LASER ... FOCUS . Laser cut invitations are still proving to be a favourite for 2019/2020 weddings, but it’s my laser focus that needs attention. . Being self employed it’s easy to loose track of important tasks needed to get done. . As February slips away I’m using this time to laser focus on what needs my attention this year. . #weddinginvitations #weddinginvites #partyinspiration #partyinvite #lasercut #laserfocus #actionplan #selfemployed https://www.instagram.com/p/BtyB1ZyBARJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ss1n1vrmb6kj

GOLD . It’s all in the details 👌🏻 . Gold cutlery and gold foiled places cards against these blue table cloths makes the whole table design pop!💙💛 .

PLAY TIME 💁🏼‍♀️ . Spent the weekend hanging out with the mini me’s playing in the woods 🌳, loosing at board games 🤦🏼‍♀️and painting ‘art’ 🎨. . Taking time to step back from the business, gives me time to re-evaluate things and focus on what works for us! 🤘🏻 . I’m not much of a private life sharer so thanks for hanging out with me while things continue to grow/change around here👍🏻 . #businessasusual #art #british #selfemployed #smallbusiness #creativebusiness (at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOJ_f9hlLq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tov2eijtmss8

FINALLY . At last I feel a little more back on track with life! . After being in the Christmas/New Year bubble for what feels like months! I am VERY happy to be back into some sort of ‘normal’ routine. . I’m currently making some place card menus (similar to this one I did a few years ago) for a wedding in February. . I’m not sure if it’s reading all the guests delicious sounding menus or the cold but all I have done is eat (crap) all day. . Looking forward to warming times and dinner time 😉🤷🏼‍♀️ . #backtowork #wedding #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #engaged #weddingdesign #welshwedding #weddingsinwales (at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdXoM_Bi11/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ai7n7ei8u8sv

HAPPY NEW YEAR! . Unless you’ve lost complete track of days or how time works I’m sure you’re aware it’s a new year. . I’ve been a little quite over here (not that I’m sure anyone had noticed!) understandably at this time of year we’ve been taking time out to reflect on the past year and spend time with the family. . We’ve just got back from a little family trip (see more pictures in stories) which was utterly awesome! . Thanks for sticking with me and supporting this thang I do. It helps to feed my family and experience life to the max with those that matter most! . 2018 shout outs go to - Thanks to @kelly_thebeesknees for helping me spot the extraordinary in the ordinary, every single day! @laurenastondesigns for teaching me to take my business seriously (but not too seriously when it comes to the 🍆) and @ultimategirlgang for reinforcing my believe that drink 🍾 can and will always help every situation! Plus the new house 😍🤘🏻 . So 🖕🏻to all the crappy moments of 2018 and bring on the awesome of what 2019 has to bring! . Anyway, Can you guess where we were? - see more pictures in stories for better clues! . . . #moreofthegoodstuffplease #2019goals #2019 #seeya2018 #life #selfemployedlife #businessowner #familytrips https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIOt5mhIrJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xu3nclp4i11n

PERSONALISE . Loving this personalised bauble with couples initials and added star ⭐️ gem! . Obviously I made it so should like it, but you know, just telling the world about it 💁🏼‍♀️ . If any one can explain the difference between pay as you go SIM cards and SIM only contracts that would be great as I’m losing the will to live over here! . Over and out guys!

BLUSHING . The British in me wants to turn a kinda beetroot colour and shy away when someone compliments my work. . But in true @annamathur fashion I’m done with that! . Now, when someone says how nice something I’ve designed and made from scratch with ideas from my brain I say ‘thank you’ . Coz I’m pretty proud of this little business of mine I’ve been running for 10 plus years now. . So cheers 🥂 to all the lovers out there and 🖕🏻to all the haters dragging us down (@ryanwelchweddings you get me 😉) . My bees knees moment @kelly_thebeesknees - I’m not ‘lucky’ I’m a hard working bad arse with a ton of talent! . Phew that was a bit heavy for a Thursday wasn’t it (I’m not worried most people will just see the picture and not read the comment anyway 💁🏼‍♀️) . . . . . #british #brits #selfemployed #beeskneesmoment #spreadhappinesslikehoney #motivation #thankful #grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqxl2h5hz2F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sigagx9zj737

