Art Stuff I like

I love finding great new art supplies to try out. If there is something you absolutely love to use let me know so that I too can try it out. Here are some items I like:

International Museum Day

Every May 18th we celebrate International Museum Day. In 1977 this day was established by the International Council of Museums.

It's a good day to visit and appreciate your local museum. And don't forget that they probably need your support too. On this day visit your local museum and interact with the museum staff and find out what challenges the museum faces on a day to day basis.

Every year they promote a different theme on this special day. Make sure to learn as much as possible  about your local museum and maybe you can even volunteer to help once in a while.

National Nurses Day

In 1953, Dorothy Sutherland of the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare sent the proposal to President Eisenhower to proclaim a " Nurse Day". The proclamation of not made officially, however the day gained national recognition.

International Nurse Day is celebrated on Florence Nightingale's birthday on May 12 of each year.

Take some time to recognize the contributions and commitment to quality health care that nurses across the world provide to patients. Spread the word and bring awareness to the importance of nurses in the care and well being that they provide to us when we are ill.

Sidewalk Art by it's city residents...love it!

January 28th is Fun at Work Day!

Every January 28th is a special day, it's Fun at Work Day!

Don't you envy all the people that actually have fun jobs.

Today whether you play a game at lunch time or have an office pot luck, it's the perfect day to do a fun activity at work. (of course make sure to have the okay from your boss, it's always a good idea to get management involved.)

If you simply can't have a fun filled work day then maybe the best thing is to get together with your co-workers after work and go out for a fun filled evening.

Lucky are those who  have fun at work everyday.

National Blonde Brownie Day

January 22 is National Blonde Brownie Day

Ohhh so so good...yummy.

One of my favorite things to add to the already delicious brownie is some warm caramel sauce.

Some people refer to the blonde brownie and a blondie or blondie bar. This dessert is a sweet and rich. Some may also contain walnuts or pecans or in some cases chocolate chips.

Blonde brownies look like chocolate brownies but instead of cocoa they are made with brown sugar.

Of course if you really want the ultimate sweet and rich dessert why not put together a sundae topped with a blondie and some wonderful caramel.

If you want to bake some here are some recipes:

Happy National Hug Day

January 21 is Happy National Hug Day!

So make sure to hug your loved ones today.

Studies have shown that human contact is good for you. Whether it's kissing, hugging or simply touching this is great for our emotional well being.

This special day was started by Reverend Kevin Zaborney in Caro, Michigan in 1986.

Why did he start this day you might ask?

He felt that Americans are less affectionate in public so he chose this day because he felt that especially in the dead of winter when most peoples spirits are already low this would be a perfect time to hug someone.

Hugging is not just a sign of love but it is also a sign of support and encouragement.

So don't be shy and make someone's day special by giving them a big hug.

What to get back at someone that's been mean or nasty? Why not ship them glitter!

Glitter is lovely to look at but you won't be able to get it off for a really long times and it gets into everything. They have the perfect handmade glitter bomb cards.

Shipyourenemiesglittershop.com can do that for you. But they can also send your loved ones a confetti filled card to brighten up their day and you can also send them a little bit of glitter.

Ship your Enemies Glitter Shop

In January 2015 as a joke a guy by the name of Mathew Carpenter (twitter @matcapenter) set up a website named Shipyourenemiesglitter.com and after a couple of posts on social media it went viral. He ended up with over 2000 orders at about $10 per envelope and ended up having to shut down the service after his website crashed. He also posted a comment stating that he had it with glitter and put the website for sale.

People that go to the website and try to order will get a notice stating that they aren't taking any orders currently.

However you can still send your enemies glitter bomb cards by visiting this website: www.glitterwham.com. They actually create a glitter bomb card to your specifications and you can actually choose between glitter, confetti or both.
These cards are not just for your enemies because there are people that would actually be thrilled to receive a confetti filled card to celebrate their special day.

So whether you want to piss off someone or brighten up their day head on over to www.glitterwham.com or www.shipyourenemiesglittershop.com
