The Day of The Launch!

Well, the Launch went off without a hitch! Tons of people came out and helped celebrate the start of it all. I really couldn't have been happier! I was great. Posters and postcards were coloured in, cupcakes were had, champagne was sipped and everyone was excited about the prints, posters, cards and the story- kit. I even gave a little speech, at which point I displayed myself as a little less eloquent and a little more emotional than usually, but hey, it was a special day and so I'm allowed a little outburst of confused stuttering;)

Of course in the general bumble of launch-happiness I sort of forgot to take photos of people's postcards and posters that were being coloured in, but still, there are a few.

Again, Thank You so much for coming out everyone who did! It wouldn't have been the same without you!

THANK YOU!

One more day until the launch of my own little shop! It's feels pretty great, I have to say. Almost one year ago now I wrote a business plan for DRAW ME A LION. Now, 8 months later, the products I had dreamed up are actually made and packaged, the website is ready and the invitations have been sent out. It's a bit fantastic:)

Even though I worked really hard to make this happen, there is no way it could have been done without the help from all of the amazing friends that I have in my life! I want to dedicate this entry to them and say "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!"

Here are some photos of just a few of the people who helped get me to where I am today. All young at heart, I thought it would be nice to see them here, when they were also younger in years. I have also posted some photos the children I know, whom I would like to dedicate this blog to. Thank you all for your imagination!
