After our camping weekend in Kiama recently, I returned home with a renewed energy and approach to life. I have been feeling run down lately and it occured to me that perhaps I needed to let go a little and enjoy the good life! I have decided that I will have a long holiday after 4 yrs of building up anna&sally. I will not stay up until 3 am working ever again! I will spend less time working in the business and more time working on the business from home in my studio - close to my kids and surrounded by the things that inspire me.

Running a shop and an online business is time consuming; along with design and managing productions; not to mention marketing and PR! Elijah is starting school next year. My little man! Where has the time gone? Life is too short to work myself to the bone.

My mother in law, Julie came down this week from Sydney to stay with me whilst Rod went away for work. A creative person herself, Julie got stuck into my studio - cleaned like a champion and reorganised my space complete with lavendar plant.

I am sitting at my desk now looking over the back yard. My roses are in bloom; I am thinking about dinner and the herbs in my garden; I am reflecting on our family weekend of fun with waterslides & laughter. I am feeling alive and inspired again and think it is time to pop on some Pete Murray and get designing!
