My Small Business Journey ~ Day to Day in May

Welcome to Mother's Day month and my birthday month! 🥳

I have been sick for the last week so all I was doing for the first week of May was making cards in front of the TV mainly for the Lemon Fizz shop because now that I am the only card seller in there I need to keep up with the demand. 😊

Here are some brand new Mother's Day Cards that I have just popped in the shop.

I adore this mug so much! Did I make it for me or to go in the shop? 🤔😂

I also made this Mug and card set for my sister to give to our Mum for Mother's day. I just love this quote! ❤️

I have been playing around with my die cutting machine to make these cute little gift boxes to go in the shop and also online as a flat pack idea for little party favour boxes.

I hope every Mother out there had a beautiful Mother's day I certainly did here is a happy shot of myself and my children.

Now let me tell you about Saturday the day before Mother's day. I sold $104 worth or products at the shop including cards, crafts and 1 mug! 🥳 I got a message from a man asking if I could put together a Mother's day activity box for his two children and if he could pick it up in a couple of hours!! So of course I said yes and off I went and did the Activity box for him. When he picked it up he apologised for the late notice and said "the kids had a Mother's day fete at school but the boy brought something for himself and the girl brought a plant that died" I thought this was extremely funny but was happy to help. 😊

Also for my personal development I thought this might be worth mentioning...

I am past 500 days straight of doing my miracle morning. Check out this blog post if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

I also made some new birthday cards to go in at the Lemon Fizz shop.

It was my birthday yesterday yay! 🥳

I had a lovely day and it got me thinking about all the things I have learnt over 39 years or maybe just in the last year. I have had some massive changes happen and I think I have gotten to know myself better so here goes.

It really doesn't matter what you wear as long as you feel good, people aren't looking at you!
You only have to do a 30 minute walk 3 times a week to stay fit, healthy and happy.
Your weight doesn't matter
I will always like blue!
Getting my nails done makes me happy
Friendships are important and need to be nurtured.
I don't mind living in Mt barker but my dream is still to live on a farm with a nice view.
I love a good chat
I love my husband and his personal space.
Never ever deprive yourself.
I love plants.
You can do what you love every day.
I cherish family time.
I will always be a dog person not a cat person (sorry Kaitie)
Never ever talk about your body in a distasteful way or say that you need to loose weight in front of your children.
Never go on any sort of diet!!
Stepping out of my comfort zone is a good thing.

I hope this list helps someone out or just makes you laugh!

So the other day I made these pride cards for the Lemon fizz shop.

Then blow me down Jane from the shop rings me and says she wants me to make her some pride cards to go in some pride gift boxes that she's curating. I show her these cards and she loves them she wants the you are beautiful in post card form and 2 other cards which I curated for her.

Then yesterday I got an order on my website for a cat sympathy card so yay!

Also yay Ben comes home tonight!

Yesterday I worked in the Lemon Fizz shop for half a day then came come packed up my order and sent it off.

I also worked on getting some new LGBTQIA cards up on my website.

These are all cards I have for sale in the lemon fizz shop and just thought I should pop them on here to expand my collection.
