Font ❤️ Friday and Other Designery Things #17

Hi, Subscriber First Name!

Thanks for Subscribing ♥

Hello and happy end of year to you.

I know… it’s not the last Friday of the month… This will be a quick one because, I have not got time to write much and you most probably ain’t got time to read much (I don’t want to interrupt your mince pie eating, Baileys drinking or just having a good break from it all). So, this is a roundup of the featured font of the month and with the most popular links form the newsletter this year. Enjoy!

FONT OF THE MONTH – 2023

A one click link to see what I selected as font of the month. I have collated all the past newsletters here for you to peruse… such a great word. Start at Volume No 6 for the January 2023 edition and take it from there!

FREELANCING

Be part of a community
I recently shared a post on LinkedIn on being part of a community. 

Quiet times
We’ve all been there. Everyone has a quiet lull in work sometimes, but you can use it to your advantage.

Also, I wrote a blog on Showcasing Your Freelance Skills with Confidence.

The Xmas office party you get to choose
Well, this has happened over the last few weeks. As freelancers we don’t get an office party…. So how cool is it that we have these awesome communities – so glad I’m a part of them. Freelancer magazine, Being Freelance and Inclusion.

Sign up to the waitlist for the Freelancer Magazine party next year, it was so much fun and great to meet everyone IRL. Have a look at these pics – I clearly enjoyed it way too much! Think Mel and I are in competition of how many photobooth pics we could get into!

#FONTLOVEFRIDAY

Well, well… going back and reading my past newsletters I have put a lot together over the year and I hope you have found some fantastic fonts, delicious designery things and points to focus on your freelancing business.

I’m off to Ghana in January but I’ll be back in time to host a webinar lunch and learn session on Wednesday 22nd January 2024, for Link Up London, on Standing out with great graphics for your business. It is free so sign up!

Workwise – We know freelancing has its ups and downs – hoping this newsletter has helped you out.. or you have seen something that has inspired you. I have been blessed to have great clients that have hired me and kept going for another freelancing year. Next year will be 12 years freelancing. If you have a project, you would like to chat about – let me know as I’m taking on new projects from March.

Stay safe, have fun, take reflect on YOUR awesomeness and as always THANK YOU for having me pop into your inboxes this year.

So onwards into 2024 we go.
