Today’s featured item is this blank greeting card that I call “Expressive”. It was digitally painted by me and its bright colors and abstract design really epitomizes how I feel when I am happy. It is suitable for just about any occasion and with the great Zazzle options you can even add your own text, etc to personalize it!

It only took one visit to the Painted Hills in Eastern Oregon (about 9 miles west of Mitchell) for me to fall in love with the area. Gorgeous color layers against a brilliant blue sky, unexpected combinations, a sunny day and easy access to view it all – what more could you want? Some day I will go back, hopefully when they get what little rain they do so I can see the hills with the pastel/gold colors the information plaques/leaflets stated occur. Unsurprisingly, I took hundreds of pictures and decided to collect a few together to create this 12 month calendar for 2010. This makes a great office gift and will add a spark of color to any drab cubicle or workspace!

This is a lovely postage stamp design featuring a pink butterfly with an abstract flair! We sold a few packs of them recently – they had been customized in one way or another and we are very happy someone liked them enough to purchase. These also have a matching invitation card available as well.

As with the shoes mentioned in a previous post, I also decided to buy some cards as well – my birthday was on the 28th and I have a few people to thank for gifts, so what better way than to customize one of my greeting cards with one of my favorite sepia toned tulip photograph designs. Currently it is a “Thinking of You” card but with just a few quick moments I was able to change it to a Thank You card and even added a nice quote by Mark Twain to make it just a bit more individualized. Once they arrive I’ll be able to add a personal note to each person and I couldn’t be more pleased with the opportunity to say thanks with something I’ve created from top to bottom.

We had another sale in our stationery gallery and this went to a return customer who reordered this business card (customized to their needs of course) and we couldn’t be more pleased! Designing business cards is definitely fun, but its even better when not only purchases them but likes them enough to purchase more!

I don’t just attempt to sell the designs I create, I also enjoy purchasing them too and here is one of the shoe designs I’ve made that I recently bought. I’m still waiting for it to arrive (should be soon!) and I’m just pleased as punch at how it has the comfort of a sneaker yet is snappy enough to be worn in a business/business casual environment!

We recently sold a copy of one of our favorite magnets, the “Portland – City of Roses” magnet. I really like this image as it portrays our beautiful city nicely – lovely skyline, pretty clear day and a gorgeous view of the Willamette River!

It is not just about photography here at our Zazzle gallery, we have also been playing around a bit with fractals and in the process we came up with this particular design which I think is rather interesting. It certainly adds a unique accent piece to the business card design we have available for purchase!

The first week of June, my boyfriend and I finally made good on a trip that we have been wanting to go on for a couple years now. We have been looking forward to heading into Eastern Oregon and checking out all three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument and a few other side trips as well. We have since returned and I can say it was one of the best vacations I’ve had. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, the small towns had some of the nicest people and of course you can’t beat getting away from work for an entire week.
Of all our stops on the trip, the Painted Hills Unit of the fossil beds was by far my favorite. The beauty of the area was unmatched and it is simply amazing to know that something so lovely is in our backyard. All three of the units had excellent trails with interesting information to learn about how the various colors were created, what types of environments the area used to host and what types of fossils have been found to date. I was also very impressed and quite happy to see that they had a full complement of recycling options – not just cans and paper, but glass and plastic as well.
As anyone who has followed the random updating of this blog knows, we are very involved with Zazzle and so of course, this trip has been a treasure trove of photographic opportunities. In fact, I have only managed to get through a mere 10th of the photos I’ve taken so far. Interspersed througout this particular blog are links that will show you some of the beauty that we were treated to, which are also available for purchase on our Zazzle gallery in postcard, card or postage stamp form.
So if you’ve ever wondered whether there is something worth checking out in Eastern Oregon, I say yes and give a huge thumbs up to taking a few days to visit the various fossil beds.
Mitchell, OR is the closest town to the Painted Hills Unit and it offers a limited amount of lodgings – I do highly recommend the Oregon Hotel however – the proprietors are very nice and if you spend the extra money on a kitchenette you’ll be assured more privacy and won’t need to worry about sharing a bathroom with other guests.
I haven’t visited in the winter, but I hear they get a good amount of snow and ice, so I’d suggest late spring through early fall as the best time to go. As I mentioned we went the first week of June and were treated to gorgeously sunny days, with VERY high temps (85-95) and generally a short rain shower coming in around 4pm-6pm.
We have definitely put it on a “must return” vacation list. With views like these, its easy to see why!
