Out of the blue last week, I got a message from someone on LinkedIn who had seen my work and wanted me to come and talk to them about launching their branding. At first, I thought it was a mass email scam thing. These things don’t happen to me, I don’t even promote myself on LinkedIn. Happy day, it turned out to be the real deal and off I went to chat with the creator of Droplet teardrop trailers. (umm cutest trailers – ever! almost makes me want to camp).

I’m pretty much a city girl, I enjoy the mountains and outdoors on day trips, I just like to sleep in a real bed, in a bedroom with indoor facilities close by.
