It was nearly 1990 when I heard on television that people need 12 hugs a day to be healthy. I can see that hugs would improve emotional and mental health. This news item implicated that physical health was also improved by many hugs. Naturally, all parts of our well-being are interconnected. They showed a group of people who went to nursing homes or those who lived alone and shared big hugs as a blessing. So when I saw this fun image from Doodle Pantry, I thought I'd pass on the hugging idea. When I watch four of my grandkids this week, I'll definitely get ahead on hugs and make sure they do, too!
My designer papers are all long-retired from CTMH. I mentioned in a previous challenge that I'd looked in a long-ignored drawer and found about two dozen red and pink striped bases. I used the back of one of them and embossed it with a basket weave embossing folder. I used one of the pre-colored images from this Doodle Pantry set called "Big Hug Friends." Both sentiments are also from this set. I underscored the word "hugs" using three red enamel dots from My Mind's Eye "My Girl." Here's the important message inside:
Here are the rest of the lovely images from Big Hug Friends from Doodle Pantry.
