I’ve read your very informative blog and if you change one thing, I’ll be right over to change you back again. You are unique and you’ve got the goods. Rude comments come only from jealous individuals who don’t seem to be able to knock the ‘T’ off can’t. You’re a gem!

It’s given me cause to reflect upon my own business (again, for for I do it often, but this time perhaps with more focus) and renewed hope for its future. …Off now to think about my “why” 🙂

And of course, The Golde Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” I think you are adorable and I have been watching your videos for at least 4 years now. Any time I need inspiration, or a pick me up, I tune in. Your videos are just so much fun to watch!! And all of your business tips, photography tips, etc. are so very helpful and appreciated. You bless a LOT more people than those few who say they are annoyed. May your success be above all that you asked or imagined!!! ~Tina :0)

It’s definitely not about the money. I am passionate about crafting. It’s who I am, not just what I do. It brings me joy and peace (and sometimes a little frustration, just to keep things real). I believe that everyone had the capacity to create. Sometimes they just need a little encouragement and inspiration. I hope that I can share that encouragement and inspiration through my blog/shop. Happy crafting to all!

Yes they are needed but I so would like to see the small business owners of this great country take control of our manufactured goods again! It is the imported garbage that we purchase from them that feeds them, not us. I don’t want to get political but we need more entrepreneurs in this country to step up to the plate. We have a woodworking business where we create, build and repair furniture. I can always see the difference of the items made in this country as opposed to imports. What we also have to understand is that the workers in other countries that build the garbage we purchase are often mistreated and always underpaid. Anyway, keep up the good work lady, you are an inspiration to us and we value your effort.

Love watching your videos, reading your posts. Haters are going to hate. Those who take the time to want to post something so rude and mean are just truly unhappy people. Your sweet spirit comes through and your passion for what you do. Never change! I agree with Nancy Carr below….blessings to you and your business!
