What can we say except THANK YOU?

We returned home from #GAMAExpo with our cups overflowing with gratitude for everyone who:
🐑 joined our seminars
☕ chatted during the Women in Toys networking event
💬 shared what new ideas they were inspired to try

We are so excited to keep creating for you 💖

Yes! Crocheting makes me better at my job. I’m sure of it! And music, and movies, and books, and F1, and golf…all of it ⛳️

If you ever wanted a laugh track, that’s what 60% of this episode is 😂

Join us in our giggles, share your own hobbies, and start Woobling!

(But in all seriousness, hobbies are good for your mental health and work battery!! 🔋)

This must be scientifically proven by now: Hobbies clearly make us better at our jobs ✨

We share (with lots of laughs) some of our personal experiences with hobbies (mainly Woobles) and reflect on how those joys impact our work 🧶
