When I drew this I had me & my mum in mind, but I realised you could maybe relate to it in different ways (sisters, bffโs, twins, girlfriends..) so Iโve released 5 versions of this hug, each with a different quote.
All 5 of these are available in my shop in 2 different sizes & have free shipping for a limited time ๐
UPDATE๐ฅ Iโve just added one more Welsh version too! XO
Waiting for Spring like..

Love you like..a lot. Now that the holiday crazies are coming to an end, I want to take a minute to tell you how truly grateful I am. Iโm thankful for each & every online purchase, every craft fair buy, (meeting you guys in person is the best & in 2019 I was lucky enough to meet so many of you brilliant people) every positive review, encouraging message, all the likes & supportive comments on social. Last but definitely not least my incredible retailers & to all that support them by shopping local. I couldnโt do any of this without all your support, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my Welsh heart. Diolch o galon bawb ๐ Proud to be on this neon journey with you. Sending you so much love & happiness for 2020 XO
These make me think of me & my Mum. Do they remind you of anyone? Drop a โ๐ฏโโ๏ธโ below if they do๐
If you can relate, please know youโre NOT alone & you DO matter ๐คThe more I talk about my relationship with anxiety, the more I realise how many of you are going through the same thing. So just a mid week reminder that no, itโs not fun, but WE.GOT.THIS ๐ช๐ผ ๐ฅ
Know someone that needs a daily reminder to ๐๐ผanxiety? This print is in my shop in two sizes. ๐ (in bio) โ โ โ โ โ โ
Iโm putting one where I can see it as soon as I wake up & get ready for the day. Thatโs when I usually feel most overwhelmed. Where would you put yours? ๐
Itโs beginning to look a lot like.. Christmassy palm trees ๐ด๐What other festive things should I paint?
