AFFIRMATION 2
time to let go
“If only letting go of bad habits and fears, was as easy and as fun as letting go of, and popping, these balloons …
This Affirmation highlights beautifully the problem with Perfectionism, and the Struggles of Letting Go.
Big Sophie wasn’t going to release this one, Not Good Enough she kept saying, but I forced her to, because if you keep waiting for tings to be perfect, you’ll never release anything; so we both know this one isn’t perfect, but because it isn’t … it kind of is :)
Sometimes you’ve just got to see where the wind takes you, and accept, that it’s Time to Let Go.“

REALISTIC PENCIL DRAWINGS
“CAPTURING FEMININITY IS WHERE MY HEART IS.
I started Drawing in 2013 just for fun; sketching random scenes from Anime, or trying to bring my favourite Videogame Characters to life. However, before I knew it, I found myself going down a more realistic route :)”

SKETCHBOOK
“Never leave home without a handbag … sorry, sketchbook :)
Actually, never leave home without a sketchbook in your handbag :) Heehee, sketching is where the magic happens!”
lilSOPHIE
“In 2013 I had the idea of a character called lilSOPHIE … in 2017, I finally started to bring her to life. She’s a bit cheeky, but I’ll let her take over from here.
My creator, Sophie Lawson, calls me lilSOPHIE; so I like to call her big Sophie :) My little page is a bit like me at the moment, not fully formed lol, but soon, once big Sophie gets off her fat arse, I’ll be sharing some of my daily affirmations with you … and maybe a little bit more, eww, does that sound rude?” *hides face*
