Hi all! Just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement! It's been an honor to serve you creatively as a sticker shop owner and I'm just so grateful to have such wonderful friends. Sending you all so much love! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so proud of you, Devnn!!! You followed your dream, stepped out on faith and opened your shop. Down the line you realized where your priorities are and knew the shop wasn’t high on the list so you made a hard decision to close it, for now. Please know that this isn’t a failure but an opportunity to address what’s important now and maybe later you can reopen the shop. Peace and blessings 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Marianne! Ahhh, you are truly the sweetest! Thank you for always being so encouraging. Yes, I very much needed that reminder that this wasn't a failure, just a detour and who knows? Maybe the path will lead right back to running a sticker shop, but for now, it's time to step away. Anyway, how are things with you? Hope all is well! ❤️
Your videos about launching your own shop and everything are so inspiring. Even with this it is still inspiring. It really is better to atleast try! And closing it for now or forever doesn't mean it was a failure or unsuccessful, but it was worth doing and trying! That's the inspiration I'm getting!
Hi Pam! I thought of you so much when I was making this decision...Please know that I'm so grateful for our friendship! You'll be the first to know if I re-open my shop. (': Sending you and Kermit so much love! ❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe I didn't see this sooner! I can relate in so many ways to the journey you shared. I wanted to open a shop for years and now that I'm one year in and dealing with taxes, I'm really debating if it's worth continuing when it doesn't generate much revenue and it's not my primary focus. You were an inspiration to me when I started and it was really encouraging when you favorited my shop (I never sent you a link, you must have come across it organically). I think it's great you were able to come to a final decision, how to best focus the little time we have is such a valuable thing to keep in perspective.
You are an inspiration to others. Always remember that and your kind and caring heart is a beacon of light for others. I am glad to see that you are doing your best to take care of yourself. We will always love you on your journey.
Hi John! I have to admit that is difficult for me to hear, just because I don't see myself in that way, but am so grateful to have made an impression like that. 🙏🙏🙏Sending many hugs and love your way my dear friend!
Love and hugs to you! The best choices are made when you put “self preservation” first. Best wishes and I’m glad I have my double order I’n the stash box on my planner cart.
Hi Reena! Sending love and hugs right back to you! ❤❤❤ Thank you for your support and I'm just so grateful that I had the opportunity to connect with you. Hope all is well!
I resonate so much in everything you said in this video! Good luck on your future endeavors and hope you find a new path that you’ll be happy with again!
Hi Krystin, thank you so much for watching and it means a lot to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Wishing you good luck, good vibes, and happiness as well! :)
It sucks that your pausing closing your sticker shop, but mad respect that you’re acknowledging your struggle of juggling of priorities and realistically making space for what you can handle. Whatever your further ventures are I’m happy to be here supporting. 🌟💖
Hi Devin, So sorry that this didn't work out the way you wanted it to. It is so difficult to walk away from something, but if it makes your life difficult in the long term then it is for the best. Stay safe, take care & give my regards to your wonderful family. 💜
Thank you for always being so supportive! I am really grateful to have friends like you who are so encouraging and understanding. My fam will be so touched to hear you're always thinking of them...hope you're doing well! ❤️
Hi Devin....So, you did it! ......You made it happen.....You learned more about yourself and now you can give energy to another endeavor. It's all good and you are on your way to something else creative. Can't wait to see what else you're up to! Sending you hugs ❤. ~ Stacy
Thank you, thank you! (': I have struggled with not wanting to disappoint others and it's just so incredible to have friends who have shown me nothing but support. Thank you Stacy and sending you many hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, With every ending is the opportunity for a new beginning. When life speaks it is good to listen and consider your choices and it sounds like you did. You will find your motivation for your next challenge when You Are Ready! You give us courage to be motivated and face our challenges. Enjoy & Thank You Always!! 🌺♥️😊
Hi Phillip! That is so beautifully put! Thank you for your support and encouragement. (': ❤🙏Please know that friends like you give me the courage to move forward! Hope all is well and please take care!
i feel you on the "wanting to do 10 things at once" thing. Which is why it has taken me for-ev-er to reopen shegreetstheday and luxandlia lol! Glad you had fun on the journey of opening your own shop, it's not easy but the fact that you can say you did it is always something to be proud of!
Hi Jane! Ahh, is it just the struggle of being a creative?! ❤✨🙏 Lol, take all the time that you need! (Advice I should probably give to myself haha). Yes, I'm definitely so proud and so grateful that I had the opportunity. (': It's amazing creatives like you who inspire me to try!
I got so overwhelmed with the sticker shop owners that progressing well, started following them for motivations, now it feels more like a negative trigger for me, then I stopped following and everything, and just go with my pace and slow down a bit, because making art, starting business are what I love doing, but looking at others, start creating this negative thoughts, comparing my progress with others, I don't want to start hating and feeling like I was forced to do what I love, so I take some step backwards, and just focus on my own progress💗 and take things slow
Hi Yasmin! I can relate to what you said so much! I started out watching all that I could about sticker shops and then it got to a point where I developed a negative association with it coming up on my social media feed just because I felt guilty I wasn't doing more for my shop. It's really great that you're taking a step back and I hope that you find the inspiration you need to follow your heart and as you said, go at your own pace. Wishing you the best of luck with your shop! Please keep me posted in how it's all going. 😊
Devin, if it feels like it is time to end this chapter, then it is. I hope you begin to feel that you are giving the appropriate attention to all the other important things in your life. This clearly wasn't an easy decision, so I'm sending love and hugs to you.
❤❤❤ Thank you for your continued suport and the reassurance! Even in these past few days, I catch myself wondering if this was the right decision, but all signs still point to is it's the best choice for now. Hope you're doing well and taking care!
Girl no wonder you got burnt out.. cutting stickers by hand and handwriting every single thing is too overwhelming to continue long-term. Especially when time becomes an issue. You can finance cricut machines through affirm, afterpay, zip etc. Like as low as $20 per month.
