I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! @gzaexpo was once again such a wholesome expo, that I hope many of you get to visit next time! I got to talk to so many of you about life, time management, social media, and about how YOU’RE doing ? It’s been fun seeing previous attendees now have their own tables, getting those much deserved jobs and seeing what they’re up to today. Like that Spanish saying, “cosecha lo que siembres” and enjoying the frutos that it brought you! Keep making beautiful things and remember to take breaks! Thank you for all those that stopped by and took the time to talk to me as well. Know that it never goes unnoticed! ??? . . As far as items you saw at the expo, I’ll be bringing them on Etsy soon I promise! I’ll announce a date prior to launch, so keep an eye out for that! . . . #gzaexpo #illustration #visdev #womenartists #woc #plantart
