Hello Creative Launchpad blog audience
As you know we've been flat out at work for the last few weeks trying to tie up loose ends and complete the Nottingham projects, which means we've neglected the 'finer' things in life (like sleeping...)
Nevertheless, we wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy festive season, and here's hoping we all get the chance to recharge our batteries.
Best wishes for a prosperous new year: make sure you tell us all about your progress!!
Carla, Jon and Bianca (and on behalf of Kelly, who no doubt has better things on her mind at the moment!)

Well I'm off on my travels next week. I will be meandering around South India and Goa for the next 8 weeks, hoping to expand my knowledge of the world and gain inspiration for my own creative work.
Although on holiday I know my entrepreneurial brain will still be ticking away, I’m hoping I manage to find some beautiful trinkets to import (making sure the people who make them are paid fairly and the products manufactured ethically) or at least the opportunity to start a plastic bottle recycling scheme for the beaches of Goa… Lets see what my next hair brained idea will be …. :)
I’ve started filling a new sketch book (ideas map) which I am praying will be full to the brim on my return. Most importantly since starting my business 5 years ago I haven’t really had a proper holiday and I can’t wait for the “down time” When you are running your own business there is rarely a moment when you can “switch off”.
The down time will allow me to think hard about the future for Carpet-Burns; more importantly how I want to develop myself professionally. Its only now ive had time away from my business I can see the real value and importance of maintaining a good life work balance.
