Happy April Fools Day
I've been a bit lazy with my blog lately. So sorry. I kind of checked out there for bit but I promise to be better......No Foolin. 😘
I'm not much of a prankster but if any of you are, have fun today, but be safe and kind with your tricks.
Today is also National Handmade Day and I choose to focus on that. I'm going to get to my desk and create, not that I don't do that nearly every day.
Handmade Day was suggested by Amy Bierstedt of the From Scratch Farm website in 2017 and had its official celebration the following year, on April 7, 2018. In just a few short years, National Handmade Day has grown in popularity to include support from local shops as well as national companies, like Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Celebrated each year on the first Saturday in the month of April, National Handmade Day brings with it an ideal opportunity to show appreciation for those who are creative and inspirational with their handmade products. Instead of purchasing items that are mass-produced, take time on National Handmade Day to support local artisans with their handmade crafts. It’s a wonderful way to be more sustainable and supportive of the community..
When buying gifts, even things for myself, I love buying handmade items and supporting small business. I love giving and receiving handmade gifts as well. They just seem so much more personal and meaningful.
Well, it's time to get to that desk but just one more thing. Today is also National Cent Day....Penny for your thoughts. 😁
I love handmade items too! Each year it's my goal to make as many hand made gifts that I can. I start working on my Christmas gifts in January and work all year to make handmade items for family and friends. It's the best!
ReplyDeleteI agree and I'm sure those gifts you give ate especially appreciated.
