Gnome and Woodland Party

Recently, I had a pleasure working with a client creating a Gnome and Woodland Birthday Party lines such as invitations, cupcake toppers, favor tags, thank you notecards, and a banner.

So much fun, can't you tell? I love how blue, red and pink combined together. It's just feel that I'm creating retro-slash-modern which is a trend nowadays.

Note to Self

Every day, I'm exhausted. So much to do, so little time I have. Isn't this typical of what we say? I know I feel this and say it a lot lately. 

 A couple of days ago, I looked at our pictures files to develop. There was one picture that was stuck in my head. It was a picture of Ethan and me, taken in January 2012 when we played in the backyard, building a snowman. There I looked at my little man who was so cute and happy. I looked happy too. But there was more. I looked at how pale my face was, how tired my eyes looked, and how no fresh I was overall.

I realized that I had not been taking good care of myself for the past few years. Oftentimes, I forgot how to relax and take the time to really just rest . . . until I was sick a couple of weeks ago. Nothing major. It's just a cold but the cold hasn't really gone until now and it's not a type of me being sick. I'm usually the healthiest in the family but I guess it finally takes a toll on me. People started to mention how tired I look and it's just like a confirmation, isn't it? It is not too late, I tell myself. 

Changes have to be made. My husband and I have been talking about changes that we need to make in life and we are working through them. Maybe first, I need to try not to work on the weekend. I've seen a few Etsy shops lately that are closed on weekends and holidays. Maybe I should do that, eh? 

Do you like the print above? I just found this Going Place 2 shop today and really love this shop. Check it out when you get a chance!
