I had wanted to make a thumb up symbol and when I got around to it, I decided to make it green. Since I love gardening and growing fresh herbs and veggies, I thought Yeah; it was such a natural fit. The green thumb does represent gardeners.
Although I chose to make this painting about gardening, the green thumb can also simply represent yes. The choice is yours.
If you do have a green thumb type gardening business or are making one, here are some business cards and tshirts to help get you started.
The design is also on the front of the tshirt, and the additional contact info is on the back.
Template forms are provided on both items for you to easily personalize the items for your business, etc.
Thank you for shopping CherylsArt on Zazzle.

Okay, Ok tshirts and more
I had told my daughter that I was going to make a new hand design, one with the symbol for okay.
She told me that the hand symbol for okay had other meanings to it that weren't necessarily so good.
So I did some research on it and found that yes, the symbol was being used for other meanings, but I also noticed that the direction of the hand was different for these so called other meanings.
I decided that okay means okay. And to clear up any confusion with the original intent, I added the word, ok, spelled with two letters, on the hand painting; so if there was any doubt or wondering, the person or persons could also just read the letters.
It is time for okay, or ok, to mean okay.
By the way, I used my own hand print to make this positive affirmation design.
This hand print design is ready for purchase on tshirts at my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.com.
When on Zazzle, you can also transfer this design onto other products; I will also be adding it to more products myself, on Zazzle.
You can also purchase this ok hand design on products that are printed by 3dRose. 3dRose products can currently be found on their 3dRose site as well as Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair, that I know of. To locate this design on the actual 3dRose site, go to 3dRose, click on the type of product that you would like the design on - found in the left hand column, then on the next menu - scroll down to CherylsArt Hands.

Carousel Horse Baby Blankets Bibs and More
Here you will find a cute collection of baby blankets, bibs, and burp cloths, for baby. You will also find pillows, lamps, and clocks, for the nursery. Each are decorated with my painting of a pretty, gray carousel horse. I have always loved the look of carousel horses.
The items for baby can also be easily personalized with baby's name on the provided template forms.
The horse is gray and white and is realistic looking. It is wearing a saddle that is decorated with carrots and the blanket under the saddle is decorated with apples. I wanted to decorate them with treats that horses like to eat.
The background that I chose is an aqua green, though you can customize it and choose any color of your selection.
Here is a closeup of the painting on a burp cloth for baby.
Here is the collection featuring the items that I have designed so far. I have also designed a matching baby shower invitation which will be coming soon. It should probably be available by November 15, 2024, and it will be part of the collection.

Info for the Baby Sitter Dry Erase Sheets
These dry erase boards can serve as a convenient way to provide information for your baby sitter. You can fill write in any information that will change from time to time. You can customize it with any information that will remain constant by typing text, such as your cell phone number.
There can be so much to think about when the new baby arrives, and one helpful thing is to have a ready to fill in form for the baby sitter. I remembered back to the days when I was a new mom, and these are the kinds of things that I thought would be important for the baby sitter to know. A sturdy form with info that remained the same, would have been very helpful.
This form is printed on a magnetic sheet, which makes them easy to place on the refrigerator. The form can be easily customized with the information that is pertinent to you, or you can go with what I have already filled in.
I filled in a line for the names, for who the baby sitter is baby sitting for. If the baby sitter is concerned about something and needs to call the parents, it can be helpful for them to easily refer to the name that is printed on the dry erase sheet.
There is also a spot for a backup number, should the baby sitter not be able to reach the parents or care givers.
There are also extra lines for additional things that may not need to be listed every time, but something you want to mention for a specific date, i.e. no food after a certain hour, in bed by a certain time, etc.
So feel free to customize to make this work for you. They also make great baby shower gifts for the new parents.
If you are more a free style thinker, this lined form will give you more flexibility in what you want to write. This design is shown on an actual dry erase board; you can choose the backing on it, whether it be magnetic strips, adhesive, or no backing.

