🎀I can hardly believe it, but my handmade business is turning 15 this month! I highly recommend just going for it and not waiting til all your ideas are perfectly planned out- open the Etsy shop, get your e-commerce website on Shopify, apply for the craft show, do the thing that you are talented at!
🎀 I’m very thankful to God that He has given me a creative talent, the ability to be a self-employed maker, and has blessed my handmade business. I have been able to use it to meet new people and bless others, and it has also given back to me as well. Every time I move, I think, “how will we find another house with a dedicated space for my craft room?” and “who will I find to help me in my busy season?” - God always provides someone in my life who is there for me. If you have ever helped me with my business, thank you so much for being there for me.
🎀 A big kiss and thank you also goes out to my husband who doesn’t mind my messes, gives me the entire first floor of our townhome as a dedicated craft room, and for trusting me to run my business as I see fit. He has listened to countless ideas and been on board for whatever I put my mind to. Thank you for always lugging my supplies to craft shows and workshops too.
🎀 If you are a loyal customer of mine- thank you so much for 15 years of supporting small local business and the spirit of entrepreneurship! I truly appreciate you and wouldn’t be here still doing my favorite type of work without your purchases.
🎀Looking forward to more happy years of Homemade Heartfelt! 🎀
