It’s hard to believe the Christmas season is right around the corner. I’ve been giving a lot of thought as to how I will give back this year. I really feel a close connection to my local community and certain non-profit organizations that provide awesome services to protect and improve our little slice of tropical paradise we call Palm Beach County Florida—my favorite place to live and play. I’ve come up with a great idea! Keep scrolling to learn more…

Duis aliquet ornare dolor, id accumsan risus iaculis eget. In finibus auctor tellus. Cras accumsan est in ex porttitor, ac malesuada urna placerat. Vestibulum sed tortor ac odio accumsan iaculis ac sit amet sapien. Integer at lorem eget neque cursus vehicula. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; In velit nulla, hendrerit id metus vel, ullamcorper molestie orci.

A while back I shared with you my adorable tropical mini notecards in an article titled The Inspiration Behind My Tropical Watercolor Art. Since then I’ve created additional notecards with beautiful botanicals including a bird of paradise, a palm tree and cacti. See all my mini notecard designs here. I thought, what better way to help these organizations than to donate packs of my notecards—at no cost—so they can offer them for sale?

It really feels good to give! The passion I have for my craft shines through in these original designs and they reflect a message of tranquility that speaks to people everywhere. The following are the organizations that I have chosen to give back to because they have helped to inspire these designs: The Lighthouse Art Center, Loggerhead Marine Life Center, Mounts Botanical Garden and Christ Fellowship Church.

You can help me to support these organizations by visiting your favorite one between September 1, 2019 and January 1, 2020 and purchasing my mini notecards with island green envelopes in packs of 5 for $6.20 from their gift stores. Each bundle of cards is packaged in eco friendly clear bags and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to their cause.

As a passionate artist, lover of our planet, and a spiritualist, these organizations truly speak to me. If you’re not able to visit one of these gift shops and are interested in my mini notecards, or any of my artwork available in fine art, prints, printed stationary and printables, check out VG Invites on Etsy, DIY Invitation Divas on Etsy or VG Invites on Zazzle. There’s something for everyone, especially at this time of year.

Thank you for helping me support our local charities. I hope this will inspire you to give back to your favorite charity this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!
