This labour weekend I'm taking it easy, although I do have some errands to run as it's all about having a rest from the usual "labour" that we have. In fact, according to some historical information New Zealand was one of the first countries to celebrate this day back in 1840 when an 8 hour day for work was negotiated and people celebrated this annually with parades.
Nowadays, it's all about the Labour day sales that are hardcore promoted with many rushing to stores to buy up before the item is sold out. I'll definitely not be doing that but perhaps instead will get some painting on for some more series like the one above that I gifted a friend yesterday on her 50th birthday.
The painting series gift was part of a gift hamper that I delivered to her that included a live plant i.e. gerbera, a bottle of non-alcoholic bubbly (who needs the hangover), a bottle of nostalgic perfume, Favourite chocolates, a couple of my fave books and a card.
This definitely beats buying out a hamper from a store during the labour day sales that don't always personalize what the receiver would like. Plus it's a whole lot of fun putting it together and dropping it off to the unsuspecting person.
So this labour weekend will be well deserved with so many of my projects beginning to wind up before winding down and with only two more months before Christmas shopping and all the needed rest that that season will bring...
