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!

And closer.....

One more month till the shop opens up. Still so much to do, but I'm getting really excited. I have a good feeling about this little shop. It just feels right.

Almost done!

This is my first post on this blog, which is up, even though the Draw Me A Lion website is still in the works. Nevertheless, it is horribly exciting to be so close to finally opening up my little virtual shop after working on it for so long. I can't wait for the launch!
As part of a lot of preparation for designing the line of poster prints and products, I have been doing a bit of reading on early childhood development. The theories, and the people behind them. So I will try to use this blog as a means to share my interest in this subject amongst other things and how I feel they relate back to what I want to create with the Draw Me A Lion collection.
So yes, the lion has been let out of his cage.... and I hope that he won't go back in for a loooong time! Here is a picture of the clay lion that I made for the image for this blog in the making. He was almost ready there, just needed to be painted.... just like the shop itself really. :)
