Fancy Pants, Lucille Ball, and Election Day
So what am I going on about now? I've got some things to share with you! The connections between these topics are there (although very loose) if you look for them, and yes, this means I have "some 'splaining to do"!
I'm getting ready to offer several new collections from Fancy Pants Designs , and am really excited about this company and in particular the "About A Boy", "Papa" and "Daydream" lines. (I've got a few pics for you to check out below) The colors and graphics are very unique.....and the visual appeal is tremendous. I'm anxious to get my hands on these papers and start playing, as the creative juices are definitely already flowing!
As I prepared to introduce this new company to you, I did a Google search on Fancy Pants. That's when Lucy showed up. Apparently, she and Bob Hope starred in the 1950 movie "Fancy Pants" together. While I'm not familiar with that movie, I have always loved the irrepressible and spunky Lucy, and so I indulged my curiosity and did some more Google surfing. As I researched her life, I came across many quotes from her that illustrated what she must have been like as a person. Many of her takes on life are similar to my own, which I found surprising. Her funny portrayals as the dizzy, harebrained housewife in "I Love Lucy" don't allow you to see what a smart, tenacious, and pioneering woman she really was!
Among the things that Lucy said that appealed to me are "It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy", and "I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I haven't done". If you'll allow me a quote of the day, here's my pick: "Politics should be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage." On election day, I think it's a sentiment we can all embrace, regardless of our individual political persuasions.
OK, so you may see these topics as related, or you may think I've digressed (probably the latter is the truth of the matter) from one subject to the next. But as you take a look at the papers below, check out the names of these patterns. Does anyone else besides me think that the names of these papers could be used in a discussion about any of the above topics?
"Vivid" (About A Boy, Fancy Pants Design)
"Rockin'" (About A Boy, Fancy Pants Design)
"Peace" (About A Boy, Fancy Pants Design)
"Expression" (About A Boy, Fancy Pants Design)
"Believe" (Daydream, Fancy Pants Design)
"Imagine" (Daydream, Fancy Pants Design)
"Envision" (Daydream, Fancy Pants Design)
"Leader" (Papa, Fancy Pants Design)
"Courageous" (Papa, Fancy Pants Design)
"Adventurer" (Papa, Fancy Pants Design)
And just in case you feel that I may have left some loose ends in this commentary.....on this primary election day I could use your vote for which of these three collections to bring in first! Vote early (and often if you wish) by adding your comment! The collection with the most "super delegate" (meaning you, my readers of course) votes will be shown next week, with special pre-order savings!!
