HEY DUDE

 Have you tried Hey Dude shoes yet? If not, you are missing out! I recently ordered my first pair of Hey Dudes, and within an hour of wearing them, I ordered two more. They are so comfortable! They are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have wide feet and often the side of my big toe and my little toe are red and sore at the end of the day from being cramped and rubbing on the seam of my shoe. This is not the case with Hey Dude. They were a bit snug at first, but very quickly they formed to my feet. I worked all day, on my feet most of the day, and my heels didn't hurt when I got home. You seriously have to try these! I used to work in the medical field and these would have been perfect. Also, they are so light, and quiet, that you can totally sneak up on people. It is like walking on clouds. 

Here is the description as listed by the company:

• Made in the USA or Imported

• Synthetic sole

• Rounded Toe Design and Flex & Fold: This supports healthy feet with its unique shape giving complete freedom of movement. The Hey Dude Wendy will be an instant favorite in your modern-casual shoe collection and are the ideal women’s shoes.

• Lightweight with Elastic Laces: Manufactured using an elastic material that allows them to flex with the foot, resulting in a shoe that fits more uniformly. Each shoe weighs under 5 ounces making it one of the lightest pairs of shoes around. The ideal Hey Dude Shoes for Women that you will surely love!

Consider a Paint-by-Number When Needing a Meaningful Gift

I recently started doing these paint-by-numbers. I have always wanted to paint pictures, but I am not that talented. I came across the paint-by-number while looking for a housewarming gift for my childhood friend. I wanted to do something nice for her to cheer her up and show her how loved she was. She suffered a great tragedy in 2020 when she lost her entire family. She was feeling alone and slipping into a great depression. I don't think I could have survived the horrors she faced that year. She was able to get her childhood home from her parent's estate and I wanted to give her something special. When we were little girls, she wanted to grow up and be a ballerina, she had this music box with a spinning ballerina in it. When I came across this paint-by-number, I knew this was what I wanted to do for her. Sure, I didn't come up with the design, and I am not terribly talented, but the time and love that I put into this paint-by-number meant more to her than anything else I could have bought to give her. She cried when I gave it to her because I remembered her ballerina dreams when nobody else was alive to remember. There are tons of paint-by-numbers on amazon to choose from. I would recommend getting one that is already framed because trying to stretch this ballerina painting onto a frame myself wasn't the easiest process. If you do decide to frame one yourself, I recommend stretching it onto a frame BEFORE you paint. As you can see, there are still some wrinkles that developed after I stretched it, I had a hard time doing it alone, so get someone to help if you do end up stretching it yourself.

HELLO FROM ARENDELLE

OK, so I'm not really in Arendelle, but we got so much snow yesterday it seems like it. Unfortunately, it's just Kansas weather and tomorrow it will probably be summer. I just recently launched my Teespring store and wanted to make a quick post, well actually my first post on the new blog, and drop a link to my store. Right now I am doing shirts, hoodies, and leggings, but other stuff will be coming soon. I have a few designs up now and more coming in the near future, so keep checking back. I will also start posting them here and they are on my twitter feed. If you would like to see them as they post, you can join my FB group Artimisha Designs. 
This is the link to my Storefront.
