Pretty Pink Posh is Growing!

Many of you have been following me since I was a blogger, long before I started Pretty Pink Posh. However, I know that since starting my business, there are also LOTS of new readers as well.

Before I started selling stamps, dies, sequins and stencils, I was a crafter and blogger. It was my therapy and outlet after my car accident. In those older posts, I shared bits and pieces of my personal life at a very raw place in my life. I cannot tell you how therapeutic it was to both craft and blog during those times. Getting to interact with my readers, share my heart and then starting my business because of my circumstances has been something that I do not take for grated and I am so amazed and blessed by how much has changed since then.

There were many posts about the struggle of the accident and then also coming to terms that I most likely wouldn’t get married or have a family because it would take a special someone to understand and “put up” with my circumstances. Well, a LOT has changed since then….

Pretty Pink Posh is Growing!

It’s been over two years since I have done a personal post and little did I know that a mere six weeks after writing that last personal post, my life would change. I won’t get into all the details now but I started dating someone back in October 2017 and let’s just say he has changed my life.

Pretty Pink Posh is Growing!

Earlier this year, we got married and now we are expecting a new addition to the Pretty Pink Posh family in Spring 2020! I couldn’t not share this part of my life since so many of you have been following my journey for so long. It’s definitely an exciting time, but also very scary since this is our first child and we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into!

Side note: now I’m inspired to create both wedding and baby products!

Pretty Pink Posh is Growing!

It’s rare that I’ll share a personal post on here these days, since I know you come here for craft posts and updates on the shop. However, I also know that I wouldn’t be here without sharing bits and pieces of my journey and wanted to share this big update. Plus, for those new to the blog, you get to see a picture of what I look like (now with a baby bump)!

In closing, I want to say I am so incredibly grateful for each one of you- both new and old readers/ customers/ followers. It is because of you that Pretty Pink Posh is where it is today and your kind, sweet and encouraging words keeps me motivated to create new products for you. ♥

  4. Congratulations on finding your forever love and getting married and now on your new little bundle of joy coming soon!! I love the picture of the 3 of you, you are truly glowing. :)

  5. CONGRATULATIONS Paulina!!! I am incredibly happy for you. I have been following your blog since right after your accident and could not be happier for your success with PPP but more importantly your recovery, marriage and new baby!
    I have been busy helping my 91 y/o Mom & 97 y/o MIL for a few months now so I haven’t been able to follow up with my fave crafty blogs very much. In Sept we lost my beloved MIL and I am trying to get back ‘into the loop’ with my crafting.
    I love the idea of PPP getting into wedding & baby products but first take care of yourself and that baby. I’ll be looking forward to hearing about its safe arrival!
    God bless you and your growing family!

  6. Dear Paulina

My daughter and grand daughter are in Christchurch Newzealand and i juggle between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. I am excited as if my daughter is expecting a baby. Always hold onto something when you walk and always pray for a healthy baby.

  32. Paulina, I am absolutely ecstatically happy for you! Congratulations on your marriage; double congratulations on the soon-to-be new arrival! I’m reminded of a line from The Alchemist that says that when we wish for something deeply, the universe hears and responds. Your prayers – and ours shared for you – were definitely heard! I love that you’re building your own special, sweet family!

  33. Congratulations on your marriage and the upcoming birth.
    I’m glad you were able to rise above the pain from the
    accident. I was in a serious accident 33 years ago
    (yesterday was the anniversary). It has changed
    many things but I’ve led a good life and am happy
    with it. Hope you continue to do the same.
    Best wishes.

  34. What an amazing journey you’ve had. Life has a way of making us stronger. Never apologize for being human. It’s what brings customers and friendship. Who wants to spend their time and $ with ‘box’ stores that have no feelings or just count them as an order. Congrats on your strength. Your baby will open your marriage to a whole new, wonderful level. God Bless.

  35. Oh this brought tears to my eyes! I am so happy that you found that special person and that you are expecting a new little one!! I am so so happy for you both! You are so very inspiring Paulina! (( Hugs))

  36. Congrats Paulina!!! Sooooo Happy for you and your husband!! And we are ALL scared the first time, you will be just fine!!! <3

  38. Paulina! I am so happy for you. What a wonderful blessing you are carrying. I wish you so much love and happiness on this new and precious adventure.

  41. Omigosh, Paulina! I haven’t been following you but for about the last year, and had no idea of what you’ve been through. However in reading the back posts, you were BLESSED big time in so many ways – to have family near you and to come from afar to help, to have a helpful chiropractor and naturopath to guide you, and you yourself in how you’ve grown (pardon the pun – not talking baby bump here) within yourself to become the stronger and more determined person that you are today. You didn’t give up and wallow in self-pity, but made yourself stronger by doing what you needed to do to get to that point. I am amazed by you even more now than before. You are an inspiration to others in your story, and might want to think about writing more about it to encourage others going through their own difficult time.
    In the meantime, congrats on getting married and now having a baby! Such exciting news! And YES, I am sure we’d all love a monthly or every-other-month update post from you, even if it is about your thoughts and future plans. We’d love to pray for those kinds of things for you and your family and company also!
    Blessings to you all,
    BB

And I can’t wait to welcome Baby Pretty Pink Posh!!! 😘🎉❤️
