Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate how far you’ve come. 🧡
When I look at these shelves, I see a whole lot of late nights, never-ending to-do lists, and one person trying to keep it all moving while balancing a full-time job and a business she loves.
Am I the biggest or most well-known T-shirt business in the county? Nope! But I’m pretty proud of what I’m building over here. Every order, every custom design, every team I’ve gotten to work with, and every customer who comes back means something to me.
Running a small business isn’t always as easy as posting a cute shirt on Facebook. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes, and lately, between busy shelves, shipping delays already, and a printer that apparently enjoys keeping me on my toes, it’s been a little chaotic around here. 😅
But one thing about me? If you ask me to make something, the answer will almost always be yes or “I’ll try my best!” Even if you’re asking less than a week in advance, I’m going to do everything I can to make it happen. With Halloween and the holidays getting closer, though, if you can get those custom orders to me sooner rather than later, it helps me SO much, the holidays shipping delays I am already seeing are taken effect and I want to make sure I can get all your orders done in the timeline you want them so the earlier I know about your ideas, the better I can plan and make sure everything gets done in time.
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who’s been patient with turnaround times lately! I’m working hard to get caught up, and we’re still sitting at less than two weeks most of the time. Toot toot! 📣
And I have to give the biggest shoutout to my cousin Cora and my work gals Maddie, Hannah, and Hayley for helping me at my most recent events! ❤️ I always say my best employees are my printer and embroidery machine, but you gals have been the best breathing helpers I’ve ever had. 😂 I seriously couldn’t have done it without you!
I’m finally feeling like I’m getting caught up and getting ready for a busy few weeks ahead: Oktoberfest at the Ruddy Duck this weekend, our Christmas launch the 24th, and the PTO vendor event on the 25th! 🎃🍂🎄
Busy season is just getting started, and I couldn’t do any of it without you guys. Every order, share, recommendation, helping hand, and kind message helps keep this little business growing.
Love you guys and the little business we’re creating together! 🧡🔥 Here’s to keeping the shelves busy, the printer cooperating (please🙏), and continuing to grow one order at a time!
Thank you for being here and supporting Fire Tees! ❤️
