School is finally in full swing and I'm getting into the routines of grading papers and running kids around to social activities. It still feels too hot to be so close to fall but I do love this time of year...it's full of possibilities. I've said this before, but the start of a school year feels more like the NEW year than January 1st. It's a new beginning for me each year because I teach, so it's time for new experiences, new looks to try and new faces to meet. And this year, joining the ranks of NEW experiences, I will be having one in my digital job, as well. This past year has brought on many changes for me and me designing career, most ending in a door closing and another opening. Well, it's time for another one to close and rightfully another to open. Digital Dandelions, though still in its baby stage, will be closing at the end of this month. The owner of the store has decided that it's too much to handle and I was actually offered to take it off her hands. I thought long and hard about it because I could see the potential of this "baby" but when I got down to being really honest with myself and my time, I realized that it would just be too much to handle juggling a store and my teaching career. AND let's not forget that I have a family who gets too little of my time as it is, so it really wasn't an option to buy the store.
Since no one has offered to buy, Digital Dandelions, we are going to have to close up shop. With that said, I am not ready to hang up my mouse yet. I still love designing and I want to continue doing it, so I have found a NEW home. AND this place is just AMAZING!! It's a place that I will for sure be staying for the long haul. It's well-known for it's talented line-up of designers, many of which have been there for YEARS, even starting their successful careers there.
So, where is this said amazing store?? You'll have to wait and see...I debut there Oct. 1!! Stay tuned for the details.
Now, let's get to that article...I was fortunate enough to contribute my expertise to Home is Where the Art is Magazine, but not like you might think. Instead of sharing my designing experiences, I got wear my "teacher's hat." This article is one to read if you have kiddos going back to school. Check it here:
So please come back to see my debut kit and find out where I will be planting my digital roots.
Happy Fall!
