BEST BABY MAT | Wunderkids Alzip Floor Mat Product Review
I came across this video and was very informative. What program do you use to design your cards?
I'm glad! I use Adobe InDesign to do all my graphic design, but also a bit of Photoshop and Illustration when needed for graphics :)
Another fun and lovely vlog! It always makes my day to see that notification that you've posted. I hope you pass your gestational test!
What a wonderful week you had! ❤ You seem to be settling in nicely. 👍I hope you will soon feel like you are fitting in - especially once you've committed to a church and gotten your Alberta license plate! 😊 I will pray you pass your gestational diabetes test. ❤
I am so glad you guys have found a church! Praise the Lord!
I’m so happy about it Donna!! Very grateful.
So sad when massages don’t hit 🥲🥲
Right?! I’m like what did I do for an hour… lol. So hard to find a good RMT that fits your preference 😜
Thank you so much! I've been doing a lot of research in the hopes of starting my own greeting card business, and your video covered SO many aspects I haven't come across in other videos/resources. I love how you're trying to maintain a balance between practicality but also adding heart to your products. Your shop looks amazing too! Thank you so much, I feel more empowered to start having gotten this information! Thank you<3<3!!
I’m sooo happy to hear you feel empowered! Thanks for saying that!!
Your new work area, studio looks amazing. You did a great job. All that storage is so helpful to have out of the way for you to be able to work on your table tops and work area. I love it! :) I'm glad you got to go to the Stampede. I've heard a lot about it especially from the other vlogger I watch who also lives in Calgary. I love the way Charlotte said "Ikea" lol
Thanks Bev!! It feels so nice being able to work without leaving my home 😭
Basement/office looks immaculate!
girl, you going rough
😂😂😂
This was a really cute vlog!☺️
Haha thank you! Short n sweet :)
You are settling in so nicely! Glad you went to the Stampede! 🤠🎉👍 And, yes, it's been SO hot! It's so great you have a basement to retreat to. 😊
Praise the Lord for the basement honestly 😝
What wonderful news! Blessings on your family. ❤
I'm so excited for you and your growing family. ❤ I'm a born and raised Calgarian and my husband grew up in Toronto. Everything you said about your Calgary experiences, first impressions, the weather (best conversation starter in Alberta, by the way 😉)...as well as what you miss about Ontario, are all so accurate! I look forward to watching your videos. 🤗
Haha I like the validation! Calgary feels so different than Toronto but I’m enjoying it so far!! Thanks Suzanne!!
This video is really helpful - thank you! I noticed you don't have barcodes on the back of your cards (but you do have SKU), I was wondering why you decided not to go with barcodes?
I guess I just didn’t feel like I had enough products to justify barcodes and a reader! The SKUs are necessary anyway for me to quickly see :) But def a future consideration. Thank you
Welcome to Calgary ❤🎉
Welcome to Calgary. Calgary is a city for people with family. The only downfall is water compare to Ontario. Mountains are all around. Banff is an hour a half away, but you can also go to places like Bragcreek. 30 mins if you are down south end of the city. Lots parks and playgroun ared everywhere for kids. There is also fishcreek park. People are friendly. You will grow to love he city.
Sarah, beautiful video, glad I found you. You have a beautiful collection of cards. Am a photographer wanting to start an online business. This was v insightful. Thank you.
This was definitely my confirmation for sure. I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not I should do physical goods or digital products….I am super happy for you! May God continue to bless you, your family and your business!🙏🏽🤍🫶🏾
Stampede this year broke record attendance since 2012!
I heard this!!! It felt REALLY busy when I went but I'm so glad I did!! :) Such a fun time.
i love your vlogs
It's because you miss us ;P
Not so minimal! But looking good!!
Hahaha I'm a maximalist now 🤓
Wow the basement looks great!! Congrats girl!
Thanks Desirae! It's stressful being a home owner haha
I just love how your basement turned out! Yay!!!!!!!
❤
Welcome to Calgary !!
Yay! Glad I came across this video! Love your products looking forward to purchasing... 'don't worry about tomorrow' is one of my go to scripts and you have a sticker ❤
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Sarah! Playing "what if" scenarios can get you pretty stuck, but I feel so much better now hearing from someone who has gone through the steps. I am inspired!
I'm a graphic designer and I've wanted to do greeting cards as a side hustle for years now. Thanks so much for all of the useful information!
My baby girl was named Autumn. I lost her at 5 months too. My daughter Charlotte was 8 years old and she grieved with us. Your story is so familiar. I got pregnant again very quickly and had an early loss. Now it's been 8 months and I haven't been able to get pregnant again. I am also wondering why God would do this to me, but I'm still hopeful. This was a beautiful video and I am very happy for you.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your process 😊
I am so grateful for your life and thank you for sharing your experience. This is such an amazing story of Hope and Light. I am hoping that I will have my rainbow 🌈 baby one fine day ❤
Oh man I really want swiss chalet (mimz)
Mims come here and I'll buy you Swiss Chalet...
