Update: As of 3/16/26, I have had to cancel my participation in the Desert Arts Festival this weekend, March 21st & 22nd, due to extreme heat in the Desert as I don’t do well in the heat. As of the moment, my next show will be in April 11th & 12th in Paso Robles. Stay tuned for any updates by visiting my EVENTS page.  Thank you and stay cool!

Need a great gift idea? My Notepads have been very popular for funny and inexpensive gifts – whether you need snarky-themed (very popular), fashion, sports, yoga, or just uplifting and positive messages.  My popular, Multi-Colored Boxed Note Heart Series is also available. This colorful heart design is very versatile to have on hand (and comes in six bright colors) if you love to keep a stash of bright, blank cards for a last-minute occasion-send. I hope you check them out!

I opened a Zazzle store where I now have Latte Mugs with my whimsical characters and popular sayings. They are the only items not sold directly from my website because I am not in charge of producing and shipping them. There are over 66 designs to choose from – so if you are curious to check them out, here is the link to my store – they are quite fun! https://www.zazzle.com/store/curmudgeoncards.

If you’d like inside scoop about my life, consider signing up for my FREE FRIDAY NEWSLETTER as I love to entertain you with great stories and timely opportunities (including special discounts) that many of my readers enjoy reading about – as well as upcoming events I will be participating in.

My stories help you get to know me better and understand how my life lessons get translated into the messages and drawings I put into my illustrated designs. I often include reviews of Audible books or podcasts I’m listening to – or TV and films I have recently enjoyed. I love to spotlight other artists and business creatives whose work feels timely and exciting to share. Newsletter subscribers also get a 1st-look preview of my latest designs. You can, of course, easily unsubscribe at any time should it not be to your liking.

I upload NEW Handmade designs every week so please check back often!  I welcome custom requests for handmade topics and countries – so if you don’t see something, please let me know as I have a HUGE inventory of stamps and am also available for custom orders for illustrations.  You just need to fill out the topic order form or send an email to me at info@curmudgeoncards.com and I can take a picture of stamps in my current inventory so you can decide if it’s something you might like.

I love what I do and enjoy sharing my designs with you! Thank you for enjoying my Muse.
