I am so excited for this postcard! For some odd reason I really love painting the moon! And this postcard is for something fun and meaningful.

Winsor & Newton is putting on a promotion called Art Mail. When you buy any type of watercolor from them, they will send you a free pack of blank postcards and one of them is already addressed and stamped to them.

So you take that postcard and paint whatever you want on it and then mail it back to them and they will put it in a virtual global art gallery and maybe even a physical gallery!

When all is said and done, they are going to sell all the postcards in support of a charity in the UK that helps bring artist designed, therapeutic environments to mental health wards!

And the best part, anyone can enter! From professional to amateur to someone trying watercolor for the first time! So if you’re into doing watercolors, you should go do it!

A geranium bloom!

Fun Fact: I’ve had this plant for 6 years, and she’s always blooming! 🥰

Today is World Autism Awareness/Acceptance Day!

Whether you prefer to use the infinity symbol or puzzle pieces, or the color red, or blue. We can all agree that we all have the same goal! And that is to continue to raise awareness and acceptance of autism. And of course to continue to advocate and fight for our loved ones who are on the spectrum.

I pride myself on being inclusive and a safe space for my fellow special needs families. And I will continue to raise awareness/acceptance because we all deserve to live in this world with love and understanding, and without judgement.

More Fort Phantom Hill pictures! They still had one of the old covered wagons there, and it was such a cool thing to see.
