Leopard Print Cards

⭐️🚨New supplier alert 🚨 ⭐️
Delighted to now be supplying , now part of the group. A HUGE fabulous store- top tip- get in and check out their Christmas shop asap-It’s A-MAZ-ING!

27 years ago today.
It’s a very strange moment when you look at your eldest child and realise that you were both barely older than her when you got married!

Whaaaaat!!?? Who let us? How was it even allowed? 😂😂
Because really we knew how to do precisely nothing and had almost no gumption between the pair of us.

But sure we didn’t know what we didn’t know, and anyway we thought we knew it all and that’s half the battle. And along the way we learned a few things and grew up together.

We had adventures in America 🇺🇸 and then more back home 🇮🇪 and along the way had a quare few house moves and children.

And there was honestly no BIG PLAN about anything and I used to look at people who had it all worked out with awe, but also a little sympathy because where’s the fun in that?

So it amazes me sometimes that an award winning 🏆 overthinker like myself just went with the flow, and in retrospect it DOES seem a bit silly and naive but somehow it mostly worked out.
I think that nothing really scared us because we were in it together and anyway, we could be sensible when we were old. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

So the baby love that started as teenagers just grew deeper and wider until over time it even produced and enveloped 5 whole extra people.

Which among other things, means I’ll always hide the good biscuits, look for the yellow stickers when doing the groceries, and splurge on prosecco, not champagne 🍾😂. And that suits me just fine.

So happy 27th wedding anniversary to Himself- my person, my love, my heart ❤️.

I feel so very lucky to have had all these years together when so many others don’t get the chance.
And yet, I still want more…more adventures, more travel, more time, more craic, more love, more you.
So here’s to us, all that’s been and all that’s yet to come.
I’m so here for it.
Emma ❤️
PS the ‘Best Damn Decision’ card was inspired by my anniversary Facebook post a few years back and it then became one of our bestsellers. So now he gets it every single year obvs. 😂

❤️

Off to see in and could not be more excited! (Can you tell!? 😂🤠)

We’re currently on a bus (retro- carpet on the roof!) on the way down to Croke and the craic is ninety. 😎🤠

Full cowboy/girl mode has been activated -the bus sing song has already begun. 🎶🎼🎤 Yeeeeeeehawwww 😜🤠😂

Soooo I thought long and hard about it, and I’ve decided to take a wee break from the grid for a little while.⛱🌻🌞

It IS summer after all.

I KNOW it’ll feel weird at first. You see, when you have your own business, no matter how small, home and work bleed into each other and it’s very hard to take a proper break…unless you properly decide to. 🤗🙏🏻🤞🏻

And social media makes that even harder and it’s also super hard to be disciplined about it cos inevitably it’s squeezed in around everything else…but I’m going to try.

So I won’t be posting as regularly on here during the summer, just when I feel like it and maybe not at all. 🙈

But who am I kidding, sure you know I’ll pop up now and again cos y’all know I love your craic. 😂😂

And obvs our online shop is ALWAYS open and our real life outlets will still be stocked, so don’t worry, you’ll never be stuck for a card or three. 😍

But for now, I need to feel the pressure is off for a little bit, so that I can feel the sun (or rain!) on my face and read a book instead of making a reel. (I’m not so great at those anyway 😂)

I need to have a lazy afternoon without writing lists or feeling guilty.

I need to have a little rest.

So that’s all for now-enjoy the summer, look after yourselves and I’ll catch you in the long grass (or on my stories.) ⛱🍦🌞

Much love, Emma x

Today is my parents’ 53rd Wedding Anniversary.
🥳👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻

They were married on 1 July 1969 with their wedding reception at my Granda’s Alverno hotel in Belfast, (Long gone unfortunately, a sad casualty of ‘The Troubles’ 💜)

How life has changed for them in those years- for better AND worse I’ll wager. 🙈😂😎
The 2 of them soon became 8, and from those 6 hallions came 25 more! 😂

And what a home and legacy they’ve created over 53 years, and how very lucky are we, to have them both still here, loving all of us, and each other.
I want to be just like them when I grow up. 😂💪🏻

So Happy 53rd Anniversary Mummy and Daddy, and here’s to a quare few more 🎉❤️🥂

💕 Always 5 cards for 4 online.

💕 All cards just £2.95

That’s Sugar Puffs off the shopping list then. 😂😂
Have a fab Wednesday my lovelies!

