Your understanding of material possessions is undergoing a shift as you reconsider what you want these days. You might be willing or even eager to let go of once-prized belongings that have turned into unneeded baggage. Your values are transforming and it’s time to lighten your load emotionally and physically.

Woot! Another Christmas accomplished! This year was extra tough at our household with my other half having thrown his back :( He’s feeling better now, but it was so hard to watch him hobble around knowing that he was being tortured by all the things he could be doing.

This year, for the girls (read: teenagery) it was the year of the gift card. And oh how they loved it! I always thought gift cards to be a bit impersonal but since they hinted around so much that the wanted to pick out their own stuff, we obliged. For the most part it was a good idea. I say most part because they still needed to be driven to the mall and most times wanted stuff that exceeded their gift card amounts. Heh.

Justin was really into the Christmas/Santa thing this year and he fully understood that behaving naughty was not good. Every time he would do something nice he would walk around shouting “Santa, are you watching?!!” It was too cute. He got all the mess…err, toys he wanted and my living room is completely kids zone. I only get bothered by it for a second or two because I realize that in a blink of an eye he will no longer be little. He’s already going to be 4. FOUR!!! I can still close my eyes and feel him kicking around my belly. Ugh, make it stop!

Anywhoo, this turned into somewhat of a personal post didn’t it? Right. So I’ve managed to set up my Print Portfolio (most of it, at least) so if you want to check out some of the stuff I’ve designed for print click on over. I should also mention that some of these designs are available for purchase (exclusively) via For Always Invitations. If you would like to contact me for a print quote, please don’t hesitate to ask.

That’s all for now, I’ll be adding more to the freebies section this week and I’ll also be posting about a redesign I’ve just launched for Dragonflies and Ladybugs. I’m so excited about this project because I got to work with one of my favorite clients -Robyn. It’s so much fun working with her! But that’s another post, for another day.

Hi there! I hope you are all having a fabulous holiday season and aren’t rushing too much and feeling stressed out! I’m taking it a bit too easy over here actually -we JUST put up the tree. And then only because Santa wouldn’t visit otherwise! Nothing bah humbuggy about it, there’s just been so much stuff to do! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, the best ever actually, and I’m looking forward to Christmas & New Years being more of the same.

Speaking of New Years, one of my New Years Resolutions for this year is to stop getting so caught up in everything that I forget those things that are the most important to me. When I first started Girliebits Designs, I wanted to closely associate myself and lend my talents to those causes and charities near and dear to my heart, such as breast cancer, victims of domestic abuse, and teenage pregnancy. As time went on I found myself so caught up in work that I barely had time to come up and breathe to realize that I had fallen short of that goal.

I feel very lucky in that respect, being able to keep myself busy doing something I absolutely love. But, I really now want to focus on getting back to giving back. So, for those of you wondering what the business name change was all about, that was the main source of inspiration. I’ll be updating the site soon with more information, I just thought I’d do a quick post to share what was on my mind for now!

I’d love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions for me on this topic!
