Everyday brings something new and painful. Every single thing I do, see, say and hear relates back to him in some way ๐Ÿ’” these photos were taken around 1 month before he died. God I want to jump into that moment in time to see and feel his happiness again ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I don't know if it's the right thing to do but I'm just walking through the fire of all the emotions and letting them in and out until they eventually burn themselves out and pass. There's just so many painful memories and reminders to experience, so many 'Firsts' without him. Constant waves of emotions and different types of pain I never knew existed ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Tomorrow I am heading back to Glasgow for 2 weeks to sort some things out.

I know I have to get through this, I can't get around it so I'm just embracing all the sadness (as well as all the kindness). I'm not suffocating it or trying to distract myself or push anything away, I'm keeping my eyes and heart wide open through it all in the hopes that one day it wont hurt so much and I'll be able to help others heal in the future. I have to.

We all need to learn to deal with and talk about the hard things in life otherwise we won't get through them.

I'm taking help from anyone and anywhere and I am just letting the wind take me where I need to go right now. You wouldn't believe how amazing and kind people are in times like this but of course I know I have a long way to go and so many bad and better days to get through ๐Ÿ˜ž

If anyone has any advice or ideas, that they think might help me get through this, I'm all ears and open to any suggestions. At the moment I am mainly just talking it through with a lot of amazing people and a great support system and taking it minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day.

BUT all I know is I NEED to turn my Pain into Power and Purpose so I can make something good come out of this. It's the only way I can see myself getting through this. I am still working on how that will manifest but....

He was the best, he deserves nothing less ๐Ÿฅน

It's been like a living nightmare. Without the help of the most amazing friends and family I wouldn't have been able to get through this.

Days I couldn't think or move they fed and clothed me, made sure I always had a place to sleep and took care of my animals โค๏ธ They've made sure I've never been or felt alone and welcomed me into their homes and lives with open arms. Friends I haven't seen in nearly 20 years have stepped up massively and gone out of their way to help. Its amazing how peoples true colours come though in times like this ๐Ÿ’—

It's crazy but I can't help seeing all the beautiful things and people in amongst all the sadness and tragedy ๐Ÿฅน It's been a whirlwind with so many freaky things happening showing us he's OK ๐Ÿ’ซ

I've landed on my feet for now and I am safe and surrounded by the best people. Thank you so so much to everyone who has reached out, offered to help and who I may need to lean on down the line. I never knew what an amazing tribe I had under my nose all this time ๐Ÿฅน

My last promise to Donnie is to make sure I look after everyone left behind and to help and heal as many as I can. I don't know exactly what form that's going to take or how its going to happen but I hope to return the kindnesses everyone has shown me ๐Ÿ’œ

I'm devastated to tell you that the love of my life Donnie passed away suddenly on the 12th of November ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”As I'm sur...

I'm devastated to tell you that the love of my life Donnie passed away suddenly on the 12th of November ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”

As I'm sure you can all understand, this is the worst, most painful tragedy and i'm trying to process everything. Please give me some time.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we remember our beautiful Donnie and the joy he loved bringing to you all โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

We had a great time at the Transport Museum Glasgow doing spray tattoos on behalf of Mini Manoeuvres ๐Ÿฅณ

It was a busy day but I've upped my game ๐Ÿ’ช I was able to do tattoos on 2 kids at a time before but I can now do 3 different tattoos on 3 different kids at the same time which means I can go much faster and get more people done in the same amount of time. Game changer!

For those that are unfamiliar with our spray tattoos they are:
โค๏ธ super fast (these ones take 30 secs - 1 min)
๐Ÿงก they dry instantly and are smudge proof
๐Ÿ’› water proof
๐Ÿ’š hypoallergenic
๐Ÿฉต popular with all ages and genders
๐Ÿ’™ can be customised to suit any theme or event!
๐Ÿ’œ the tattoos usually fade over 1-3 days
๐Ÿฉท easily removed with soap & a scrub.

