Happy Spring Everyone! although the weather hasn't changed i can see it in the air the blossoms are out and its not as cold in the morning or the night!
I still have Covid! I really thought it would be gone by now! So I'm just being a hermit and not going out anywhere.
I made some really sweet pet birthday cards for the shop because I just couldn't decide which one to make some I made them all!

Finally feeling a bit better and back to my normal schedule. 🤗
We went to the Adelaide show on the weekend the kids had loads of fun!! Here's a super funny shot of them on the roller coaster. They all thought they were going to die! 😂

Yesterday I worked in the Lemon Fizz shop in the morning then came home and started working on some Halloween things to go in the shop. I started making an activity pack which is going to have a activity book with stickers, colouring, embellishments and masks to cut out in which im super excited about.

I worked in the shop on Tuesday and was so happy to pick up my very own custom made wooden heart earrings from Ves Creations. Thats the best bit about working in a shop with so many talented handmade creators. You get to see first hand what they make and if they can custom make things for you. I literally got these the next day after asking for them! 🥰


That's just a silly picture I sent my husband lol!!
Now yesterday I went to see Jayne who is the naked cat lady who I also met in the shop. You can read about her candles here. She is unwell at the moment, so I wiped up a thinking of you card and got a bunch of flowers (that were actually from another vendor at the lemon shop) for her and had a lovely morning seeing her and her studio. 😊

Last night I had a meeting with my sister which was quite enlightening, but there is something exciting coming to my website I can't say what it is yet as there's still some details we need to iron out but it has to do with my activity boxes and something I have always wanted to start. See watch this space people its exciting!! 😁

Yesterday day was a making day I need to make many more cards to go in the display at Blackwood and also restock some cards at Mt Barker. So I set out making a few new ones! I am really enjoying colouring at the moment it is so very relaxing! 🥰

I finally made the trip down to blackwood yesterday to the Lemon Fizz shop there. I had some more cards to put in my stand and I also needed to sort my stand out the cards were all mixed up so I hope now that it brings in some sales. 🤞 This is what my side of the stand looks like now!

Well yes sorting out my cards definitely paid off with sales last week. You know when you know something is the right thing to do you can feel it in your gut! That was the right decision.
The universe does work in wonderful ways... story time.... on Friday I thought I will just print out 5 Halloween Activity Books for the market coming up on the 11th of October. Then that night I hear a cha ching from my website. The order was for 1 birthday card 2 packs of origami bookmarks and 5 Halloween Activity Books!! I was gobsmacked and it just goes to show if you live like you have already got the sales you want they will come. 😊
