Father Day eCard - Lazy Days of Summer

For all our members around the world who celebrate Father's Day this Sunday, June 19, we have added a new card to the site. As the name "Lazy Days of Summer" implies, it is all about kicking back and relaxing as the mercury soars. Ideally in the clear blue water of a pool with a cool drink in your hand :) Needless to say, this card can be used for many other occasions during summer and holidays.

eCards for Many Occasions: Birthday, Father Day

We have added two new ecards to our site that can be sent for a variety of occasions.

Special Delivery is a clean, modern card for just about anyone and just about any occasion. We often get requests for more cards for men, and I think you will find this one fits the bill with a vintage motorcycle and a cool sidekick. It is the first of the cards we have made this year with Father's Day in mind, but there is more to come before June 19th.

Birthday Dance is another humorous production featuring our adorable rats delivering a greeting with much fanfare. Great for birthdays or anytime you want to put a smile on someone's face.

Father's Day eCard - On Wilderness Shore

The inspiration for our newest Fathy Day e-Card, On Wilderness Shore, for Father's Day came after a recent trip to the coast with my boys and Tim that included spotting an eagle up close taking of in majestic flight and many other little adventures. My oldest son told me afterwards that two of his big wishes had been fulfilled on the trip and the idea for this card was born.

Let yourself go on a journey in a canoe across great wild scenery, spotting wildlife, fishing and finally settling down for the night in a magical spot on earth - from the comfort of your computer :) I hope the watercolor paintings in this card come close to giving you the feeling I get when I am out in the wild. The card is perfect for Father's Day, greetings to all your outdoor enthusiasts, Birthday wishes (especially for men) and many other occasions. It also includes a little bit about how I went about painting the artwork in this card.

Here is our complete Father's Day ecard collection.

With best wishes for a Happy Father's Day!

An "every day should be Father's Day" brunch

Sunday brunch was something I always looked forward to when we lived in New England, especially on those blustery days when you could barely get yourself to take the first cold dip out of your cozy warm bed.


While we will have to wait a few more months before the weather starts getting anywhere near cool here, nonetheless it has cooled off enough that cooking brunch doesn't have to feel like being a short-order cook in a blazing hot inferno of a greasy diner.

So this past Sunday I let Tim sleep in while I whipped up a nice brunch, the boys went to the shop to fetch the paper and set the table.

Ojolie customer service gets to sleep in late on Sundays :)

I do happen to agree with those who say that everyday should be .... (insert your own choice of Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentines, etc.) - and not just because I make ecards ;) And not just because Tim actually helps out with all the responsibilities that come with raising and homeschooling two boys - although I AM grateful for that - but also the joys of playing a game of cards together, going for a swim, or planning our next camping trip.

Gone Sailing - Father's Day Animated eCard

Our newest card, "Gone Sailing", created with Father's Day in mind, is a rich journey illustrated in watercolor for the sailing enthusiast as well as anyone who enjoys summer, the big open seas, or just relaxing on a beach with a cold drink. It can be used for many other occasions, such as birthdays, summer greetings, anniversaries, well you get the point - almost anything.

We have a number of other suitable cards for Father's Day, here are just a few to get you started:



As I write this I am myself about to take off for a short journey, to the mountains instead of the sea, to photograph a very different kind of body of water - a high altitude meteor lake. I hope to get back to writing about it in my blog as soon as I get back to celebrate Father's Day at the Tu household. In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful Father's Day however you decide to celebrate those great men in your life.

Happy Father's Day!

New Father's Day 2008 eCard

This coming Sunday, June 15th is celebrated as Father's Day across more than fifty countries worldwide, and this year it has been 100 years since Father's Day was first celebrated in the US.

We have of course been hard at work on the latest addition to the site for this occasion, featuring once again "Woody" - you may remember him from the card titled "Best Friends". I wanted to capture the contributions Father's make in our lives while keeping the card lighthearted, a little bit clever and most importantly something sons, daughters and just about anyone would want to send to their own father - and all the other great fathers they know.

Good Time


Happy Father's Day!
