The 5-card surprise packs are back! A reminder that even though my brick and mortar is closed, I still offer curbside (more like porch) pickup and free Alexandria delivery (aka my daughter’s Phys Ed class ). #writetosomeone

Message from @emilymcdowell_ : Hi everyone, Emily here with a Christmas caption. We created this piece in partnership with @OptionB a couple of years ago, as a way to help support those of us whose holidays weren't feeling especially merry or bright. (Written by the talented and wise @karichapin, and illustrated by me.) As it turns out (thanks 2020), it's never felt more applicable. Even down to the sweatpants part. If you’re struggling through grief or loss or illness or da...rkness or exhaustion or fear or any of the above this season, you've likely figured out that the holidays can be a magical amplifier of terrible feelings. It's okay to be sad, it's okay to be angry, it's okay to be afraid. You're not alone in this, and if the shiny veneer of social media is making you feel like you're the only one... consider this a cordial invitation to put down your phone. (I take myself up on this one OFTEN.) If you can manage to show kindness and gentleness to yourself today, do that, whatever that looks like for you. (This piece is not available as a physical card, it's just an image designed for free sharing / posting / reading in solidarity.) #emilymcdowellandfriends #optionb #empathycards #emandfriends [image description: Handwritten text on a purple background reads: "My holiday wishes for you, now and always: May you remember that you are capable of getting to the other side of this. May you have a safe place to let go and have comfort close by, even if that means wearing the same sweatpants many days in a row. May you have the courage to say no when you need to, May you show yourself kindness, even when you think you should be stronger. May you find new things that bring you joy, feel in your bones the love people have for you, and trust that you will not feel lost forever."]

The shoppe is closed due to provincial lockdown. This week I will be working on updating my online shoppe. Curbside pick up will remain an option. Stay tuned! Je continuerai mes services en design graphique mais sachez que je ne prendrai pas de nouveaux contrats jusqu’à la mi-janvier.

This tired shoppe Girl is here until noon today! Last few hours before I close for the holidays and provincial lockdown. Come get your last-minute gifts or perhaps birthday cards you may need for January!

The shoppe is open until 7 pm this evening. Tomorrow from 9 am to noon. Last-minute shoppers, this is your chance! Due the the provincial lockdown, I will be closed from the 26th until further notice. More details on that later.

Here are a few stocking stuffers or last-minute gift ideas of some items I have left in the shoppe. I am here until 3 pm today. Please continue to support your small local businesses before the lockdown begins on Saturday. I can not thank my community enough for all the support they have showed me in the past months. Hugging you all... from a distance! #shopglengarry