And we are done!!! It has been a hectic Halloween, we haven't stopped working since our mini holiday so I have lots to update you all on! But first tonight we are chilling ๐Ÿ˜ด

WE ARE BACK! ๐Ÿฅณ

We had a really relaxing time away. Just what we needed, thought you might like to see some of the beautiful autumn colours and sights from little getaway ๐Ÿฅฐ

We hit the ground running again with a great event at The Burrell Collection on Saturday for their Medieval Day!

We're also catching up with enquiries and starting to prepare for some great Halloween (and even Christmas) events we've been booked for! ๐Ÿ˜ We have booked up surprisingly fast while on holiday and we still have more enquiries to get through this week!

So get in touch soon for any upcoming bookings!

WE ARE ON HOLIDAY! ๐Ÿฅณ

Hi fans just a reminder we are on holiday this week! Please do not message, call, WhatsApp or email us unless it is absolutely urgent. Though comments on Facebook posts are absolutely fine as we may keep you updated (and they don't stress us out as long as you're not asking us to work ๐Ÿ˜…)

We desperately need some time to destress, rest and recooperate ๐Ÿ˜ด

Feel free to use our site as much as possible to send in enquries, make orders or apply for an apprenticeship.

We should be back to business at the end of the week.

We have some good and some bad news ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

THE BAD NEWS: Donnie has fractured a rib ๐Ÿ˜– he injured himself around two weeks ago but he thought it was just a bruised muscle. Then we was carrying something heavy at an event last weekend and felt something just kind of crack and was left wheezing the rest of the day. We think that's when he fractured it ๐Ÿ˜” unfortunately there is nothing that can really be done but rest and let it heal.

THE GOOD NEWS: we are going to take some time off (finally!!). We're starting with just this weekend and next week week and he might need next weekend off (no events or bookings are being cancelled so don't worry, everything is still going ahead) and we're hoping he will be feeling much better over the next 2 weeks ๐Ÿคž

We really needed a break (just not that kind of break ๐Ÿ™ˆ) but it seems like the right time now so we'll be taking it easy for the next week or so.

You can still send enquiries, bookings and recruitment forms in via our site listed below just please no phone calls, messages, WhatsApps etc as we both need some down time to rest and reset after a hectic year. We will do our best to stay on top of urgent bookings (i.e any events/orders happening in the next 10 days) but we'll be a prioritising them for now and will respond to enquries for future bookings once we're fully rested and recovered ๐Ÿ’ช

We're confident we'll be back up and running soon and stronger than ever! In the meantime wish him a quick recovery so we can get back to bringing you the most unique and memorable events possible in our next event space! ๐Ÿคž

In case you can't tell by the photos we have a new trick up our sleeve (yes that is Donnie getting inside a giant balloon - do not try this at home folks! ๐Ÿ˜…) We are looking forward to bringing this new entertaining addition to some of our future events!

Thank you so much again to everyone who has been so understanding and supportive, we are so lucky to have so many of you in our lives โค๏ธ

What's more fun than getting in a giant bubble with your bestie? Putting your bestie in a giant bubble yourself!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

I love all the stages and emotions these photos capture! Bubbles are always a clear favourite at our events ๐Ÿ˜…

We offer both our very own sit-down bubble wizard show (unique, memorable and educational shows lasting 30-40 mins long) as well as interactive, fun and playful bubble sessions at our own events and for other events ๐ŸŽ‚

Potion making with one of my wee besties ๐Ÿ’“ This is one of the activities we offer at some of our own events as well as at other people's events.

It's always a big hit with the kids and we love all the creative ideas they come up with: choosing their colours, magical ingredients, special intentions and unqiue names when creating their powerful potions ๐Ÿฅฐ

But the best part is watching the potions bubble up when they are ready ๐Ÿคฉ No spills, no mess, rustic labels and lids glued shut and everyone is happy ๐Ÿ˜

We worked our butt's off preparing over 500 balloons in preparation for this weekend, then we worked non-stop, doing thousands of FREE balloons and tattoos over 10 hours, working as fast as possible (so that the queue was never more than 5 mins)!

