Hello again. I hope you have been keeping well. It really is a crazy time at the moment, and I have been finding it hard to juggle home schooling and work and the thing is something has to give a little and that has to be my work. The girls come first after all. My work hasn’t suffered too much. I just prioritise it second. I am lucky I can afford to do that. I have always felt I started Lomond Paper Co. to work around them and that is what it continues to do. So, Valentine’s Day, I have...

Well, this year has been interesting hasn't it? It has been a strange time as my business has grown and flourished which if I am honest came as a surprise. I feel very lucky that I had an online presence when everything started to turn upside down at the end of March. I feel this has been my best asset just being online and shouting every now and again on social media that I am here.

I have been wanting to create some gift wrap for a long time but I had no clue how to make a pattern in Procreate. A few weeks ago I took a Skillshare class with Cat Coq. If you are interested in creating patterns on the IPad go take a look. I totally recommend it. I created the patterns from two new Christmas cards for 2020. I also made gift tags. These are very limited edition as I'm not sure how they will sell. I hope you like them x

This year I will be taking part in my first online market with Shop Small Love Indie. Normally every year since I started Lomond Paper Co. I have had an open house and invited people round for tea and cake and for a wee browse of my shop. It's a lovely event and soo nice to see everyone. This year for obvious reasons there are not many markets and I can't do the open house so this is the next best thing. I am sooo nervous about it though! Eeeekkkk! Anyway I would LOVE to see you there. I have...
