Christmas Cards


I used to make Christmas Cards myself once. I don't consider myself specifically creative but I think they looked ok. So when a colleague arranged this charity event at work to make Christmas Cards for disadvantaged children I was in. 


There was so much sparkly stuff all over the place. And people came up with the most brilliant ideas. I decided to stick to something as easy as possible. And something where I could include a lot of sparkle, obviously.

I have to admit, I wasn't exactly pleased with my end result :D


In addition to doing charity for children, me and Anni decided that one of our sales people deserves a little charity as well. She's the one who always manages to keep calm when I screw up and she has to take the blame from the customers. She's the one who always reminds me that I'm not the only one in the world who makes mistakes and that sending stuff to the wrong address isn't probably going to stop the world going around. She's always lovely and ready to help when we ask her something for the umpteenth time.
  
So, I made an extra card with a LOT of sparkle and Anni composed a little thank you-rap song for her.  


Continuing with the wonderful Christmas spirit, the Christmas markets are opening all around in the big cities of Europe, Bratislava included. I've heard great things about the Christmas market in Vienna, but that will have to wait for couple more weeks. This weekend is dedicated for Bratislava. 

Have a lovely Weekend !

Challenge Accepted !

As mentioned in the previous post I am not happy with the new job and thus the life I've lead since the beginning of 2018. This unhappiness and how stress has literally occupied every corner of my mind can be seen also as the loss of all creativity in me, thus the blog has been silent for months. But now, with a new set of goals and a new determination born from the ultimate disappointment that this new job has been, I decided to challenge myself: I found a list of 10 questions worth asking myself. Whether as an employee, a manager or just an individual these 10 questions seemed like interesting points to ponder on so from now on I will ask myself one question each week and see what thoughts come forth. First of all this is a good idea for me because I love writing and I've missed it. But also I hope I will come up with new ideas and perhaps some new realizations about myself and my life that I maybe wasn't aware of before. So, challenge accepted

How Do I Cherish the Moment

Kuva
Overall I have been quite good at cherishing the moment. It has a lot to do with the ability to appreciate the little things in life; whether it is a sunny day (rarety in Estonia!), a great meal or a cuddle from someone special. But recently I have found myself struggling to cherish any moment. There simply hasn't been any moments worth cherishing. Except the moment when I bury myself in bed and slip away from this world for 10ish hours. I got myself a new job at the beginning of the year and despite it being a large step-down from a Project Manager position I felt hopeful because it was a big company with surely many opportunities to grow professionally and move forwards in my career. How wrong I was... The company culture is everything BUT forward-looking and open. The company, it's values and it's way of operating is a complete opposite of me as a person and as an employee. This together with the fact that it has been one of the most stressful winte