I love this photo. ❤️📸
It was sent to me by the fabulous a while back, as a still from one of his beautiful wedding videos. 💍👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻

I feel so completely honoured that one of my cards- something that began as a wee idea in my weird head-should feature so prominently in someone’s wedding day. ❤️😍

I don’t know who this gorgeous bride 👰🏼‍♀️ is, but I wish her and her new husband love, health and luck in their shiny new marriage. Congratulations to you both 🥳

You definitely have to be of a certain age to recognise this boy.😂

Those teeth 🦷 🙈 though! I mean I Must have seen this film a thousand times (Oompa Loompa Dippity Do!) but never clocked those dodgey gnashers before. 😂😂

Have a great Monday my lovelies!

Our eldest two ❤️❤️

Both graduating with first class honours in the next few weeks and we just couldn’t be prouder of them both.

A whole new chapter awaits them -there’ll be plenty of challenges and adventures ahead but they’re both just SO ready for it. 🗺🧭

Deep down I know that our work now as parents is done ….at this point they’re young adults with their own paths to navigate, their own decisions to make, their own mistakes to learn from. 😍🤞🏻

More than anything, I REALLY hope that all the good stuff we’ve done our best to put in over the years sticks. (And our many fails are forgiven and forgotten.)

I hope that they both realise how much we love them and that there’s NOTHING they could ever do to change that. ❤️

I hope they know that no matter how far they wander or how old they are, our house 🏡 will ALWAYS be their home.

I hope that they’re brave enough to take risks and live boldly, especially when they’re young…but also stay safe, stay in touch and get enough sleep. 💤 😂

But most of all, I hope they’re happy in themselves. Because in my experience everything else will then follow- what they do, where they live and who they love.

And if they’re not, I hope they find the courage to get themselves unstuck, knowing it’s never too late to change or start over.

But for now my sweet babies, off you go. 🐣🐣
Fly as high as you possibly can but always remember that we’re both right here watching you soar and cheering you on from the sidelines.❤️

We are ALMOST at the finish line my lovelies! The end of another school year. 🍦☀️😎

The summer is yawning out in front of us, and I for one am hoping to consciously take a proper break.

Sure as Christie says-‘everybody needs a break, climb a mountain or jump in a lake! ‘ (Name that song 🎵!)

So all that’s left to do before we jump right in, is to thank the teachers 🧑🏻‍🏫, those legends who have done SO much more than just teach our children this year.

Right through the COVID dark times and now (thankfully!) out the other side. 😍🎉

We salute 🫡 you and thank you for your service…now have the most fabulous summer 🌞👙🍉because you deserve it.

Just a heads up for Himself tomorrow . 👍🏻
(I mean, he just got a brand new barbeque so OF COURSE he’s doing the cooking!) 🍗🍖🍔

And Happy Father’s Day (for tomorrow) to all the Dads, Daddies, Pops, Grandas, stepdads..and anyone else being a crucial father figure in someone’s life. You’re the best.

And a most special thought for all those whose Daddies are no longer here- thinking of them too as they live on forever in our hearts . ❤️

Love this! If you’re in be sure to pop into the fab Painted Earth!

We can always count on Leopard Print Cards to keep us right with brilliant cards. Check out these class Father's Day cards.😂

P.S. Father's Day is this Sunday!😉

Would you believe Austrian National TV asked to interview me last week? Truth! I 💩 you not.

I mean obvs I them down, I mean I don’t get out of bed for less than £10k a day. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤑
Lie obviously 😂😂 I mean I DID turn them down but only because I’d have to have got a blow dry and put on makeup, which would have been wasted cos no one over here would have seen it.
Plus I don’t fancy being dubbed in German and I’m not up on my Brexit issues as much as I should be 😜 and anyway, I had to do the school run. 🤷🏼‍♀️🚖

But if I HAD done it- that would TOTALLY be me. 😂😂

Today is National Sneak A Kiss Day. 💋💋💋

(I mean seriously, who makes these things up and how do I get a job there? 🤷🏼‍♀️)

Never mind that though, as a designer and seller of cards , no way am I letting this nugget of a day pass 😂😂😂💋❤️. (Also I felt you could do with a break from all the Father’s Day stuff 😜😂)

So feast yourself on a couple of our love cards- CLEARLY not just for the old ‘Sneak A Kiss’ day, 💋
but perhaps more realistically for anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s and just because.

( I think we can all agree I just nailed it. 🏅
Maybe I should consider being this profesh more often. 😂 Thanks for tuning in my lovelies 😂😂😂)
