Cultural Expression
I’ll admit I laughed when I first saw this one on social media. Then I looked it up to see if it was real. They do things differently in the Canadian north. This is for illustration only – please note the fine print.
Easter Morning
Today is a day of celebration. Forget the pandemic and dance with joy – today is Easter! I was looking for an Easter graphic to use in a different publication when I came across this post from Easter Sunday 2015. A lot has changed in my life and in the world in the past five […]
