Snowy Pine & Berries

These lined and plain printable

graphics are a good size for

writing a note, or maybe a family

recipe. I like displaying this size

on vintage clipboards.

This printable sheet of 4

graphics would be a great size

for teacher notes or labels.

These tags were made using a small

section of the original image. When

layering I like to keep something

simple. Here it's the color palette.

...

He knew at last that he had been a fool,
To think of breaking the forest rule,
And choosing a dress himself to please,
Because he envied the other trees.

But it couldn't be helped, it was now too late,
He must make up his mind to a leafless fate!

So he let himself sink in a slumber deep,
But he moaned and he tossed in his troubled

sleep, Till the morning touched him with joyful

beam, And he woke to find it was all a dream.

For there in his evergreen dress he stood,
A pointed fir in the midst of the wood!

His branches were sweet with the balsam smell,
His needles were green when the white snow

fell. And always contented and happy was he,
The very best kind of a Christmas tree."

- Henry Van Dyke -

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,

And a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,

A faithful friend to share,

For every sigh a sweet song,

And an answer for each prayer.

"'Tis better to have

loved and lost than never

to have loved at all."

~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson ~

Alight with laughter ~ Heart's ease

"For pansies are,

I think, the little gleams

of children's visions from

a world of dreams. Jewels

of innocence and joy and

mirth, alight with laughter

as they fall to earth."

~ R.C. Lehmann ~

The pansy image featured

in this notecard & bookmark

set, was from the book Heart's

ease, published in 1909.

Definition of heart's ease:

1. peace of mind
2. the pansy or other plant

of the genus Viola...

In Victorian times, pansies meant

thoughts or remembrance.  If you

received a bouquet of pansies,

someone was thinking of you.