99.9% of people were absolutely lovely and we had so many sweet and polite kids but when we had already finished, packed up (all our kits were packed away in the car and we were just trying to grab our first proper meal of the day at 4:40pm) 2 women started giving us grief for not unloading our car, unpacking our kits and doing things for their kids ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

We got abuse from these women as we were getting into our car (we were already outside of the event, literally on the other side of the fence) they were steaming but said they had just arrived (even though it was 4:40pm and the event was on from 11-4 ) and their kids were upset they didn't get anything, basically they were trying to guilt trip us saying what a shame we were doing that to kids and calling us a disgrace ๐Ÿ˜‘ they were relentless and so rude even when we tried to be nice and politely explained we finished 40 mins ago ๐Ÿฅบ

So unfortunately we're ending a great weekend feeling a bit gutted, despite doing everything we could to make as many people happy as possible and already going above and beyond ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

The irony is a kid was really rude to us after we first finished. We told him we were closed (which meant he couldn't get what would have been his 5th+ balloon of the day ๐Ÿ˜…) and he said "you guys suck" ๐Ÿ™ˆ and his mum completely put him in his place! Yet 2 mothers were so much worse and more inconsiderate and really should know how to behave better than a young boy!! ๐Ÿคจ I wish their mums had been there to put them in their place ๐Ÿ˜ 

Remember how intense our work is and how much energy and effort we put into every second, it was pretty unreasonable to expect us to unload our car and unpack our kits (40 mins after we were finished) ๐Ÿ˜’ The worst part was their kids didn't even want balloons, they were demanding face painting which wasn't something we were even doing today!!! ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I hope everyone who knows us and saw us working this weekend knows we always try our absolute best to go above and beyond to make everyone's day extra special๐Ÿคžit was so hurtful being made to feel like we were horrible people after we worked and tried so so hard ๐Ÿ˜ซ

To the 99.9% of people that were polite, lovely and kind, we really appreciate you. Looking back through these photos is just what we needed to lift our spirits a little ๐Ÿฅฐ some of the cutest faces at the end ๐Ÿ˜

Last busy event of the weekend and then a few days "off" ๐Ÿคฃ

We smashed it yesterday at Big Feed in the park with multiple balloons and airbrush tattoos for everyone! We're back again today from 11-4 ready and excited! ๐Ÿ’ช

I'm so sorry, I just want to help! This man is an angel. From what I understand his late mum started rescuing and helping street dogs and her son helped her and he took over once she passed.

He has an absolute heart of gold! As hard as it is, and the worse it gets with war/cost of living etc he takes in ever dog/animal dropped at his gates. They now have over 1600 animals who all receive receive medical care, have houses for shade during summer and huts they snuggle in at winter.

But the cost of living crisis is hitting them hard and he had an accident recently which has made things even harder ๐Ÿ˜ฉ They struggle to get enough food and with winter coming they are going to need to prepare for that soon too. I look at my fur babies and it breaks my heart thinking they could be in those circumstances so I do everything I can.

We donate monthly, when we have a good weekend we send extra and I also try to use our pages to raise awareness. My mum always said you can't save everyone but you should always do what you can ๐Ÿฅน even just the cost of 1 coffee, or a pint could feed dogs for days. The cost of a takeaway could help protect them from the cold all winter.

Please please please, if there is anything you can spare to help this man and all these animals get through winter would be sooooo appreciated. Even just Liking, Commenting and Sharing this post could bring it to the attention of someone who could make an impact so please do what you can ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Here are all the ways you can donate and help: https://linktr.ee/dejans_sanctuary_for_dogs?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=7314134b-60dc-4d81-a795-3ba05d41a7d6
