Happy wedding anniversary, Dan πŸ’˜ 12 years and 8 years... Fun fact: we got married twice on the same day, 13th September, in both 2012 and 2016. The first time was the legal bit, and the second time, we had a proper ceremony with a party and everything. The last 5 pics are from 12 years ago. Who are those youngsters? 🀭

I'm excited to introduce my new tropical monkeys design, which I absolutely love! πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’ It originally featured feathered headbands, but they had to go to avoid any concerns of cultural appropriation. Now, the playful monkeys stand out on their own, without any headbands. This design definitely looks incredible as wallpaper, as you can see on this mock-up from . It's also available in two other background colors - check them out in my shop, or just message me, and I’ll send you a direct link to the collection.
