Flex Friday: Busy Hands, Full Heart 💖✨

-

This week has been a whirlwind — in the best possible way. Between my full-time job (lots happening there!), being a student again 🎓, and prepping for a jam-packed weekend, it’s been nonstop motion.

But honestly? I’m grateful for every single part of it. 🙏

Tomorrow kicks off with something extra special — a craft party for a group of 12-year-old girls celebrating Gracie’s birthday! 🎉 I can’t wait to see their creativity shine and their excitement as they make their own designs.

Then Saturday, I’ll be at a pop-up market in the Cibolo/Schertz area, sharing my latest holiday products, bundles, and wraps. 🛍️

And Sunday? It’s all about wreaths! 🎀 I’m hosting a Wreath Party, and it’s shaping up to be such a fun, festive way to wrap up the weekend (pun totally intended 😉).

On top of that, my Etsy sales have been steady and strong, especially with all the holiday wraps taking off. It’s such a blessing to see people finding joy in what I create.

This Week’s Reminder 🌟

Life gets busy — really busy — but when you’re doing work that fills your soul, it’s the best kind of busy. I’m thankful for every order, every event, every student moment, and every person who


supports this journey.

Here’s to a weekend full of creativity, connection, and a whole lot of gratitude. 💕

My First Sale - That wasn't a friend or family member.

-
There comes a moment in every small business owner’s journey that feels like a rite of passage. No, I’m not talking about picking the perfect logo or finally figuring out how to price your products without second-guessing yourself (although those are both real struggles). I’m talking about The First Sale. Not the “Oh, honey, I’ll buy one” from your mom. Not the “I love your work! Do you take Venmo?” from your bestie. Not even the “I’ll support your business!” purchase from your cousin who still owes you money from 2009. I mean the first REAL sale —from a complete stranger. Someone who doesn’t share your last name, isn’t in your group chat, and gasp actually wants what you made! How It Happened So, there I was, minding my own business (literally), when I got The Notification. You know the one. 📩 Cha-ching! You’ve made a sale! At first, I assumed it was my sister or a coworker trying to be sneaky. But when I checked the order details… I didn’t recognize the name. I blinked. Could...

✨Blogger Post: Weekend Wrap-Up – Market Magic & Backyard Love✨

This weekend was full of heart, hustle, and hot cocoa — and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. On Saturday, I set up shop at a local vendor market. Even though there were a few other big events happening nearby, the crowd still showed up strong. The hosts did an amazing job promoting, and it reminded me how important that piece is for small businesses like mine. Every customer felt intentional, like they made a choice to come out and support us. That means everything to a maker. Then Sunday rolled around, and I tried something new — a pop-up market in my own backyard. I didn’t go into it expecting a crowd, just wanted to open my space to friends, family, and neighbors… and wow, they showed up! From sangria to support, it felt like one big warm hug from my community. 💛 These two days reminded me that support doesn’t always look like a crowd — sometimes it’s one person telling a friend, one neighbor popping in, one kind message on Instagram. That ripple of kindness is wha...

✨ Flex Friday: Fiesta, Family & a Sparkly Little CEO in Training ✨

-
Sometimes the biggest wins don’t come from big crowds or big booths… They come from a two-hour craft fair at an elementary school , under paper flowers, surrounded by community, family, and the unexpected magic of handmade joy. This week’s flex? A Fiesta-themed event hosted by my niece Gracie’s school , and y’all — it ended up being everything. Gracie, the Accidental CEO 👧🏻✨ Knowing she might get a little bored, I brought Gracie some silicone beads to play with while she sat at my booth. You know, just something to keep her busy. Cut to: Gracie crafting up the cutest little keychains you’ve ever seen , and casually laying them out on the table like she’s been doing markets for years. No sign. No price. Just sitting there being adorable. Then it happened… A woman walked by, picked one up and said, “Oh my gosh… these keychains are BEAUTIFUL!” 😍 I blinked. Gracie blinked. I said, “Yep! They’re for sale!” ( Internally: Are they? They are now. ) The lady BOUGHT it. Gra...
