend this book but not for moms with young children- you'll  only worry more.  It reminded me discussing with Storm when he was little about 'strangers and abduction and I'd get the typical  eye roll along with "you're being paranoid'.."
Too many moms know the reality of missing children (at every age).
It must absolutely be one of the worst feelings in the world... I don't know how they go on.

Going to war or watching our children go off to war - and even come home- is another terrible thing to witness - worse to live with,  what a difficult read this was: 
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/anderson-brothers-ptsd-1.4589733
I have no doubts his MEDICATION played a serious part in his destruction. 
Cannabis helps for PTSD!!!  Please help educate someone today.
WAR what is it good for = GREED.

I decided to focus on the POSITIVE and paint some cartoons/drawings today in celebration of legalization in Canada  - SOON!  HOW many days?  
I'm still planning/drawing for July 1st!  2018
Amen - it might help end us reading as many stories as the one above with the two brothers.

Back to:  Rise & Grind Canada!  It's A New Day
New  cannabis art next.. ! More Betty - in the garden!
& YOUR FREE EASTER card/craft download! Cannabis & mushroom friendly. 
It would also make a sweet little money gift card- for  those who  give $... I better HOP to it and finish it today! hee hee   

Read...  it's good for your brain. Even when it makes our hearts a little sad.
Education is key to better, healthier lives.

Oh.. (below) this is mail NOT meant for us - placed in our locked mail box.
How else would I get it.
It happens often and I will share our post office blues - between them & porch pirates - now, there will have to be some new level of guaranteeing your  -  our mail.  
Guaranteeing your medicine. Clearly it's an issue.

We have installed cameras & Norm is designing a locked box where items (smaller can be placed inside) it's not that our stuff is worth  $$$ - it's more to deter thieves and avoid aggravation...  no need to encourage criminals.   I can see more homes being designed with this problem in mind.
 
To those who take these things-  imagine for a moment the free karma that comes with each package. Enjoy that item you took that does not belong to you...  Karma one day will correct your deed, indeed.  

I'm thankful I don't get my medicine through the mail, it would be a constant source of stress due to past experience. One more reason for individual local dispensaries in every small town.

For some reason this guy reminds me of Dan Bilzerian who has now joined the cananbis business down in the USA.  I don't know what to think about him...   I have checked him out- hard not to ladies he is  'manly handsome',  he  sends  mixed emotions every time I see him in an interview.
For some reason I feel sadness everytime I hear him speak.   Look at him, look at his life, his  STUFF, women (which he treats like objects - ladies...  your call) his money, lifestyle- many desire it...  still he seems incredibly sad to me.  I can't help but think he is struggling - although he sure doesn't look it.

Everyone thinks its great to be so rich, so 'wanted' - will this guy ever know if someone wants him or simply his money. Women want men just for their money - men want women just for their bodies... who needs it, because for the women  as in most cases we see in history - most of the time the men realize this  & eventually and it ends badly. Any woman who thinks this guy will settle down and become a family man is fooling themselves, perhaps for a couple of years.  Who wants this?
I guess some women do in hopes of when they eventually split - they will get a nice payout..   money.  The more you have the less assured you can be about those around you.  
You get what you pay for.  Dan has a 'serious girlfriend'  according to social media, good...
I hope he experiences some true love. 

If I was loaded & looking for love... I'd dress down, drive a beaten up car, would rent out a modest apartment  until I felt the person interested in me & my dogs & bird...- was just interested in me.  'If.    lol     I don't have to worry, I'm not loaded or looking for love.  
Thankful I don't have to fake it for funds.

I think Dan is a poor example for young men, his careless attitude towards women glorifies a serious problem already being encountered by too many - men & women are no more than OBJECTS to be used and toss aside when you have $$$.  
Bought & sold.. just not so obvious.  
Sexual Slavery.  
Some put chains on themselves for the fame & stuff & don't even realize it.

It's fascinating when 'old guys' realize  the hottie 20 - 30 years younger - are NOT really into them - it's not "love"  by gold diggers.  No one else is shocked.
You got what you paid for. I don't necessarily blame gold diggers'  
All is fair in love & war - isn't that what they say?

