For a little blog post today, I wanted to share with you something I have been thinking about lately, due to an increase in the number of e-mails and phone calls I have received from fellow party designers, graphic designers, and all the other many creative company in which I am so bleed to be surrounded by!

I have heard so often lately the concern about the recent flood of new children's party designers/planners/stylists, dessert table designers, and party printable designers.

There has been doubt, fear, disappointment, discouragement, frustration, anger, sadness, and many other feelings that have been expressed to me (and of course, don't think I don't ever feel these things myself!).

What I would like to propose is this: You may have been a Big Fish in a Small Pond.

Now, the pond is rapidly getting larger. You may start to feel like a Small Fish in a Big Pond. And that is a perfectly okay place to be!!! However...

This change is incredibly difficult, it can shift everything, and as a person who is personally attached to my own business, I know first hand the emotional roller coaster this can put you on.

There is still another scenario that hasn't been mentioned, and one I want to encourage you with:

There is still room for a Big Fish in a Big Pond....make take awhile to grow and get there, but it is possible.

As a matter of fact, I believe there is room for many big fish in the big pond!

Just some food for thought.
