HELLO, I'M ANNA...
Welcome to my creative little corner of the internet!
I remember the day I first discovered planner stickers, I was looking for a planner of my own, trying to get a bit more organised now that I had a new baby and decided not to go back to work and go self-employed/stay-at-home mum. I found The Happy Planner and from there I found this incredible community and the new world of stickers.
HELLO, I'M ANNA...
THIS IS WENDEE WITCH
THE FIRST STICKER I
DESIGNED ON MY IPAD!
I knew as soon as I watched my first planner and sticker haul on YouTube that this was something I wanted to be a part of. I spent my days sketching out ideas with a toddler running around but the idea of taking it to the next level was pushed back. I moved house, I had another baby, post-natal depression, and then we went into lockdown.
Lockdown was a strange time for most of us, but it allowed me to take my sketches, turn them into real stickers, and sell them. October 2020 was my first month and I couldn't believe the response, people liked them, they were selling, I saw them being used in people's planners and in the very sticker haul videos that inspired me.
I have always known that I wanted to create, design, and draw my way through life and this opportunity has allowed me to discover myself in ways I didn't know were possible.
So if you're reading this and you're thinking of buying from me or have done in the past, or maybe you haven't and you're just supporting from afar, know that I am incredibly grateful to all of you, thank you very much for every like, comment, post and order.
Now, that's the serious stuff out of the way...
Well, where do I start? I am 34 years old, I am a stubborn and independent Capricorn. I live in the countryside surrounded by lots of family. I work in a small outbuilding in my garden that I have turned into my happy place with fairy lights and artwork all over the walls, including some crafted by my two small creative assistants.
I hate coffee, I know, unpopular opinion. I love a cup of tea on a cold day or when it's raining. I love the sound of the rain, I have watched Pride and Prejudice more times than I care to admit, poetry normally makes me cry and I could not survive without bread and cheese in my diet. I like a tidy house but creativity trumps housework every time, I struggle with anxiety that on occasion stops me from leaving the house and as much as I love getting dressed up, leggings and a hoody will always be my closest companion.
I love Taylor Swift just as much as I love listening to heavy metal, I love cute things and dark things, crappy soaps, reality TV, sarcasm and truly awful dad jokes. Philosophy is always interesting and I am currently, with intense frustration, trying to learn how to crochet. I bought a keyboard 3 years ago with the hope of teaching myself piano but it is currently gathering dust, but I keep it around because maybe one day I'll find time.
I have designed this website for various reasons, one is for me, somewhere to put my thoughts down, and share my creativity and life. The second is for professional reasons, to find work, and make a living, but the third is for you. My hope is that this will become a small place where other people come to find inspiration or find cute things that make them happy.
Thank you for being here, happy planning! x
