"Those watching the scale beware. Augment the diet for National Greasy Foods Day on October 25th. Although not the healthiest of choices, every once in a while, it is okay to enjoy some greasy food. From fried chicken, pizza, nachos, and french fries to bacon and hash brown potatoes, we all like a treat in our regular diet. Cooking oil types include: Olive oil – Palm oil – Soybean oil – Canola oil – Pumpkin oil – Corn oil – Sunflower oil – Safflower oil – Peanut oil – Grapeseed oil – Sesame oil – Agran oil – Rice bran oil – Other vegetable oils – Butter and lard. Oil may be flavored with aromatic flavorings such as herbs, chilies, or garlic. Greasy foods can be prepared with healthier oils and with much less than average amounts of oil used when cooking, making them much healthier choices. For the educators and homeschoolers, National Day Calendar tested an assignment in our own classroom and made the material ready for you to use."
My notes: We need some healthy fats in our diets but don't overdo it lol

"Chucky, the Notorious Killer Doll Day is observed annually on October 25th. For those who aren’t Chucky fans, you have a pass. All others, get your popcorn and beverages of choice and hit play! Some who celebrate, dress up as Chucky. Those who collect Chucky merchandise add to their collection. Others, take a thrill in learning new behind-the-scene facts or reading up on Chucky fan pages. This creepy horror flick staple of the 1980s has a full name – Charles Lee Ray. And he gets it from three real-life and notorious killers. Can you guess who they are? Horror films often have a crossover interest. Whether an actor, character or element bleeds over into another film, fans love to pick up on the nuances. This time of year, film buffs and Halloween fans meet. This holiday brings them together under one banner of fear, thrills, and trivia."
My notes: Just in time for Halloween! I remember watching some of the older Chucky movies & they were not for the faint-hearted. Has any of you watched them?

"Sourest Day follows on the heels of Sweetest Day. This sourest day of the year is observed annually on October 25th. If life is giving you lemons or you feel like a grumpy Gus, this day is for you. Take your glass-half-full attitude and spread the joy -er- gloom. Smiles be banished! Replace them all with pouts and terrible frowns. Wallow in your petulant mood. Take sulking to new lows. Frown like a clown catching the midnight train outta town. Develop a harrumph worth trademarking. Scowl so foul that people will catch a whiff of it before they even see you. When walking by a skein of yarn, it should leap onto your brow already knitted. That’s just how sour you need to be on this day."
My notes: I would skip this day personally lol

"International Artist’s Day on October 25 honors artists and all the contributions they make. The day also celebrates one of the most famous artists, Pablo Picasso. The Spanish artist was born on October 25th, 1881. Artists work hard to create their work. They add beauty to the world around us. Most artists work with many different mediums. Not only that, but the word artist encompasses painters, photographers, sculptors, musicians, dancers, writers, actors, digital artists, and more. When one is born with a creative gift, that creativity flows into many different areas. For example, Picasso was a painter, sculptor, ceramicist, poet, and playwright." My notes: Who likes art? What do you like to do? I've never been that good at it. Wish I was! lammchen

Woo Hoo!! Currently I'm more into graphic design using Canva than doing any drawing like I used to do. Here's the latest piece I'm working on for an event in December (I am adding watermarks to my designs because they've been stolen by some other sites before):

Nice work on the Secret Santa image ! Myself, I don't do a whole lot, except the occasional pixel art - but I wish all artists a happy International Artists' Day .

I am adding watermarks to my designs .... Do you sell your designs? It was hard to tell when I went to your forum as a guest.

Here's the latest piece I'm working on for an event in December (I am adding watermarks to my designs because they've been stolen by some other sites before): I like the blue colors. Makes it look "cold" like a snowflake would be.
How do you add watermarks? I think that's a great idea too so it can't be stolen. Can you redo the watermark at anytime?

I tried being artsy, even tried doing simple themes. I failed lol Do you sell your designs? It was hard to tell when I went to your forum as a guest. That's a good question! One way to make a bit of extra money too lammchen

I do sell some of my graphics (it's under the Package Depot in the Graphics Service). I'm always willing to work out deals with people on images if they can't afford to pay full price. Posting around the site is always helpful in addition to partial cash payment.

The watermark I added is just text and then using the Transparency bar, I slide it down so it's barely visible.
