Doodling Lucy Is turning 5 🎂🎈

5 years. Where did that go?

I feel like first of all, I should address the other 5 in the room - the 5 at the end of my instagram handle, where Doodling Lucy all began. So the reason I am is because Doodling Lucy on it’s own was already taken, so when I realised this I thought well I’ll just add a number on to the end. So I went for my favourite number which is 5. Why 5? Well 25 years ago when I was 5, I thought to myself ‘this is a pretty good age’ and when I turned 6 I missed being 5, and so then it became my favourite number.

So, turning 5 feels pretty special!

If you had told me back in 2016 (which is now 9 years ago um what?!) when I haphazardly began an instagram page that 4 years later it would become my full time job and 5 years after that I would be running it successfully from the other side of the world I would probably have laughed in your face.

But here we are, doing just that.

It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey but one I wouldn’t have been able to be on without your support. Some of you who are reading this will have been here since 2016 and some of you are new faces. But either way I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of your encouragement. Doodling Lucy is my dream and you made it come true.

As a little gift from me to you take 15% off everything with the code DLBIRTHDAY valid until Friday 10th January 2025

Here’s to 5 wonderful years, let’s see where the next will take us!

Due to a large number of messages asking if I have any calendars left I have opened one final preorder window for the 2025 British Native Breed calendar. This will run from the 2nd of January until the 6th of January. There will then be a 2 week turn around time to allow it to go to the printers and be sent out - due to the fact you will most likely miss January *sob* I have reduced the price a little - but you still have 11 beautiful months to enjoy!

Please note if you are ordering another item with it they will be shipped in the same order and therefore will arrive later than usual. Should you want this item to arrive quicker please create two separate orders.

As always £1 from each calendar will be donated to

❤️A message from me to you:

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever you are up to!

But, as always with times of joy there is a lot of mixed emotions surrounding Christmas. So if you are finding this time of year particularly difficult be sure to be kind to yourself and how you are feeling.

Social media has a wonderful way of making everything seem perfect - but no one, and no situation is perfect.

Behind every beautifully curated Christmas photo are real humans with a broad spectrum of emotions, a potential family argument, a friend who is lonely, someone who has been through a break up and is putting on a brave face, someone who was desperate to have a baby with them this Christmas, a family spending their first year without a loved one - the list goes on.

Emotions don't stop just because it's 'the most wonderful time of the year' and joy and sadness can coexist in the same moment.

If you know someone who may find this time of year difficult reach out to them - no matter what they put out on social media. Or if you are struggling never feel like you can't reach out just because it's Christmas.

Sending lots of love,

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support Doodling Lucy and it's chosen charities.

As you may or may not know, Doodling Lucy has three core values:

🌾Back British Farming
🧠Removing Mental Health Stigma
♻️Sustainability

These values can be seen throughout my work, work practices and through the charities I continue to support.

This year I was able to raise £1104 for charities which support Doodling Lucy’s core values. Although I initially wanted to beat last years target, I know that this year has been a different to last year for so many different reasons so I am so pleased that we could still raise this much!

Here's to 2025 and more charity donations!

And just like that another business Christmas is over!!

This one has definitely been the most different yet, from passing on the baton of packaging your orders to working from Australia it was anything but a usual Christmas.

But a few things remain, my love for my work, my core values of backing British farming, remaining sustainable and removing mental health stigma and most important of all - you as customers ❤️.

Thank you so much for all of your support, orders and cheerleading. 5 years on it’s still a pinch me moment that up and down the country my cards will be on mantel pieces and my tea towels will be hung in kitchens 🥹

So a huge thank you - you don’t know how much it means.

Happy Christmas,

Lucy x

🚨Today is the last day to order for Christmas! Please make sure that all your orders are placed today! 🚨

I just wanted to take this moment to send a big THANK YOU to everyone who has placed Christmas orders. It means so much to me.

This year has been a huge year of change and to know that Doodling Lucy has been a constant has been so reassuring.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas,

💌🚨Important shipping update 🚨💌

Due to delays in shipping I have taken the difficult decision to move my final order date forward to the 14th of Dec instead of the 16th.

Losing two days of business in the busiest time of year is not something I wanted to do at all, but making sure your orders get to you is the most important thing.

Please do not put off making your orders - the earlier the better!

Thank you so much for deciding to shop small and shop with Doodling Lucy it means the world,

Your final order date this year is the 16th of Dec however as this is the busiest time of year there do seem to be delays with most couriers.

Please don't leave it too late, make sure you put your orders in well in advance to make sure you get them before Christmas.

Head to doodlinglucy.com now!

I would love to 'guarantee' these dates however once our products are packaged and sent its out of our hands. We can only go by what the couriers are saying.

Thank you so much for supporting my business this Christmas and for your patience!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has placed an order over this weekend - Black Friday and Cyber Monday can be SO stressful for small businesses.

Especially those who decide to not take part - it can feel like we are being completely over shadowed at the most important time of year.

I pride Doodling Lucy products on being designed and made in Britain and ensuring that they are a fair price for you whilst also making some sort of profit - which is why I am unable to make any huge cuts this time of year.

So thank you for sticking with me - it means the world!

Lucy x
