Friday Freebie: Be Creative Wallpaper

It's FRIDAY! Yes. It. Is.

I've got a sweet little freebie for you today: a downloadable wallpaper for your computer (and iPhone 5). One of the things I love about weekends is the time I get to spend with my husband, kids and Aggie-doodle. I also love being able to create something just for fun. This inspired me to give my readers something to spark creativity in their day! So, here you go... free downloadable wallpaper for your screen. I've sized it to fit a few different sizes in the hopes that most anyone will find a size right for their screen. I also included an iPhone 5 size for fun.

Select the size you need below.


If you'd rather print it for framing, just click here!


Wishing you all a VERY creative weekend!
Cheers,

City Mouse for the Day

"Spring", "central park", "nablopomo", "nyc"Easton Place
My niece and her boyfriend have been visiting this past week. It's been such a wonderful visit. They're heading back to college tomorrow so we topped off their vacation with a trip into New York City. I'm not going to lie... I'm exhausted! We walked the entire day. It was so worth it though, especially with the weather as amazing as it was today! The sun was warm, the sky was the perfect color of blue, trees were showing their buds and Central Park was perfection. I loved seeing the miniature sailboats on the pond (which immediately reminded me of "Stuart Little" by E.B. White). I love hearing all the different languages being spoken as we walked along the city streets. The smell of sweet roasted nuts on nearly every corner was deliciously intoxicating! The city was definitely on it's best behavior this fine Spring day. I took several photos today, but the two below are among my favorites!

I hope you had a great day. If you ever get the chance to visit New York City in the Spring, please do! You'll love it!



Today is day 24 of NaBloPoMo and I'm barely getting this post in while it's still day 24... but I've done it! 24 straight days of blogging. I've almost reached my goal!

Cheers!

National Letter Writing Month, 2014

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I nearly missed the fact that April is National Letter Writing Month! In a slight defense of myself, it's been a really busy month. Holidays, Spring Break, family visiting, writing a blog post everyday this month, regattas nearly every weekend, running a household and a business... whew! April has been a fabulously busy month. That stated, it's still tragic that I didn't pay better attention to a recognition so important to my business; Letter Writing!

The month is not over so there's still time to write and mail letters. There are 8 days left in the month and I vow to write and post 2 letters per day (on average). Some days might have 3 or 4 letters posted, and some of those days don't have postal service. Sixteen letters written and posted before May 1, 2014 may sound like a big task, but it's not impossible. I certainly have more than 16 loved ones and friends that would enjoy a handwritten note from me, right?

Who would like to join me in paying tribute to National Letter Writing month? Even if you write a handful of letters and post them, that would be fun! As a fun gift for the remaining days of April, I will include with every order of stationery purchased from Easton Place, a coordinating pen and a set of Easton Place pencils at no charge! NOW, who's with me?

Let me know if you decide to join in the letter writing fun!