Art on Products: A Word Fitly Spoken, magnets, etc.
My thought:
One of the most important verses in the Bible, Proverbs 25:11, says, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
That means to speak with kindness. What we say and how we say it has great impact, so it's always best to be kind. And that includes how we talk to ourselves! Do you agree? Leave a comment below in the comment section.
I like associating affirmations with pictures; so I created the apple of gold on a background of silver image, to go along with this verse. I like skimming down my poster of images with a short one or two word text below each one. It's a quick and easy way to reinforce affirmations.
I also place affirmation magnets on my fridge. I like checking those out as well. You'll find the word fitly spoken verse on a variety of products below to help make your affirmation life easier.
Magnets:
A convenient reminder are refrigerator magnets. Just place one at or near eye level on your fridge for an easy daily reminder.
Keychains:
It can be nice to carry along an extra reminder. A keychain with this enlightening verse on it, provides a convenient and easy way to read these words whenever you're out and about and grab for your keys.
These keychains come in a choice of styles and sizes.
Postcards with two bookmarks:
If you would like to share this verse with multiple friends and relatives, these postcards are a convenient way to share. The front side of the postcard features two bookmarks that can be cut apart.
Tote bags:
Tote bags are great to use when going shopping, and or to carry papers and or books. A reusable tote bag also offers others a fun way to read the affirmation too.
Benefits:
Having an image to associate with an affirmation is an easy way to help remember the affirmation. Over time, just by seeing the image, the verse can automatically come to mind. I have been using and reading affirmations that I have associated with pictures over quite a few years. I find that it's an easier way to recall, remember, and use them. It can also help me have added positive feelings when I'm seeing the image too.
Add the benefit of images to your affirmation life to see if they work for you. They can also make great gift items.
You can find more Proverbs designs on magnets, mugs, and more at CherylsArt on Zazzle.
Thank you; and sending loving blessings to you.

Red Apple Gift Tags for Teacher Gifts
These gift tags are made especially for teachers, and can also be customized as a gift tag for anyone.
The three different apple paintings were done by me. In this first one, the apple is more narrow and is decorated with some freckles. The text on the front says, Best Teacher.
This next apple is a little wider, with orange and yellow highlights. The text on the front says, A+ Teacher.
This third design is a great choice for art teachers, as it features a pretty red apple painting done in pointillism. It includes the text - Thank you for being my teacher.
Whichever design you choose, the text can be customized.
Thank you for rewarding your teacher(s) and for your patronage.

Happy Saint Nicholas Day Holiday Cards
Here you will find Happy Saint Nicholas Day, holiday cards. Have you ever wanted to say something different in lieu of Merry Christmas? Perhaps the old greeting no longer applies to you for one reason or another, or you're totally in tune with celebrating the spirit of giving, the Saint Nicholas way.
As a kid, I believed in both Santa Claus and Jesus Christ. I remember staring out of my bedroom window late at night on Christmas Eve hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa in his sleigh and his reindeer flying across sky in front of the moon. I also prayed to my perception of God.
Later I realized that Santa (the image portrayed on TV and in most books) was a fictional character, and that there was an actual person, Saint Nicholas, who Santa was fashioned after. Saint Nicholas was an ordinary man who left bags of clothing, etc. on peoples porches, to help them out.
When I was in my thirties, I made a birthday cake with Happy Birthday Jesus on it, as I pulled away from celebrating Santa. But, then lo and behold, I found out that baby Jesus wasn't born in the winter months. I found out that early Christian priests had wanted to convert more people; they wanted more people to attend their churches. The priests thought that the celebration that was already occurring in December was an easy way to promote their agenda. That served as a wake up call for me.
That was actually years ago; and then one night I had an epiphany. Since Christmas and Santa Claus had somehow got mixed together, I thought it might be refreshing to actually give homage to what the original holiday or celebration was about; gift giving. - The man, Saint Nicholas, had started the idea of giving gifts by delivering sacks of goods to various families. He didn't even plan for it to catch on, he was just doing a good deed. It's was as simple as that, simple gift giving - from the heart.
I know that the image of Santa, Saint Nicholas, has also changed over the years. For now, I went with the image that I am familiar with, the man in a red suit with a white beard. I still choose to celebrate gift giving. It's a great way to show kindness to one another. And having a designated day of the year helps more people to get on board and to celebrate giving to one another.
So if you would like to join me in wishing people a happy Saint Nicholas Day, here you go; I appreciate you joining me. By the way, Saint Nicholas Day is December 6 every year.
The Santa image on the card is made from my pointillism painting that I did. Hope you enjoy it.
And on that note, I wish you and yours, a Happy Saint Nicholas Day.
If you are broadening your thoughts on the myriad of other ways to celebrate the winter holidays, this design is for you. This card features a variety of holiday symbols to cover a variety of beliefs and ways to celebrate them. For truly, there are many reasons for the season.
