<div>
Welcome to my fun little post for the</div>
<a href="https://pearblossompress.com/" id="id_cee4_9df5_4d4c_1600">Pear Blossom Press</a> and <a href="https://haisupply.com/" id="id_9634_4d9b_4f5f_a30">HAI Supply</a> blog hop! Applause , applause!!!! I Was so honored when Victor asked me if I would be interested in being one of the designers for this team. He and I go way back! I was a newbie to Pear Blossom Press and they’re EZ lights.<br />
<div>
I wasn’t really sure that they were my kind of thing, until I started playing with them. And now… Honestly I haven’t even stopped. I love these and I’m a new fan. I have always been a big fan of HAI supply and their plethora of goodies. Washi tape, gems, Confetti bits and their new washi paper. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_cdcb_2b7f_eefb_b3de" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/X0FTDBinC5iEOY5UOV14cwAIRNwuPT2Yr3nBZUpsp-jn1OcFv-Wze7_tzS2mgNM" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
So far I’ve made a total of three cards. And I have one more super secret project to come next week. I’m so excited to use my last set of lights for this project.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_40c5_c919_d38e_9426" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HPMQgZ5KojvntZ0qlOlyNyndQR62pcidcJdq4dpRfOFoLy69j3QByeQNq7BQ-w" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
The lights come in a package just like this above complete with the battery pack, batteries, and the strings with three lights attached to each battery pack. The way you attach them as super simple with double-sided tape and popping the entire piece with for mounting tape or pop dots. I think the hardest part for me was poking the holes. And that was only on the first card. By the second and third I was a professional.</div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_1f20_ded6_a86f_4999" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/c2TubaPabcC0K4U2KFaPCfU9Ho5l2jzktXsprsqN5htmzRPl5oKxUPeMecunty8" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
On the next card that I’m showing here I have used two sets of lights which gave me six lights at all on this pretty flower from my Rainbow Brite collage element. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<img alt="" id="id_b342_f276_c4f8_70d5" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/xfAHEn4kJInGdK3k6vVG1uV4ZWlelkguzgEHaANM8fSF1OkllifhBDw4F2mz-k8" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
<div>
Before it lights up and.... wait for it....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_8b86_a41f_1b6f_9949" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/dwe-AIwlF7_nqAabfKt9qitJZt8_XhlElpgek_QafQp8Y5uPDmSiLVMceCHMFVI" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
And after. So cute, right? I could’ve done 100 of these samples. It was so much fun. Here’s the last card</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_aa37_47a0_64d2_82b9" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/TNyGw7FDmCARtrGrCDJ9d-FvLKJoO3sJhwvSXRijJLljruV_jkt0gKoawFZu-7s" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
Did I already say that one was my favorite? Because I’m not sure this one might be my favorite. The cool thing is, you put the HAI Gems On top of the lights and that’s how they magnify and light up big and bright. Without the gems they’ll light up but there’s no magnification.Here it is all lit up.</div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_b378_d6ae_5a8f_b5a7" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/ndhG2IikxorMtTNVr5imdGY6cbVNfcUD2LV6T-7e0PxXU3hEc8_4ux3Iaf4kvfA" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<br />
How cute is that? Right! Lots of my collage elements look great with the lights. Even more of my collage elements look great with the gems from HAI. Are use the clear ones on all of my sea life and fishy cards. They definitely look like bubbles. So stay tuned for more blog posts with those in the future.</div>
<div>

It’s with a company that is new to me. Pear Blossom Press. Fun idea, though. They make strings of battery operated lights that attach to the front of a card base. So they are light and flat and give a super cool effect. Victors company makes amazing tiny embellishments that will go great with the lights. He also has new washi sheets that are small washi squares. Very cool and very outside my comfort zone. <div><br></div><div>The hop is on June 20th and you will hop from my blog to quite a few other designers to see what we have created.

If you had kids or grandkids around then, you knew him. Teachers gave him to kids to color and take with them wherever their adventures took them and they would take pics of him having fun in cool places.</div><div><br></div><div>Fast forward to pandemic time.</div><div><br></div><div>I thought Fanny and Felix ( my flat folks) needed some pals. Meet Rona Corona and Cyrus Virus. Color them, cut them out, assemble them and take them wherever you go- around the house, yard or neighborhood during this nutso time. Think elf on the shelf. Take pics and share! They have their own hashtags so please use them so we can track their wackadoodle adventures. </div><div>•</div><div>Kids and adults!</div><div>•</div><div>Included are the original vintage fanny, Felix and Freida too!</div><div>•</div><div>Please share with any and all stuck at home during this crazy time. They were started by myself as a happy place when this all began as a replacement for spending my days with my mom in her memory care facility. Once the lock down started, I felt lost. I laid around in bed for five days. Five days too long. So I created these for you all and for me to keep busy. Please share them with friends, family, teachers, kids... anyone who could use cheer right now.</div><div><br></div><div>* These are only for your own PERSONAL use.

