So happy for you, I so know the struggles of trying to make it work every month. We have opened a small business in our little town and it is very hard. When I started watching your utube this weekend I just assumed you had it all together, meaning financially. Assumptions are not to smart, I have been in and out of self employment for 30 years, crafting is in my blood, not good for the pocket book at times even though everything I look at I am making it into something else in my head.
I will share with you something happened to me many years ago. We had moved to Corbett Oregon, not knowing anyone, quickly made friends with parents of my sons friends . We were invited to dinner one day by a family that had 7 boys, the mom had just had a baby and she had breast cancer, the house they lived in was at the top of a mountian the winds would get 70 miles per hour at time’s. I pull up and she comes out and says someone left u a gift.
A gift?
Yes a gift.
I get out of the van and she comes over, hands me an envelope and says Jesus brought you a gift.
The envelope had money in it (I wasn’t going to be able to make my Electric payment), at this time my son ran out of the house screaming Mom your not going to believe all the bags for us.
I look at my friend she says “don’t be upset ” Upset? I was in shock. I walk in the house and there are bags triple stacked in an L shape along her living room, Filled with FOOD!!!. We had none.
We ate dinner, me crying, something like that really does humble you. Soon after that I found a job, well God found me a job. He knows what we need and how we should receive it.
I do not share this with everyone, but the point to this is…..this family had nothing, the Love of a Great God, the Love of Family and Friends, they had Everything! !! She told me sometimes they would come out of church and there would be food and money in their truck. GOD is Awesome!
Bless you with your business and personal life, I will be seeing you on the Tube, all my new love to u…..

Just found heirloom traditions and your new line yesterday. Gods timing for things is perfect. My friend and I have just opened a new shop and want to give paint classes. Looking for the perfect paint. Think I just found it. Already emailed my info for wholesale. A few things we say All the time are, “this is why we can’t have anything nice”. We say that like when we spill something or the revolving tree gets caught in the curtain. Another favorite is “pray hard”

Fabulous tutorial! So enjoyable to watch just a few days before Christmas! Here’s a fun quote to paint: “Never underestimate the power of a passionate DIY-er!” Merry Christmas to you and your great staff! ~Heidi

This is one my grandmother used to say to me, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger

This has been a favorite saying of mine for years…You know you have succeeded with your children when they can afford their own therapy
