How are we all doing? It’s been a while crocodile 😆
Well, it’s a Wednesday night so that means just 2 more days off school for my 3 up here in Aberdeenshire. Let the mayhem commence.
Luckily, I know someone very well who makes gorgeous teacher gifts and cards so I’m all sorted… but how about you? Well, if you’re stuck I have 2 fantastic options.
Firstly, I have my very popular teacher trees. These beauties are a whole class gift that can be ordered either blank - for the kids to fill in, or send me a list of names and receive it ready to gift or frame. They are bright and colourful and make a wonderful keepsake gift that can be treasured for years.
Secondly, I have my vouchers available! How perfect is that? These vouchers come as £20, £30 or £40 and mean that your child’s teacher can choose their own gift, something they’ll really appreciate, something that’s personal to them and something to really cherish.
The vouchers are hassle free, simply choose a paper or email copy and leave it to the recipient to enjoy spending it! Simple.
Right, I’d best go. I want to be hiding in my office a lot over the holidays so please keep me busy 😆😆
lots of love, B

My 3 beauties are all back in school now after what feels like forever. It will be interesting to see how the middle one copes without an xbox controller in his hand. The past couple of nights I've been a little worried how they'll settle back into a MUCH stricter routine*, guess I'll be finding out soon. They each made the bus this morning so, let's face it, my part was done :-D PARRRRTTEEEEE!
Soooo today I walked Mr Ernie and did a little talky story for insta, I've made up a couple of retirement trees (must get those listed here), made up a wedding card, worked on a poster for a new business and packaged up some gifts for my youngest nephew who turns 3 on Weds. It's been over a year since I last saw him, and I cannot wait to try to give him a big old squeeze in the summer... everything crossed.
Is this boring info? Probably. Sorry...
Onto much more exciting chat like: I'm having my hair cut soooon!!!!! Yippee!! Think I'm going to go short and choppy and leave this Hagrid inspired mop behind. Waa hoo, bring it on. But, why is it that when a hair cut is coming up, suddenly my hair starts looking quite nice... does anyone else get this? Random. But no... the chop it is!!
Right, I ought to go. Hope you're all doing well. Spring is here thank goodness.
Lots of love B xx
*any sort of routine :-S

Like many of you I am just relishing the oh so fun challenge of homeschooling. Who knew the delights of being around your own children 24/7?
And breathe...
Honestly folks, this little business is my lifeline from the madness! This and my dawgy walks when I breathe and listen to a cheerful podcast. I really hope you're all doing ok as we plough through this crazy time together.
I am posting items out once a week and fitting in my twees around the many demands of snacks, techno troubles, school project work, tantrums and tiaras!
Sending you and yours much love, stay safe
Becky xx

This Thursday (tomorrow, 22nd October) is the date for the Indie Roller Personalised Gifts Mini Market night!! I'll be taking part and showing my lovely makes over on instagram, why not follow #indierollerchristmas to find other amazing small businesses this Christmas!
Also, on the night, pop back here and check my Indie Roller Special Sauce collection for some amazing tree designs with a cheeky discount and with every order made on Thursday through till Sunday you'll receive one of my cute mini Christmas cards too!
]]>Partly this is because I hit a mental stumbling block, making decisions about how it should work and then doubting myself... and partly because I have been busy illustrating a children's book!!!!! Eeeeek!!
Totally nothing to do with trees buut it is the true tale of Simon the Seacat, who was awarded the Dickin medal for bravery, after the naval ship he was on was attacked by the Chinese just after WW2.
Simon not only helped keep up the sailors' moral by comforting them in the sick bay but also kept the rat population down on the ship!
All being well, it will be published in November and I cannot wait to see the finished book and show you guys too!
