First Year Anniversary - Don't Panic Design

Happy Anniversary to me, and Don't Panic Design!  

One year ago today, late on Halloween night, I opened my Etsy shop of printable invitations and personalized note cards, at the urging of my sister.  A year ago November 1st, (tomorrow) I made my first sale.  Even though I didn't make another sale until sometime in January, that first sale was like a fire, urging me on.  It has been an amazing year, full of failures and successes, lessons, and celebrations.  And that's what I like most about this job: helping others with their special celebrations!  

In honor of celebration, let's celebrate with a giveaway!

 To celebrate the last year, and start off on a good foot this year, I am giving away three items that haven't hit my shop yet.  A set of 20 Just a Note note cards with envelopes, a small daily calendar, and a recycled envelope notebook with the winner's monogram on it.  In order to enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog.  Tell me your favorite memory of the last year.  The contest will run from Wednesday October 31st to November Sunday November 4th. Spread the word, and let's all celebrate together our achievements and happy moments from the last 365 days. 

 Thank you to my sister for getting me started here, thank you to etsy for such a wonderful platform, and thank you to all my friends, customers, and supporters.  It's because of you this year has been so awesome for me.  Really, I can't thank you enough!  See you all next (Etsy) year!

    Congratulations on your first year! Hmmmm, my favorite memory....An impromptu trip to Ireland this spring with my hubby! We've never done anything like that before, hopefully we'll be able to do it again someday.

    Congrats on your 1 year anniversary! :)

    I would have to say my favorite memory of the last year would be arriving in Hawaii - we recently moved. It was a breath taking view! :)

    Well done you!!! I am so proud! ( I am the above mentioned sister). I have had a wonderful year, the highlight has to be expanding my family by marrying my best friend! I am so lucky that our families get along so well!! Spending time with everyone is so great. Yep, that has to be it, but a close second was quitting my job!

    Happy anniversary, and many more successful ones to come!

    My best happiest memory of this past year has to be getting to see my son. I live in Montana, he lives in Pennsylvania. When my husband and I made an emergency trip in March to see his sick father in Ohio, I was able to take the car overnight to spend time with my precious boy for a day. I'm so glad I was able to see him then, as the next opportunity will be next summer sometime.

What ICE means and why you need it

What is I.C.E.?  I.C.E. stands for In Case of Emergency.  Hopefully you already know this, and you may already have I.C.E. contacts marked in your phone. As a back up, you should also have a physical card with names and phone numbers.  Carry one in your wallet, and keep one with your car registration, if you drive. For kids, consider pinning on in their backpack. Emergencies are by definition unpredictable. By taking a few minutes today, you can prepare yourself, or those caring for you to be able to identify you and contact family members or friends in a time of trouble of need. My mom has been a nurse for 40 years.  She loves her job, but she has seen a lot of things - and had a lot of bad days as witness and caregiver to terrible disease and destructive accidents.  Her job doesn't stop when the patient has been admitted. As a professional care giver, she is also responsible for contacting emergency contacts or relatives. Not only does it mak...

It's the time of year that people all over the world wait for: the holiday season.  Regardless of how you celebrate, this festive time of year is a time of family gatherings, sharing food, and fun.  Here in the Northern part of the Northern hemisphere, we have cold weather and often have snow. ( I hate the cold, and I'm not fan of snow - you have to wear so many more clothes...if I could live my whole life without wearing socks, I totally would. I don't know whey I still live here. It must be Montana summer amnesia.  By the time I remember I hate winter, it's too late to move.  I mean, really, who wants to move in the winter. ) Even though I'm not snow's biggest fan, much like how the seasons mark the passing of time, snow helps it feel like winter, and Christmas. I know there is snow in some places by now, but not in my town.  So, to help get in the holiday spirit - and help those of you who already are, I've set up a set of free Merry & Bright printabl...
