When I started working in the DIY industry in the late 1990’s, I realized that many designers sent out their own creatively designed holiday cards to editors, vendors, and people they did business with. I barely got holiday cards out to friends and family. Besides if everyone else was sending holiday cards, it would be easy to be missed in the mix. So — I decided on Ground Hog Day cards. I had the whole month of January to come up with the design and get them sent — and no one was expecting a greeting card the first of February. They were a hit — for my work as well as friends and family. So much so they became expected. So I’ve tried to continue the tradition over the years. I’ve posted a few of the early drawn designs. When I retired, I wanted to get back to creating so I’ve pulled out a few old designs and added new ones that can now be found on Zazzle as postage, cards and t-shirts.
Coincidentally, I am now forever linked to Groundhog Day — my first grandchild was born on February 2, 2000.
Looking forward to another great Groundhog day! Enjoy!
