Merry Slothmas in July!
It's time once again for our annual Christmas in July celebration! We love this silly, light-hearted tradition because it gives our friends in the southern hemisphere a chance to celebrate "Christmas" while enjoying cool temps... and it gives those of us in the northern hemisphere a chance to dream of snow flurries and festive, colored lights while we are sweltering!
This year's theme is Merry Slothmas. How adorable is this sloth design, complete with sea shell ornaments and festive lights?!
Additionally, we're sharing a cookie recipe that we think you'll love and that is perfect for celebraing in the heat of summer! Enjoy!
Meet the artist
Jess
My name is Jess, I’m 32 and I create greeting cards and other little works of art I’m inspired to. In 2016 I developed a rare migraine condition called New Daily Persistent Headaches (NDPH) which is a headache/migraine that starts out of the blue one day and never goes away, it’s there when you wake up, when you are asleep…always.
Because of this, I was able to turn my love of art and my love of making greeting cards for friends and family into a small business. It’s been such a game changer to have art in my life again and to be able to share it with others. So whether you’re a fellow artist, a fellow chronically ill warrior like me, a sponsor, or simply a beautiful fan of art and life, I hope you’ll say hi.