Well without all of us Artist here on Facebook creating cool videos and playing free concerts and designing coloring sheets and offering free classes... and making masks and painting signs and decorating sidewalks, this would be a very lonely existence right now. I’m proud to stand up and finally say I am an artist. This is who I am and this is what I do. And it is essential. I may not be going out in the world. I am staying home. But what I do matters and what you do matters. Art matters. </div><div>.</div><div>Share with an artist, or a stitch or, or a musician, or a game creator, or a puzzle builder, or a sidewalk chalk Painter, or Baker, or a photographer, or any creative that you know. And tell them thank you</div> <img id="id_3c47_97c7_6544_8ba4" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/QUpj_cIlRHvvuBHp_Fpb45SnhSlUskRMxd_3ewo55ntSdI2Ja7sL0-yyNPFULtM" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>lindsay ostromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01864301085487780642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663179508159781545.post-55630553735474775872020-04-19T07:26:00.001-07:002020-04-19T07:26:49.735-07:00Day 31.... one world together at home...<img id="id_f090_c0a7_dbcd_8078" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_phZoZdOZkJ3ENCR1q8qjkoAyByqzj2z5QBErFrZ6WVEQOVRLZlWkhxjyzt6Oqk" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br>Day 31... can it be possible that I have been drawing these coloring sheets for 31 days?

It’s Easter weekend and it’s going to be a different Easter weekend than any we’ve ever seen. My post yesterday shared the KC are a news stations art for coloring for kids. Here’s one that you grown-ups can do. It’s a lot more detailed. I’m including one that I colored myself. I normally don’t take time to color them but I did this for the new station. So when you’re done coloring Easter eggs you can color this. Now your entire day is full. You’re welcome. Ha ha Ha. Happy Easter!!!<div><br></div><div><img id="id_fb40_a60_b3eb_65a3" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/cs9AJG79gm4cfOgBgYC6jifeH4rww1nrtDzJVkuK8ffu-9f9Btmr-ODkxLW4YMQ" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_a67f_47d6_5bdc_f12e" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cSO1urguM6dUvi_culGP6CjKDjUmlmy3-qsrBJluwTPkM7YCiG4X-t6PbidDsyQ" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>lindsay ostromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01864301085487780642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663179508159781545.post-3739998254295872852020-04-10T11:25:00.001-07:002020-04-10T11:25:51.029-07:00Featured on KCRA Today <div><br></div><div>Just a quick blog post today to let everybody know that I was featured on KCRA, our local news station for the coloring sheets that I’ve been doing. It’s day 23 of coloring sheets for me and day 27 of not seeing my mom. I’m planning on keeping News up for as long as this lasts. He’s coloring sheets of given me a reason to get up in the morning and get dressed and do something that I feel is important. I’ve heard from all kinds of people from all over the place that this is given them something to look forward to and their kids something to do. So it makes me feel a little bit better than I did 27 days ago. </div><div><br></div><div>I hope you enjoy the article and if you download the Sheets and color them I would love to see what you end up doing with them.

Why? Oh, I donno. Just so much crap out there right now, can’t sleep. Woke up to pee and then my mind starts wandering. So to make it stop, I try to come up with positive ideas. Idea number 7,642.... grab bags!!!! </div><div><br></div><div>I have sooooo many rubber stamps from my art journey with impression obsession that I have decided to do grab bags. Wooooo hoooo! I just got a box of my new images and I will do an unboxing of those LIVE in my Facebook group tomorrow and then bag them up to sell as grab bags. I’ll be live here at 9am PST. Click on the link and join in! </div><div><br></div><div>Join the group here,</div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/408675836695370/?ref=share">https://www.facebook.com/groups/408675836695370/?ref=share</a></div><div><br></div><div>So I’m just going to work through this plan here to get it out of my head, then I might be able to sleep. I get one stamp for every piece of art they take. I have drawn over 1,500 images for impression obsession stamps! Holy cow! That’s a lot!!! So, my plan is that every bag will have at least one new image and then a bunch of cool older designs. I’m gonna do $25 bags with at least $50 worth or stamps in each bag. They will be available for shipping or pick up at my doorstep ( I live in the middle of nowhere, so I recommend delivery!)</div><div><br></div><div>Ok, great. That’s out of my head. Now maybe I can sleep. Oh yeah, sure. That’s only one little piece of info swirling around in my head. Well... I’ll try. Sweet dreams everyone!</div><div><br></div>lindsay ostromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01864301085487780642noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663179508159781545.post-67335729895413406942020-04-01T07:58:00.001-07:002020-04-01T07:58:35.951-07:00Day 13... thank you <img id="id_d663_888f_1fca_f74b" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/XuleOsYrfRIgpgzrIIBfjf1wM49y2F1zfec6C8XxQhX82GV0Nknw9zeCV3flik4" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br> <div><br></div><div><div>Day 14...</div><div>Today is the beginning of NATIONAL LETTER WRITING MONTH!!!!
