learning to swim...

The last few weeks I have been participating in an amazing e-course titled 

"In the Fish Bowl :: Life As An Artist Online"with Marisa of Creative Thursday. 

I highly recommend it!

For me, this course has been a lesson in re-learning to swim. Navigating the waters of the internet. A little nervous about what dwells in the depths and questioning if I'm strong enough to keep afloat, especially in our turbulent times....

But most of all I am learning so much about myself and the joys that my art and business bring 

to me. Finding the balance between family and work, trusting my intuition and 

staying calm when the seas get rough...

When my shop reopens on Monday, July 20th, there will be a few changes. 

I have discovered that I'm most happy with my life and work when I do what I truly love 

and have plenty of time for my babies and husband. 

So, with a deep *sigh* I have decided to no longer take custom orders. Instead, I will focus on my vision of bumblebird, work on some projects that I hope to reveal to you soon and most importantly be with my family. 

 

Thank you for your understanding...

Have a wonderful weekend!
