Six years ago today, 27th October 2020, a little idea was born in my mum’s lounge during a pandemic. A few balloons, a hand-drawn logo, a head full of ideas and absolutely no idea where it would all lead.
What started as a little creative outlet became something so much bigger than I ever imagined.
Over the last six years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of so many special moments. First birthdays, baby showers, weddings, engagements and celebrations of every kind.
I’ve watched families grow, helped create surprises, met some truly wonderful people and turned complete strangers into returning customers, and also friends 💗
Every single booking meant someone trusted me to be part of a moment they would remember forever. And that is something I’ll always cherish.
You’ve all been along for the ride in my life as well, as I’ve fallen in love, got engaged, bought my first home and navigated all the little moments in between. You’ve all seen me through some of the happiest chapters of my life.
This past year, especially, has changed me in ways I’m still trying to understand. Losing my beautiful mum has made me see life, and myself, a lot differently. Sometimes life takes us in directions we never expected, as heartbreaking as they are.
So, on Paycasso’s sixth anniversary, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to close this chapter of my life and sell the business. I think it’s time to give myself the space to discover what comes next.
I don’t know exactly what that looks like yet. For someone who usually has a plan for absolutely everything, that’s quite something! 😂 But thats more than okay. I don’t need to have it all figured out just yet, and I’m both nervous and excited to see where life takes me next.
I’ll still be honouring existing bookings and taking on new orders whilst I prepare to sell the business, but the time has come to make room for something new.
To every single person who has supported me, booked me, recommended me, shared my work, encouraged me or simply followed along - a heartfelt thank you.
My fellow balloon artists - a massive thank you for being on this journey with me.
Six years. What a beautiful chapter.
Much love
Sarah 🤍
