The Paper Daisy Co

Instagram gave me a little nudge recently and reminded me that it had been over 18 days since I last posted anything 😜 Thanks for that! 😑😅

So here I am, giving the algorithm a nudge back 🙋‍♀️

Truth is, life has been crazzzzzzy busy lately 🫠 But behind the lack of 'gram content is a busy little biz owner packing orders, welcoming new stockists, preparing designs for Christmas, organising a 6 year olds birthday, giving endless cuddles to a 2yr old with RSV, attending post-op knee physio, parent help at school, gymnastics practice, landscaping the garden in between downpours, folding 50 baskets of laundry each night and all the rest that life has to offer right now.

But thank you, Instagram, for the reminder to post more content 😂

I promise, I've got lots to share soon x

Wanna know something crazy? This gal 🙋‍♀️ spent the first 10yrs of her career in mining and construction. Flying in and out of mine sites and mining towns for yeaaaaaaaars ✈️

Eventually, I headed back to the city, ready to make some changes in my life- my creative brain couldn't take a back seat any longer! It certainly took me a bit to find my feet on that path, with plenty of road bumps along the way (cue: imposter syndrome, self doubt and all the other fun stuff small biz owners battle! 👋🏻)

But this recent custom order for plantable bookmarks for celebrations (a construction company, for those playing at home 😉) was a real "full circle" moment for me. There's even a good chance that deep in their records lives a copy of my CV from a former life. What they do would have had my name written all over it 🤗

So to have a company from my former world come to me for a product in this new small biz life of mine, that I hustle so hard for, that is essential my heart on a piece of (plantable) paper - is such a *moment* for me ♥️

It's the "girl, keep going", the "you're on the right track", the "this is where you're meant to be" moment all rolled into one.

Whilst they placed their order never knowing the magnitude, I'll be eternally gratefully that they did 🙏🏼
