When you start something like this, you never quite know if it will pan out or where it will lead. I have to say that this journey has led me to all of you, and for that I am so grateful.
I have met some of the most amazing people since I started. I am humbled by the fact that some of you have purchased items in the past and look for me at special events. I look forward to having my "regulars" at least stop by my table at markets to say hello and to catch up. It's even more special when I randomly run into you somewhere and see you wearing one of my designs.
I want to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming when I think that you want to purchase something I've created. Even more so, when you trust me to create a custom item for you and your loved ones.
I love that I am constantly challenged by you. I've had customers say, "I have an idea." Then we work together to bring it to life. That is so rewarding for me.
This year will be no exception. I'm working on growing my website as well as expanding my product line. I have all of these ideas in my head that are chomping at the bit to come out. So, stay tuned!
I'd be remiss, if I didn't take another minute to thank you for your patience and grace this past holiday season. I seemed to be operating under Murphy's Law during the busiest part of the season. I went back to work at my old school, was sick more than I have been in years, and my Glowforge decided to throw tantrums and not work. All of these things combined, caused me to lose momentum and get behind in orders. I thank you for being so patient with me as I came down to the wire more than once in getting items to you.
I'm working on items earlier this year and trying to have inventory for popular items built up before the season starts ramping up. I felt horrible last year thinking was letting any of you down. I don't want that to happen again this year.
So, once again, I thank you. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Stay tuned for my market schedule. The first ones are coming up in March!
Love to you all,
Cindy
