✨🤍 WHAT A MOMENT FOR ENCHANTED INK… 🤍✨
I honestly don’t even know where to begin. 🥹
I’m so close to opening the doors to my very own studio, a dream I’ve worked so hard for, sacrificed so much for, and poured my heart and soul into. There have been tears, stress, sleepless nights, worries, and more moments of self-doubt than I could ever explain.
There have been times I’ve doubted myself, questioned whether I could really do this, wondered if I was good enough, and worried about whether all the hard work would ever pay off. There have been days when everything has felt overwhelming, when I’ve put so much pressure on myself, and when I’ve had to dig deep to find the strength to keep believing in the dream I’ve been working towards.
But I kept going. Even when I was scared. Even when I doubted myself. Even when things felt impossible. I kept showing up, kept working hard, and kept pushing myself because I believe in what I’m building with Enchanted Ink. 🤍
And now, before I’ve even officially opened the doors to my very own studio, I’ve received the news that I’m a finalist in NOT ONE, BUT TWO categories at the 2026 UK Small Business Awards! 🏆✨
Honestly, let that sink in for a moment. Two finalist awards, before my studio has even opened its doors. I don’t think I can put into words how much this means to me. To have the work I’ve put in, the sacrifices I’ve made, and the dream I’ve been chasing recognised in this way is incredibly emotional.
It’s a reminder that even on the days I’ve doubted myself, even when I’ve questioned everything, and even when I’ve wondered if I’m capable of making this dream a reality, I’ve been making progress all along.
I’m not at the finish line. I’m only just getting started. ✨
I want to say the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to every single person who has supported me, believed in me, booked with me, recommended me, shared my work, encouraged me, or sent me a kind message. Every little bit of support has meant more than you’ll ever know. You’ve helped me get to this point, and I’ll never take that for granted. 🥹🤍
I’m about to step into a whole new chapter, opening the doors to a studio that is truly my own, built from a dream that started with a little bit of courage and a whole lot of determination.
So here’s to the tears, the stress, the self-doubt, the lessons, the growth, and every single moment that has brought me here. Because today, I’m allowing myself to feel proud of how far I’ve come, rather than worrying about how far I still have to go.
Two finalist awards. One dream becoming reality. And a heart absolutely bursting with gratitude. 🤍✨
Thank you for being part of my journey. This is only the beginning of Enchanted Ink, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. 🫶🏼
