Encouraging Words: Love is the word of the Month! (Warning long post!)

 

Today is the last Saturday of the month! Today is going to be all about something I love and that has become a very important part of my life. This is going to probably be a long story! 

At the end of 2020 I closed my business that I dearly loved...it was time though...and I am ok with that. When I closed the business I spoke with this business owner that owned a small business like mine who had helped me in closing out my leftover inventory...I told her that the one thing I was going to miss was designing paper pads and stamps! I did not realize what a true passion that was until I really had time to reflect on the fact I was no longer going to do that.

That person was Jamie of Not 2 Shabby Shop...so we began chatting and talking and her Box of the Month was born...then it has expanded from there...So what does this have to do with love? I absolutely LOVE designing and am able to continue doing that....BUT so much more developed from this. I feel like I made a life long friend, I was able to pour myself into someone who also owned a small business cause that task is not an easy feat when you are doing it all by yourself. 

It thrills my soul to be a mentor and friend to Jamie and I am totally in love with the friendship we have developed and the fact I can help her in anyway that I can.

She recently reached 10K subscribers on YouTube and today just happens to be the Celebration Video hop...There are some awesome prizes! And if you happen to be searching for a small paper crafting store to purchase from, well you cannot get any better than Not 2 Shabby Shop! If you would like to follow along with the Video hop here is the first stop~

My card for today is also a subject that I absolutely love! I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE making coffee cards...This one is up of the Not 2 Shabby blog today for the last inspiration for the Mood Board challenge for February!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
