✨ **It’s all in the details…** ✨

How gorgeous is this sage and gold combination? 😍 Perfect for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, baby showers and those extra-special celebrations where the little details make all the difference.

Using the **Phomemo Ribbon Printer**, you can personalise satin ribbon at home with names, dates, messages, icons and more - turning a simple favour box into something beautifully bespoke. 💍🥂

For this elegant little wedding favour we used:
🎀 **Sage ribbon with gold printing**
🖨️ **Phomemo Ribbon Printer**
✨ **Sage pearlised cardstock**
➿ **Double sided tape runner**
And of course, our trusted Cameo 5!

🔗All are available on our website - www.skatkatz.com.au

The result? A beautifully coordinated, personalised favour that looks seriously luxe without needing to order custom-printed ribbon!

And the best part? Change the wording and you can create custom ribbon for **weddings, birthdays, Christmas, business packaging, gifts, events and so much more.**

Who knew a little ribbon could make such a BIG difference? 💚✨

It’s been a day!!

I’m post migraine and should NOT have been at work with my befuddled brain today! Well, at least not trusted to do anything remotely important!

What I’ve managed to do today :
✅ My brain isn’t working right and I can’t string together the words I want, so I cheated and used chatGPT to help me reply to not 1, but 2 emails….. and I left the chatGPT prompt at the start of my replies 😔 so embarrassing and unprofessional! I’m so sorry if one was yours!
✅ Spoken a whole other language all day so poor Simone has had to try and decipher everything I said! I call this language Migradyslexia!
✅ Greeted a sales rep as a lady, when clearly he WAS not!
✅ Had to ask a poor customer multiple times what her name was over the phone because I forgot and didn’t want to call her by the wrong name!
✅ Forgot Simone’s name - multiple times!
✅ Forgot where I worked!!

All these things will be one of those random thoughts that still make you cringe at 2am 20 years from now 🙄

Are you a migraine sufferer?? If so you know the post migraine fog!

Make me feel better and tell me the worst thing you’ve mucked up post migraine - or just in general!

Tomorrow is another day (and FRI-YAY!!!)
