Happy May Day

May 1, 2007 by JGoode

Growing up, May Day was a fun little sneaky kind of day. My friends and I would make little goodie bags filled with candy and tied with pretty bows. Sometimes we’d even pick flowers to include in the gift. We’d then go around the neighborhood knockin on doors and then running to hide while the recipients found a sweet treat at their doorstep.

I never knew (nor cared) why we participated in such a sweet lil’ game… it was just something fun to do.

According to an array of resources online, May Day has a variety of purposes, origins and traditions. From political to seasonal to religious, May 1st seems to be important to a huge number of peoples around the globe.

I personally like my version best…

Surprise someone with a treat just because you can; besides, it not only makes someone else smile, you’ll probably giggle a bit too.

Today is World Penguin Day! Celebrate our favorite little birdie pals and take a moment to pass the love on to others.

What is World Penguin Day?

“World Penguin Day coincides with the annual northward migration of penguins. This happens each year on or around April 25th. Penguins do not fly. Rather, they walk, or waddle their way to and from.” ~www.holidayinsights.com

Mom is Great!

We love our mommas because they have loved us for so long… so I have one thought for all the moms to stand tall and proud:

Some thoughts about mom…

A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a mother’s work is never done. ~Author Unknown

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. ~Irish Proverb

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. ~Attributed to Claudia Ghandi

Mother’s Day is May 13th. JGoode Designs is celebrating moms around the world with a variety of fabulously fun doodles for mom. Check ’em out!
