How to make stickers super easy and without a cutting machine!

 Honestly, stickers are fabulous at any age and if you watch this video, you will see my suggestions for ways to use for us "adults," (are we adults or just older kids?!).  Super easy and anyone can do it.  Great as gifts or for YOURSELF!!!

And if you subscribe to my Youtube channel, and purchase so much as a single card, through Feb, 2026, I'll send you a bonus one on me!

Of cours I work out every day...

 I work out what accessories I'm going to wear!

I mean seriously, I can't imagine a day without two elements; accessories and requisite red lipstick!  Can you?!  

My feeling about accessories is I believe the opposite of what Coco Chanel believed.  I think she said something to the effect of dress one's self, complete with accessories, look in the mirror and take one thing off!  Wha'???

Are you kidding me?  I add three things on!  Let's be extra with no apologies and decorate even the most basic outfits with necklaces, brooches - why stop at one, and have a race to the elbow with bangles and bracelets!  

This video I did recently shares my thoughts:  https://youtu.be/-EQ3u7yFv1E

Naturally, my characters on my funny women cards feel the same way!  I would love if you came by my Etsy Store link VanityGalleryEtsy.com and gave a look.  By the way, if you purchase even a single card, I'll send you a bonus one of your choice, no charge on me through January 2026!

It's not what you do but the way that you do it...

 So I found this old drawing while looking through my files and thought, how true?!

We can all do similar things but it's how we do it, what we invest into it, that make all the difference!  For me, when I'm in a cranky mood, rather than marinate in it, I find I go out and about & end up talking or engaging with others and more often than not, leaving them laughing!  So what does that do?  It helps my cranky, bad mood disseminate!

I take the bad mood & use it to propel me forward and next thing you know, I'm doing just that movin' forward!  I think I should refine, maybe slightly redo this drawing and create a card for my VanityGallery on Etsy!

Oh, and if you go to my VanityGallery on Etsy and order even a single card, through the month of January, 2026, I'll give you one at NO CHARGE, on me!

I would also be ever so grateful if you checked out my Youtube Channel, ColleneKennedy!

Fasting until.... lunch!

 This is soooo real life!

I'm definitely, positiviely, for certain fasting today...Until lunch!  Wishing you a full & fabulous Birthday!  PS, what's for dinner?!

I just posted her in my EtsyVanityGallery and she's sooooo based on my real life!  I never make the fast quite past lunch.  I do eat like a mouse but I eat allllll day like a mouse!

If you come on over to my EtsyVanityGallery and purchase so much as a single card and told me yu saw my work here, I'll include a freebie on meebie' -  thru February 2026!

And if you subscribe to my Youtube channel, I'll do the same thing!  COLLENE KENNEDY/YOUTUBE

Until the next post, Love, Peace & Chicken Grease!

Who says we can't be deep and fabulous at the same time?!

 

I so have to create this Vanity Case character pondering a deep question while doing a yoga pose!

And it's true, sometimes I will contemplate something deep and thoughtful and other times, I'll put that same level of exploration and mindfulness into selecting my accessories for that particular day!  That's just a lil' ol' pithy Vanity Reflection from me today!

I hope you'll come on by my EtsyVanityGallery, where I have many other pithy observations!

And I would jez' luuuuuve it if you check out my Youtube Channel Collene Kennedy and subscribe!

Go for the gold!!!

What in the world are we waiting for to "go for the gold?!"

For some that may mean accessories, as it does for me, a self confessed accessory addict! Whether I'm working from home or not on any given day, I'm decorating and going for the gold - real and fake!

But going for the gold can also be simple everyday goals!  I mean really, what are we waiting for to do something special, wear something special, use something special, or share something special - even making a phone call to someone special to us!

I remember reading that Barbra Streisand (I've luuuuuuuuuuuved since I was a kid & have seen live three times), had a gift of soaps from her stepfather.   She kept the unopened soap for years opting not to use them as they were a gift.  Well, as I recall, she finally opened the gifted soaps and used them.  It didn't diminish the gift or the memory but rather celebrated being in the moment. As she asked herself, what was she waiting for to open the gift soaps?!

What are we all waiting for to celebrate the gold in our lives?

So don't save that something special -  use it, do it, appreciate it!

PS, As a Streisandaholic' I'm sure I know that the relation with her stepfather was less than loving but I suppose it meant something that he was giving her a gift if not way overdue!

***Most of my characters on my Vanity Cases geeting cards celebrate this toxically optimistic thinking with a bit of pithiness thrown in!  Come see:  VanityGallery.Etsy.com

And if  you say you saw my blog and order even a single card, I'll include a bonus card toyou!

 

A lil' Iris with your monring tea!

I so agree with Miss Apfel, no matter what life throws you, always prioritize and accessorize!

On my worst day, I will have red lipstick and be fully accessorized to put myself into first gear!  It's all about celebrating one's self with a little decoration!  And don't we all deserve a little deocation?

I luuuuuve having my morning tea in my Iris mug and if you'd like to see some more Iris mugs, I hope you'll click on Vanity Gallery on Etsy link!

Also, I would love it if you would like a lil' pithy humor which I share by sharing how I come up with ideas for my cards if you visited and subscribed to my youtube Channel; Collene Kenned

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease and have a great day!

 

I'm much nicer with good hair...but aren't we all?

A quick little check in about good hair days!

I mean really, doesn't everything feel right in the world when one is having a good hair day?  And don't things feel like they are going off the rails when having a bad hair day?!  Seriously, it may seem superficial but it's really not at all.  When you look good, you feel good and when you feel good you do good?  Right?  R'eye'eeeeeeeeeet!

I would luuuuuuve it if you came by my youtube channel, Collene Kennedy and subscribed if you like pithy Vanity Humor!

Or please come on by to my Etsy Vanity Gallery shop, where I'm doing my best to get new cards up more often!  I just need to find that extra 20 minutes in every day...but don't we all?!

If life gives you lemons - don't make lemonade!

Nahhh!  Don't make lemonade - 

throw em' at the person buggin' the crap outta' you!

As a toxically positive person, I'm always looking on the bright side of situations and lessons to be learned but I confess, sometimes the feeling of throwing the lemons at the person or thing that buggin' you is the only solution -  that feels good!
 
I love this newish character and I think I'll be making some more funny women cards based on her and I'll post in my Etsy Vanity Gallery!  She's based on someone I follow on Tiktok!  I have a fab' little video explaining more of this character here: My Youtube Channel!

Take a Chance! Live life on the edge!

Have you had a "Dry Clean only moment!?"

Have you had the time when something was expected of you but you went your own way?  Every time I see a Dry Clean Only label I think, I'm gonna' take a chance and wash an item my way! I'm going to do something unexpected and break out of what's expected! 

Who knew a life lesson according to Funny Women Greeting cards!   I recently posted this on my YOUTUBE COLLENEKENNEDY CHANNEl, and hope you'll do a lil' something not expected of you but still fabulous!  And don't make me beg, but I would sure luuuuuve it if you subscribed to my channel!
