As well as sharing news from Bumbumbee Creative, I do love to share stories about the little bumbumbees and their various artistic exploits or how their birthdays and various life events inspire me to get creative (as if I need an excuse). \u00a0Well, the next milestone in the Bumbumbee family is a special one. Alex (my biggest cheerleader, motivator and minder) is The Big 40 and we couldn\u2019t let that pass without a mention. I do have a little something planned for him, but I don\u2019t want to spoil the surprise in case he actually reads this blog \u2013 but if he is reading this \u2018don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m sure there will be cake or \u2018food\u2019 of some description involved.\u2019 \u00a0\u00a0Alex does enjoy his food!<\/em> \u00a0I wanted to give him a special mention because Bumbumbee Creative would not be what it is without him. I won\u2019t embarrass him too much \u2013 but I do want him to know \u2013 it\u2019s all very much appreciated.

On the subject of \u2018appreciation\u2019, I want to say how much I appreciate all the love you\u2019ve shown both the Mother\u2019s Day Snowdrops Notebooks, and the postcards featuring your favourite Scottish words for rain, namely – Dreich, Pish Oot, Stoatin, Smirr and Drookit.

They proved so popular we decided to offer them as a set during this month\u2019s Fiver Fest and they were a huge hit. \u00a0Thank You. I particularly loved hearing your stories and the ways in which you connected with memories through these words so look out for variations on this theme in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of March we were tickled pink to announce we had joined Tea Green\u2019s maker\u2019s directory<\/a>. Tea Green was founded by Dundee-based jeweller Joanne MacFayden and is a pop-up events platform dedicated to showcasing Scotland\u2019s creative independent artists and designers. It\u2019s an honour to feature alongside such a wealth of vibrant, unique talent. There are so many stunning, quality pieces to be enjoyed and a whole community of designers, illustrators and artists to be celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the energy is certainly picking up around here things still feel a little chaotic \u2013 I mean look at the weather. One minute we\u2019re yelling scorchio and \u2018taps aff\u2019 (well that was Alex) and the next we\u2019re back to the more familiar dreich, drookit, winter wear.

I hope no matter the weather, you found something to inspire you this month \u2013 and I hope you are all looking forward to the days getting a little bit brighter in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time \u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
