All This is Worth it

The other day I may or may not have had a total melt down. Said melt down might have included downing an entire bag of mini eggs (ya know, not the 1oz bag but that huge muthah of a bag that costo has once a year....yeah...that) as well as watching Real Housewives re-runs to make myself feel better (what? Those bitches are insane. Watching other people be cray helps me be less cray--kay?) (PS-promise to never say "cray" again) (Cray) (sorry, its out of my system now, girls scouts honor)

While looking at the speckled eggs in my hand in all their chocolatey glory (seriously cadbury how do you make a mini egg so amazing?) I realized something. All the stress. All the "what ifs". All the "what on god's green earth am I doing?" is all worth it. In the end something amazing will come from me riding for free on the hot mess express these past few months (I have ridden the hot mess express so many times that my card has 9 punches on it, the 10th punch is on the house!) (mom, are you proud? Your little girl gets to ride a fictitious train for free)

That's where the inspiration for this print came from. No matter what you're going through: A recent move across the country, giving birth to a new baby, changing jobs, leaving something that isn't good for you, going to a new school....it's all worth it. Each and every little bit of it is completely worth it all.

OH HAY BY THE WAY (that rhymed)

As you know I announced on my facebook that we are releasing a pre-order for a newly designed Yellow Heart Art T-shirt. You all voted and picked charcoal gray as a color you want to see as our new Tee! The design isn't released yet but there will be a limited number of T-shirts available. We are giving away coupon codes to the first 15 people who email me (yellowheartart at gmail dot com) to ONLY be used on the t-shirt when the pre-sale goes live. This code will not be available for any other products in our shop. USE SUBJECT LINE "T-SHIRT CODE" WHEN EMAILING ME.

If this is a hit you will be seeing more Yellow Heart Art Ts in our shop! SO STOKED!

NEW PRINT: You can help hurricane sandy victims

As some of you may know I live on Long Island, one of the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. I wanted to do something to try to help with the relief efforts to get us back to a sense of "normalcy". You can read about my previous post on Sandy here.

I created this limited edition print where proceeds from this artwork will go to Hurricane Sandy Relief.

I Can Handle Anything by Yellow Heart Art

Please do not feel pressured to purchase this print if you do not have the funds right now, you can also help by spreading the word about this print to your friends on your facebook, twitter or blog. I appreciate any and all help!

As of yesterday I still have power, its been a little spotty but I think that is because they are still working on restoring the other blocks in my neighborhood. Most of my family and friends will still be with out power for up to another week. The temperatures are starting to drop from the 40's to the 30's and now possibly 20's. They have no heat and we are trying any and all ways to keep them warm during this time. Thank you all again for the continued support and kind comments/emails/tweets. Your positive spirits have helped keep me in a positive frame of mind, I love you all!
