Lollipop Day - 20th July

Yesterday we celebrated Lollipop Day. 

"Lollipops, a sweet concoction of sugar and flavoring, has existed since the times of Ancient Egypt. Lollipops, although not called that at the time, have been used not only as a sweet dessert but also as a way to distribute medicine to kids.

Nowadays, people enjoy lollipops whenever they have a sweet tooth coming on, so why not make a holiday about it! Lollipop Day celebrates the invention of the lollipop, how it brightens every childhood and makes everyone happy! "

For this occasion I made very popular lollipop/rosette/wand card in very bright colors. I used here Happy Birthday collection by P13. I also made a card in oval shape. It will be great gift to some lovely girl.

Bloomsday

Today in Ireland we celebrate Bloomsday. What is Bloomsday? 

"Bloomsday celebrates Thursday 16 June 1904, the day depicted in James Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The day is named after Leopold Bloom, the central character in Ulysses. The novel follows the life and thoughts of Leopold Bloom and a host of other characters – real and fictional – from 8am on 16 June 1904 through to the early hours of the following morning.

Celebrations often include dressing up like characters from the book and in clothes that would have been the style of the era. One of the hallmark fancy dress items of Bloomsday is the straw boater hat. Celebrations come in many different forms like readings, performances and visiting the places and establishments referenced in the book. Bloomsday Breakfast is another common celebration, which involves eating the same breakfast as Leopold Bloom consumes on the morning of 16 June. This includes liver and kidneys alongside the typical ingredients of an Irish fried breakfast". 

So for this occasion I decided to make male theme card. I used a lot of clocks cut out from Junk Book which symbolise year 1904. I added also some old camera and balloons, everything in vintage style. 

I made short video tutorial for you

Picnic Day

Today I'm coming with another day to celebrate... because you never have enough days to celebrate. On the 23th of April we celebrate National Picnic Day. 

"There are a variety of ways to take part in a picnic.  This meal hearkens back to mid-18th-century al fresco French dining when all you needed was a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, some cheese and fruit and you could have a party under the sky. In fact, our modern-day idea of a picnic evolved from Medieval hunting feasts and Victorian garden parties. These were usually quite sophisticated affairs, which involved multiple courses and elaborate preparations. Today, picnics are usually casual meals enjoyed on a comfortable picnic blanket. From barbecues to simple cold plates, picnics are light informal affairs intended to be relaxing and fun for everyone to enjoy the day."

Let's celebrate and have a picnic in our homes on the living room floor! Why not!!!

Waffle day

Do you know that today we celebrate Waffle Day? 

"Waffle Day (Swedish: Våffeldagen) is a tradition that is celebrated in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, on March 25, which is also the Feast of the Annunciation, upon which waffles are typically eaten. The shift from the religious celebration to Waffle Day occurred because the Swedish Vårfrudagen, meaning "Our Lady's Day" (the Feast of the Annunciation), sounds similar to Våffeldagen ("waffle day") in faster speech, and so over time Swedes began calling it Waffle Day and celebrating by eating waffles.

 In Norway, where Waffle Day was all but unknown until producers of waffle irons, milk and flour started to promote waffle day in the mid-2010s.  In the United States, National Waffle Day is celebrated in August to commemorate the date of a U.S. patent on a waffle iron". Wikipedia

So it doesn't matter what day are you going to choose to celebrate, it's great occasion to make and eat waffles... or to make them out of air dry clay (using play dough toy) and use it as a center of exploding box?
