    All of your holiday items look so cute!!
    Have you ever thought of making a video on all the suppliers you use? Like where you get your notepads, notebooks, shipping supplies and that kind of stuff? Asking cause I would love to start a small business but don't know where to start XD You're such an inspiration!!

    Hi Emily, just want to send you a BIG THANKYOU for keeping me company, it's 2.30am in Australia and I'm suffering pain from fibromyalgia so sitting at my sewing machine and watching your video. You probably don't realise how many of your community you help when we're feeling poorly, you brighten up ours days and help us feel better. So once again from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

    I’ve seen a lot of small businesses pushing holiday launches a week or so. Which is honestly good to see. That’s the whole point of having your own business is making your own rules. No need to run yourself into the ground to feed the machine 💜

    As a person with anxiety since very young age but also addicted to the adrenaline of new goals and tasks… I understand you 🤟🏻😅 btw, I think you really deserve every single day you think to take as holiday, I still wondering HOW you can do everything alone when I see small business smaller than yours with at least two/three people to help the owner!! 😮 I have learnt to ask for help after a few burn outs and please, take your time! ❤️❤️❤️ ps. I love the new winter collection!!!!!!!! ❤

    After what's been a really difficult & gloomy day, I'm thankful for your video ❤️ I'm very sorry that you've been so overwhelmed but am definitely glad to hear that you're going to take more time off & have more help from your mom. Happy Belated Birthday to your mother! 🎂🎉 Your holiday launch items are adorable. The gingerbread men, snowman, & mouse are so cute 🩷 My favorite design & product in the launch though is definitely the bookmark where the cat is looking in the bookstore 🐱❤️

    @April.R646 5 дней назад +1

    Emily, the small businesses I watch all shut their business down while they're on break. Why don't you do that? I can imagine it'll be very overwhelming coming back to hundreds of orders. Or shut your site down until the week before you start back. Just suggestions. I love the holiday launch. Its all so cute.

Did you start out with an LLC when you first started out? I am planning on starting my own small business hopefully this weekend. Oh, another question. What are some of the first things you did before you started your business? Thank you in advance

    Thank you once again! Your Christmas items are my favourite every year. I don’t blame you for not wanting to retire designs. When you’re doing seasonal items it’s so hard not to look ahead so far and even if you did have a staff there are a ton of things only you can do when you have your own small business . Great job! Ps… the calendar photos can be used as wall art when the calendar is done. Keep up the great work.

    Hi Emily,
    Will you have any desk mats in your Christmas range? I didn't see any in the video. I missed getting your Spring one as I only started watching your videos after they had sold out. I'm not into Halloween, so I have been waiting for Christmas. Love, love, love your Christmas designs. I'm a big gingerbread and snowman fan.

    @heatherdavis3118 6 дней назад

    Wow Emily, another great vlog, but, of course, firstly, I wanted to mention the start of your vlog, you explained everything clearly, I could see you are uncomfortable about changing the holiday launch date, understandably, but, putting it back is of course the absolute right thing to do, I’m pretty confident it doesn’t change the way your supporters and followers feel about a slight change, so, you now can relax, take a step back, plan the launch with ease, (stop being stressed, naughty lady haha) we all love you very much ❤.
    I hope you and I are now fixed as friends? You might ask why? Well Emily, on my 39th wedding anniversary, you’ll be getting married…I was quite emotional when you said you’ll be getting married on the 7th June, I even rewound that very moment to make sure I heard you correctly…. YEY Emily…
