As you may know, I have been considering separating all my political designs from the main "Carolina Pixel" page, wondering if my political leanings were affecting my business. I had a blind mini-poll on my blog asking my friends to participate.
The final tally was as follows:
8 who were all for keeping it together,
1 not really bothered by it,
1 a little offended would rather not see it,
6 who are terribly offended cuz they lack a funny bone.
I've decided to break it off and set my creativity free. Thank you to all of you who participated in the poll, and a special thank you to a very business savvy lady I greatly respect: Heather O. She is a social media expert, and she recommended I separate it only because it's a very different product. People looking to buy digitally hand-painted portraits might be confused to find bumper stickers and the like on the same site, and vice versa. It makes sense, but above all she recommended I stay true to myself. LOL, I don't think I could hide who I am if I tried. :-)
I hope you, I mean YOU as in the ones with a sense of humor, will join my new page and visit my zazzle store too. If you like what you see, please feel free to recommend me to like-minded friends and spread the conservative luv! ;-)

Happy Birthday Sweetie!
I know it's cliche to say but my how time flies! You weighed a mere 5 pounds 6 ounces when you were born. Just a tiny little thing you left me in awe. I could spend hours on end staring at you. Tens little fingers and ten little toes, a blessing straight from heaven entrusted to ME by the Lord above! I hadn't a clue. I about died the day your belly button fell off. I was burping you on my shoulder when I laid you down it stuck to the burp cloth. I thought I broke you! I warmed your juices cuz I thought everything in a bottle needed to be warm. When it was time for veggies I only fed you orange or yellow ones, carrots being your favorite excluding the green ones. They looked disgusting! The pediatrician noticed the bottom of your tootsies were a tad orange and strongly recommended I add green to your diet. One time I thought you had a fever and rushed you to the doctor only to find out I didn't need to bundle you up to protect you from hot tropical breezes. Who knew? Somehow you lived through my inexperience and we grew up together. And look at you now! I couldn't be more proud of you and the woman you became. You are a far better mom than me. Giuseppe lights up your life just like you lit up mine. Your love for him warms my heart and I love you even more for it. The baby God entrusted to me is all grown up with a baby of her own. My baby no more those days are gone and I think to myself my how time flies.....