By the way are you aware of this scam:

I learned someone I knew (not very well)  died in an accident yesterday.
What I did know - he was a nice guy, he always had a smile, was laid back...  & I think he was a great dad. Now he is dead, I'm not sure what happened other than I heard it was an accident in Mexico... all I can think about is his wife & kids.  Im sure it's all anyone is thinking about.

Why does a good dad/man have to die- why not some piece of shit who is hurting people?
Why not some liar who abuses, beats, cheats - why not some scum dead instead of a good dad?  A good husband?
What does anything matter compared to this?
Now these kids have no dad and his wife - I can't imagine - without him it will be difficult  & I believe they loved each other, one of those couples who appear to 'fit' and would last a lifetime.            Whats a life time?

We met through the cannabis industry - years ago.. when I think of the stress caused it caused him, we spoke about it in detail once, caused us..  for what?  LIES.
This cannabis prohibition bullshit - Our Government making a big deal out of nothing... constant FEAR mongering,  when everyone realizes how less harmful it is compared to Alcohol and other  legal drugs - I hope heads will finally roll, starting with Kathleen Wynne  who is on her way OUT anyway!  What will happen to her?  Nothing.  
Lying politicians.. they move on, retire - rich and greedy... with her grandkids who will probably grow up and smoke cannabis and realize what a lying  greedy * their grandma was to ALL Canadians.  I sometimes think Justins kids will wonder too.  
Am I upset?  YES!!   I'm TIRED of this shit!

I've watched, listen and over the past years especially - it's all about GREED,  I look forward to Doug Ford and a REALISTIC, honest approach to cannabis.   I look forward to seeing  individual, small owned cannabis dispensaries as well as the bigger producers - I look forward to Canadians having a CHOICE.  
lol - I even look forward to seeing the Emery's - able to open shop!  As it should be.

Those who provide  quality goods and service will succeed.  It's that simple
 Anything but the FUCKING lies... enough is enough.

I woke today  bummed.. thinking about Shane King,  stayed in bed  feeling sorry for myself  - FUCK no,  Shane won't be able to get up today and hang out with his family.  :(  
Up, checked out IG and someone sent me a message  wanting to send me a pipe, a gift.  
A pipe they made.  Today is a gift. 
It warmed my heart this chilly morning...   talk about timing. 

Today is a gift.    

I spend today painting,  something now that I can in-turn present as a 'gift' to others.  
You are created to create & bring joy to others.  To bring joy to ourselves.

I love Birds! I am a self proclaimed Passerine Queen - lol  Do you know who the smartest bird is? Well there are several but the Raven is one of the smartest - a genius of birds able to use tools and figure out puzzles  work in partnership with other animals like the wolf - they are truly a bird of brains.  Imagine int the past when you called someone a 'bird brain' you THOUGHT you were insulting them, in fact for their size - Birds are incredibly smart.

I also am an admirer of Totem poles and have seen them throughout my life and Canada -each time with astonishment for the ART of the carved Giants - once covered with leaves still standing sending messages for generations to come.   This is one of my favourite pieces, the edge of the paper I painted in gold was exactly the finish touch this raven needed.  Clearly these long 'canvas' are a preference of mine - the 'black you see like the bottom mask if the black paper-  it's a interesting way to paint. 

In California I woke every morning by the Crow or Raven alarm - sometimes here they will wake me up but usually it's the bluejays asking  "Where's breakfast!"   Do you have a Spirit bird? A totem animal? Is it the Raven? Sure enough I looked up Storms totem animal as he is the one who's been noticing the ravens- and it is his Totem Spirit - on his birthdate.  The knowledge of these animals were 'created & shared in history and ancient teachings- to help us as we continue through life- to dismiss them is the same as dismissing anything - "it's Hocus locus"... instead why not learn a little?  
​Embrace a bit of what others wanted to teach us to assist our journey, learn from others wisdom.

What is YOUR Totem animal ? Mine is the wolf 
Explore the possibilities.
