Holidays are over!!

Holidays are over!!

Bet you thought it was going to be another year before I posted again, lol. Well, it has been 23 days, which isn't good.

But here I am, large as life, relaxed after a good break through the school holidays.

Well..... the school holidays aren't over yet but it's not long until they go back.

We also took the time to go away together, all 13 of us, including 2 toddlers for 2 of those weeks.
Takes quite a bit of organising but was so worth it.
We have had shorter breaks together but this was the longest. Despite a few mishaps we all survived and had a great time with lots of laughs.

Helped along by quite a few of these I have to confess.

 It's amazing though, how much you can miss your work when you love what you do. I did much less for most of the holidays and nothing at all for just over 2 weeks of that time. Good job that the 2 weeks was very busy while we were all away on holiday, it also helped that for much of the time I didn't have internet and most of the time when I did have it we were all out and about. Siiiigh!
Will tell you all about the holiday in the next blog.



I love creating my artwork, it's something I don't think I will
ever tire of.

Every one is different, because the words are different, so each one is a fresh challenge, which is just what I like.


I am also loving learning Affiliate Marketing, its a lot to learn but its an even bigger challenge. I did think I would find it wasn't difficult but it's another steep learning curve. Some stuff I get through fast because I have worked online for so long, other parts are much more challenging.
I have loved learning how to create a wordpress website for my affiliate marketing, still finding my way with various aspects and it isn't anything fancy but I did it myself.

Just as I put my original Weebly website, Uniquely Your Designs, together myself.
For me, creating something myself gives a greater sense of satisfaction.
In the early days of starting my business, it cost a small fortune to have a website built, so I either did it myself or went without.
After a while of having a shop on a big site, it was a natural progression to have a website of my own to increase my online presence.
Anyway ..... right now I am loving life! I get to set my own hours, go visiting and stay with family for a long weekend every month and 3 days every other week. (different family members) I couldn't do that if I had a regular job. Every 4th week I am only home for 1 day in an entire week. I love it.
It's a laptop lifestyle in a smaller way as I'm not jetting off here and there all the time.
It's taken a long while to reach this point but all the choices I have made in the last 10 years have led me to this point. A life I love.

 I'm living the life I choose
 a laptop is the tool I use.
 I changed my life, yes ME.
 By making choices, you see.
 Each one took me a step nearer
 the way couldn't have been clearer.
 Long hours and a lot of work
 but only rarely did I shirk.
 Many thought it was a waste
 of time but success I could taste.
 I knew that I would win
 took criticism on the chin.
 I didn't do anything by half's
 and now it's me that laughs.
 Ignore them, all the rest
 keep going to reach the best!
