New Denny Lyon Designs: Mother's Day, Birthday: World's Awesome Mom

World's Awesome Mom iPhone 6 Slim Case - $34

From Denny:  The inspiration for this sweet design is the family tree of geneaology.  Even in high school I was collecting family information from all my much older relatives.  Over the years I've been able to verify and document it all as accurate.  How fortunate is that?
 
And who is usually the center of the family?  Mom, of course.  Oh, and in case you are wondering I've also included Mother's Day designs for your favorite Grandma, Aunt, Sister, Cousin and Friend too!  How many of you have enjoyed older women in your life who have mentored you along your life's journey and at work?  

So, be at ease as you shop Denny Lyon Gifts at the Cafe Press site.  Cafe Press has a great reputation in the market place and online.  Profits from Denny Lyon Gifts go to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank (Louisiana, a food bank that meets the needs of almost half of the state) and to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital because they have done so much to help the cancer-stricken children of the Gulf Coast.

New Denny Lyon Designs: Mother's Day: World's Awesome Mama

World's Awesome Mama iPhone Plus 6 Tough Case

From Denny:  Mother's Day is on the horizon and we all like to do something a bit special for our mothers.  While women enjoy something useful in the way of the latest high tech kitchen or home gadgets, something more personal would be greatly appreciated.

That's one reason why I enjoy designing over at Cafe Press as they are always adding new and interesting products for all price ranges.  The other reason?  They have a terrific return policy, taking great care of the customer.  There is nothing more annoying in life than a business that does not care about its customers when there is an issue.  I take good care of people and I expect the same care when something needs attention.

Comfort Food From Louisiana: Chef Recipe: Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Crawfish, Pepper Jack and Shrimp-Tomato Bisque Soup: April Is National Grilled Cheese Month

Comfort Food From Louisiana: Chef Recipe: Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Crawfish, Pepper Jack and Shrimp-Tomato Bisque Soup: April Is National Grilled Cheese Month: From Denny:  Now this is an exotic version of the humble comfort food:  the American grilled cheese sandwich.

You have no idea how hard it was when visiting Austria a few years ago when I attempted to explain how to make a simple grilled cheese sandwich to a local chef.  It was a seriously foreign concept to them.  They didn't have a clue.  Lots of delicious local cheeses yet no Austrian version of a grilled cheese sandwich!  Imagine that.

This Louisiana version comes from executive chef Carl Schaubhut of Café Adelaide in New Orleans.  Of course, as seafood, this rich sandwich is considered Lenten season friendly.  Serve by pairing it with the shrimp-tomato bisque soup. Here in Louisiana we always look for an excuse to enjoy our bountiful seafood so why not go meat free on Fridays even when it isn't Lent?  (You know, that special time that arrives after Mardi Gras and before Easter.)  Our restaurants enjoy creating Lenten season menus, always topping themselves from the year previous!...

New Denny Lyon Designs: St. Patrick's Day - Funny God's Irishman

From Denny:  Ready for St. Patrick's Day?  Start it off with a cheeky quote beloved by all lovers of Irish culture.  Oh, come on, you know that exaggerated boasting is all part of the silly fun!

Take a funny Irish quote and make a design for St. Paddy's Day!  This humorous design is available on so many products:  mugs to get you smiling as you drink your morning coffee or a beer stein to celebrate the holiday.  Then there are t-shirts for both men and women to give friends and strangers a funny thought of the day.

In the stationery department there are greeting cards, note cards and postcards to announce to anyone who enjoys snail mail a happy St. Paddy's Day greeting.  For stationery it's also available without the holiday greeting so you can send snail mail any day to get a laugh.

Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: 3 Joy Quotes: How Does Practicing JOY Bring Order and Harmony Into Your Life? Also, Joy Contagious Lip-Syncing Cop Viral Video

From Denny:  Now if everyone in politics and every CEO in Big Business would read this, think how much people would quit hating their jobs, their bosses and their politicians!

Joyful X 2 Bathmat

Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: 3 Joy Quotes: How Does Practicing JOY Bring Order and Harmony Into Your Life? Also, Joy Contagious Lip-Syncing Cop Viral Video: From Denny:  Have you ever noticed that when you are filled with Joy that your whole world is suddenly harmonious and everything just falls into place?  Joy is contagious too.  When you feel good, everyone around you feels good too!

While not everyone is called to enter into the decades long rigorous training to become a mystic for the benefit of humanity, a lot can be learned and practiced in everyday life to better enjoy life's journey.  Practicing Joy is practicing healthy spirituality, regardless of religion or no specific religious preferences at all.

Joy is a central principle for the human spirit.  Joy sustains us through life's sorrows   and disappointments.  Joy acts as a counter balance while climbing out of depression or grief, dealing with past trauma and the ensuing PTSD, keeping us from sinking down further into negative emotions and thoughts.  Joy is important to safeguard not just our mental, emotional and spiritual health but it has a direct positive benefit upon our physical health too.

Adults often develop habits that steer away from Joy.  Babies laugh hundreds of times a day.  How much have you laughed out loud today?  How much have you laughed in the past month?  Do you find your world crumbling around you, feeling out of sorts and grumpy, thinking limiting thoughts, focused upon how little is going your way? ...

New Denny Lyon Designs: Funny Most LOVED in the Family

Most Loved Family Padfolio

With a wink and a smile let the world know you are "the most LOVED in the family"!

From Denny:  "Most LOVED in the Family" is a new release from Denny Lyon Designs that pumps up your own attitude as well as friends and family that receive your gift: a fun design for a birthday, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.  Denny Lyon Gifts (via Cafe Press) offers all kinds of fun gifts for birthdays, celebrations, holidays or any day of the year.

Denny Lyon Gifts likes to specialize in offbeat humor as well as inspiration to get your day going.  As a Louisiana artist and journalist blogger Denny Lyon likes to get creative with fun saturated color and many abstract designs for your bedding and decorative pillows as well as cool t-shirts for women, men, pets, kids, toddlers and baby too!

OK, I've written enough in the weird "third person" like publishers demand it's time to get personal.  Hey, I just enjoy being creative, write too many blogs about the state of international politics to science, health and four food blogs.  

A few of the grinner categories I put up are funny designs about coffee, chocolate and cats for t-shirts and other clothing, as well as greeting cards, thank you cards and note cards.  Denny Lyon Gifts also gives you more sophisticated home decor designs for bedding, blankets and pillows.

So, in summary, this girl is both funny and classy!  There is always something new, so check back often.  I've been building this Denny Lyon Gifts site in short bursts of my free time for three years now and it enjoys quite the eclectic collection, something for everyone!  Thank you for visiting!
