This is a story all about how...

...Leslieanne Made It became what it is now!

March Meet The Maker, brainchild of the ever lovely Joanne Hawker starts again today - yay!

I love this challenge, because I always "meet" some new faces & get to know a bit more about some old favourites 😃

Day one's prompt is "story" & since I couldn't edit mine down enough for an Instagram caption, I decided to share it here on the blog instead

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin!

Be your OWN biggest Fan!

...because you're pretty great :)

It's okay to NOT do it all.

...it really is.

It's okay to say no when someone asks a favour - even if it's a good friend - if you're too busy, overwhelmed, or just not into it, that's YOUR call.

It's okay to turn down an opportunity if it doesn't feel like a good fit, or if you're just plain too busy with other things to spin another plate.

It's okay to ignore the FOMO & turn down an invite if all you really want to do is stay home & catch up on sleep.
(Or bingewatch a netflix show with snacks.)

Sometimes, "No." is a full sentence, and that's okay too.

Happiness isn't ONE BIG THING...

...those little things? Kind of a big deal!

Make the time to notice & appreciate them & see what sort of effect it has on your mood ;)

This is another little pal from my Happiness Collection - he's also available as an instant download if you'd like to print a reminder :)

Mindset is Everything & YOU are in charge of YOURS!

True Story!

So next time you feel a negative thought clouding up your brain, remind yourself that you don't have to pay attention to it & carry on being wonderful!

Five Reasons You Should Be On My Email List!

Okay technically, this post falls under the blatant self promotion banner which in the main, I try to steer clear of, buuut, there are genuinely good reasons to get yourself on my mailing list, and it's absolutely free, so really I'm doing you guys a favour right?! Anyway - to the reasons! ...

O N E : Freebies! As a tiny way of saying to thank you to the superstars who let me land in their inboxes, on the last day of each month, I choose one happy gang member to post a little box of happy to. It might include products from the shop, original doodles and/or other happy little treats I've come across throughout the month.