I agree with you about the transactional nature of Faire. I have owned a wholesale studio for 36 years. My brand is carried in 680+ stores in 38 states. Faire contacted me to sign with them in mid-May. Its now July and my inventory still is not fully functionally uploaded. What they have uploaded they put the wrong prices on every single item. They are absolutely negligent in responding to communications and some of the communications I have had have been blatantly false. Like one I received earlier today telling me everything in inventory was uploaded and the prices had been corrected. I've had long term relationships with all of my 36 years worth of customers. Many have retired and gone on to other things but they still communicate with me regularly. We seem to be moving into a transactional society. I agree with you that's its limiting and probably not sustainable. So far, I'm not impressed with Faire as an organization at all. I hope that improves but I'm not necessarily optimistic.
Wow thanks for sharing. This video is a few years old but Faire still continues to be a challenging platform for me. I think it's amazing that you've had personal relationships with your retailers for that many years... I really hope to move to a more one-on-one type of wholesale approach... looking into working with road reps too!
Thank you
Hi, those containers open by moving that tab to the center, standing it straight up, then pretend it's an Amazon box and pull that tab from edge to edge along where it is standing ( the centre)..it works so easily once you learn how, but until then it keeps all that sticky, runny stuff inside the jar :) So what you need to do now you're in Calgary during summer is get outside and enjoy the good weather, you'll get some random nice days all year long, but it will be really cold and the streets covered in snow & ice most of the fall, winter, spring.. you are not in Ontario anymore. Join the library toddler times, free, and will get you out of the house, might meet a few parents with toddlers ... Good luck
Hey Sarah! Love your articulate and crisp videos. I am building a procurement solution aimed at small businesses and wanted to speak to you to understand your biggest pain points as an SMB owner. I was wondering if you could share your email and we can take it forward from there? :)
Hi! Thank you! Sure, my email is in my bio.
@@bysarahkim Emailed you :)
Sarah I’m catching up on your vlogs!!! Cards smelling like meat or kimchi 😂 scented cards like scratch and smell🤣❤️
Haha Katt! Honoured to be part of your RUclips watch seshhhh :P
Welcome to Calgary! I actually moved to Calgary last year so now we are now 9 months
Good times in the anatomy lab tho!
I'm moving to Calgary and leaving Toronto at the end of August for work and I still have so much anxiety. The fact of leaving my friends behind scares me because I have a large community of friends here. I really hope I'm not making a mistake
It's so hard leaving good friends behind... I hope you can find a good community in Calgary! But also Toronto isn't too far away and I don't think anything is ever that permanent! :) You (we!) can always move back haha.
@@bysarahkim Thank you for the response and you are one hundred percent right :)
That photo at the end with Char and her friend is so adorable! ❤ Happy for you that the basement is coming along nicely. Adding that extra space down there definitely added value to your home, so it's worth the loss of space for your office... but it still looks pretty spacious!
We really hope so! Thanks Dessss.
2022? This was uploaded 1 yr ago? It's 2024. I'm confused.
This was from 2022 winter. Maybe RUclips will update it to 2 years when it’s closer to 24 months :)
Do you number your designs to keep track of the orders? For example, if a customer orders multiple cards, how does the customer choose the design and you make sure you ship the correct product? Is the card number on the back with your information? Also, do you make your own envelopes? Finally, did you start out printing your own cards?
Yes Hi! All my products have a SKU and yes they’re printed on each card. I don’t make my own envelopes and no, I always outsourced my cards!
Im so new to your page so gald i come across your page ur a amazing lady beautiful soul
Welcome to Calgary! I moved here 7 years ago this August from Vancouver and love it. ❤
Love to hear this!! Thank you!
I've watched this video several times now, and it helps me in different ways every time. Thank you! :)
Great choice to move to the NW! It’s predominantly asians so there’s a sense of community plus a lot of kbbq restaurants are opening up here which is also a bonus
We’re actually not NW but close!! And yesss!
Welcome to Calgary! There are also many lake communities that are great for kids. Auburn Bay, Mahogany, Arbor Lake, etc
Thanks for the tips!
Nice. what weight coverstock are your cards?
They’re 100-120lb
Aww congrats Sarah!!! Only almost halfway thru my first pregnancy and already wanting another one for my baby to have a buddy with 🤣 it’s so nice that the ‘sisterhood’ is almost generational in your family! Hope the second half of the pregnancy will be good!
