As might be apparent to a lot of you, you know that I love dogs. Sometimes there have been more dogs visiting me at one time than people. Just can’t help it. I just find them the sweetest companions. Which is why I couldn’t resist making this picture into a card. I offer it as both a Valentine’s Day and Anniversary on my Etsy store at JulieSaffrinsStuff So, if you need a valentine’s card for your that special person in your life, hop on over to the store and get yourself one. There are only fifteen available. Happy February. Julie

Read MoreA Loonigan Notecard in the Time of Corona Virus
Greetings to you in the time of corona virus. 2020, a place in time where everywhere we look or listen and live seems anything but ordinary. Where facemasks are “mandated,” and every day brings a twist tucked into it. By now, a good portion of us, due to this pandemic, have moved to making pencil entries because of having had to put lines through inked-in items on our to-do lists as well as planned adventures on our calendars. What a Weird Year, or, as I like to call it now, a “loonigan” year. The Mestads and Hamanns have come for…
Read MoreNEW C. S. LEWIS CHRISTMAS WALL ART PRINT
Christmas. What it’s really about is what C. S. Lewis expressed perfectly: “Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.” If you’ve been looking for a simple saying that expresses how you feel about Christmas and are looking for something that will fit perfectly in a 10-inch by 12-inch frame (my preference is a gold frame), then you have found such an item. For awhile now, I’ve wanted to create something simple yet profound. That said it all about Christmas. It’s now up in my Etsy store, in juliesaffrinsstuff If you…
Read MoreA VERY BRITISH CHRISTMAS CARD
Many of you know I love anything having to do with Great Britain. And if I could have my druthers, I would visit there every year. But, because that is not likely happening, I’ve decided to bring Great Britain to me. And to you, should you desire. It’s in the form of a British Christmas card. Yes, Merry Christmas to you and me all year long with all things British hanging on the tree. Meant to give you a jolly holiday – and to anyone else who is an anglophile but can’t get there this year. Introducing the Anglophile’s British…
Read MoreMY NEW ETSY SHOP
One day last summer, working myself out of a funk, I decided to pull out the watercolors and began to paint. Ten greeting cards later, I set up an Etsy shop. Where, should you feel so inspired, you can take a peek at them to see if there’s something you might like. They are all my own designs and the cards are based on my original watercolor paintings. My shop, juliesaffrinsstuff can be found by clicking on juliesaffrinsstuff. While I do have my original BlessBack notecards as well as Lavish Love cards, I specifically created this new line of cards…