BALLS... . ...to it! . Or baubles to it 💁🏼‍♀️ . I know it’s only November and the adult in me wants to deny Christmas is creeping up on me, but the overwhelmed excited child in me is screaming it’s 5weeks TODAY!! . Last year I had such an overwhelming number of orders in December (I’m looking at all you sensible adults out there👉🏻 ) that I had to close the books and stop orders! . So IF you do want a super cool personalised bauble to give as gift, for a baby’s first Christmas, in memory of a loved one, for your pet, for your first Christmas together a couple, as an engaged couple, as a married couple, for your kids for your whole family (just have your surname on there). Then place your orders now! . I’m currently donating 10% of sales to @feathering_the_empty_nest Teddy’s Legacy, and next month 10% will be going to @kelly_thebeesknees for research in Huntings Disease. . So you’ll also get the warm fuzzy feeling of giving back this Christmas too. . #christmasparty #christmasdecor #christmastree #christmasdecorations #christmasdecorating #christmasdecorideas #bauble #christmasbauble #ballball #christmasiscoming #5weekstoday #christmascountdown #christmascountdown2018 #holidaysarecoming (at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZt10EBV7O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rta6ry0yy9ju

GIVE BACK . As you may have seen on my previous post 10% of ‘dash’ prints will be going towards research into huntings disease in support of @kelly_thebeesknees @thebeesknees_official her fabulous mum and all the others living with HD . This feels so good to me that 10% of all personalised Christmas baubles will be going to Teddy’s Legacy. . Elle @feathering_the_empty_nest has been raising money and campaigning for baby loss awareness. I’ve personally donated earlier this year but felt there was more I could do. . Elle is an absolute delight and raising money in Teddy’s memory is totally the right thing to do! So not only can you have a fabulous personalised Christmas bauble but you can also know that you are donating to a VERY fabulous cause! . This ones for Teddy. ❤️ . Thanks for all your support, it really means so much to small businesses like mine! Rock on beautiful people 🤘🏻 . . . . . #christmasiscoming #christmasshopping #givebackthischristmas #charity #raisingmoney #smallbusiness #spreadhappinesslikehoney #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations (at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9m2_FBx2l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=abkekt9atc8b

DASH . We spend so much time hurrying from here and there and ‘doing’ our lives, sometimes I think we forget to LIVE them. . You’ve only got one life so, you know YOLO! . ‘Dash’ Print . Based on the idea of it’s the dash between the two dates on your tombstone that matter. . Printed on luxury A4 satin white card and a choice of copper, gold or silver foil wording. . 10% of every print purchased goes towards Kelly’s – @kelly_thebeesknees @thebeesknees_official movement ‘Making the ordinary extraordinary’ for research into Huntings Disease. @hdauk . This is my 5 minutes ‘me time’ today @annamathur - remembering what it’s all about! . It’s how you live you - (dash) that matters! . . . . . . . . #yolo #dash #livelife #livelifetothefullest #lifequote #lifequotes #quoteprints #prints #ukmaker #lovelife #lovelifequotes (at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp1RW-_BXhO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gl0f7iqxfo30

TIME OUT . I’ve been a little quiet on here (you probably hadn’t noticed, coz you know, who really gives a shit) but this is because I work (mainly) in the wedding industry. As lovely as this is the summer can be long and hard. . Last week I enjoyed spending the whole week on adventures with my little people during half term. Totally guilt free. . Now I’m fired up and loving being back to work 💪🏻. . Except for the cuppa and 5mins Instagram scroll I’ve just had 😉 @annamathur 5mins me time. . Is it just me but whenever I see a picture of @kelly_thebeesknees journal I just wanna have another cup of tea! This is getting problematic! 🤦🏼‍♀️ . . . . . . #selfemployed #timeout #beeskneesmoment #spreadhappinesslikehoney #halfterm #halftermover #survivedhalfterm (at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpzC4B2HCBd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q06qgn1pq3jw
