Stacy, I'm not sure if you are still reading comments on this post, I came across your video teaching on the Japanese art for your ornament and I was intrigued. I'm a quilter, and I have made various types of fabric ornaments over the years. I have always wanted to have a quilting business that could provide a sustainable income to support myself, but I have not yet taken the plunge. I have lots of ideas on how I can do this, and you have inspired me not to hold back any longer and just go for it. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. God knows the plan he has for you, we all have choices and you have chosen well. I chose to raise my baby by myself as a single mother, and divorced her father when she was 2 months old. It was a very hard life with many struggles but my faith in Jesus kept me strong. Now my baby is grown, has given me 4 beautiful grandchildren, and she just finished nursing school, and working full-time as an RN living her dream!
Omg, I just found you video today on youtube and you are amazing, such talent!! Your story tugged so hard at my heart strings, especially when you said your husband passed with young kids at home. I am so sorry for your & your kids loss. But that isn't the defining part if your story, the fact the you overcame is what sets you apart! Throughout the many ups and downs you persevered!!! I am a Christian, so for me I know all your hard work, dedication & talent is truly a gift from God & He has be right there besides you helping you the whole way. And He gave you this gift to share and to inturn give back to other, which you are so awesomely doing, as you now get to employ others,maybe, struggling mom!!!! You're such a blessing, idk you at all,I watched you video and had to comment, because I'm sure by now you know just how big of an inspiration you are to so many!!! I am truly so happy for you and your family 💕 I love love love to see people using their God given gifts to shine a light into this often dark world. I hope and pray you already know Jesus, because He already knows you & He is the one who made you the seemingly amazing women you are today!! I didn't intend for this to be a sermon but the holy spirit is prompt in my words I guess God bless you thank you for sharing I'm looking into starting fabric ornaments I so and quilt so this would be a lovely addition to sewing & fabic crafting addiction.😁🤫 Lol. Much love many many prayers!!! ,💕🙏Jennifer, Bakersfield Ca.
Awesome job! I'm so glad to hear a hard knocks of life true story .Its amazing that you have come so far .I love your ornaments. I hope you have continued success .
I think you are awesome, everyone needs to remember you had young children to look after as well as your self, and keeping a roof over your head. You need to be commended for your initiative and perseverance plus you ended up employing local people. Congratulations I hope you go on forever ❤️.
You are amazing and blessed. You have worked hard. I am a grandmother of a 3 year old and i decided to do daycare for her, she is my world along with 3 other granddaughters 17,19,21. I'm 64 years old and boy have i had some finacial falls. I'm not smart enough or young enough to go for it. I am learning a lot from you. I have made some ornaments and love doing them. I'm trying to make one for everyone of my children and grandchildren for Christmas. The first two i made is not pretty at all. I would never know where to begin, would love to work from home and make funds. Good luck and God Bless you for your honesty.
I just loved hearing your story in such a down to earth chat! You have done an awesome job and made a living off something you love doing with honesty and integrity and I think that is a big reason you have been successful! I’m so fortunate to have been along for the ride from the very first kit of the month! It has been wonderful! Much love and blessings to you and yours and all the OG family 💞
I joined the Ornament Girls in 2019 and I so wish I had been there from the beginning! You and your business attract some of the most wonderful people who are just like you: transparent, supportive, honest, and humble. It's not just a business, but a community, and I am so glad that I happened upon your website!
Thanks Staci for sharing your story. So sorry to hear of your husband's passing, but you got your life back on track for your kids. So happy for you now having George in your life and your business is booming!! I'm happy for you and have enjoyed making your kits. Not sure if doing a business is in my life right now as I have retired and enjoying not working LOL!! I do support you and wish you the best in your business and keep those cute ornaments coming!!
Good morning. Thank you so much for sharing. I am encouraged with your journey. I live in Trinidad and Tobago and I too am on the path with building my business. Need lots of help. In the pandemic, not able to do face to face, its all online and thats challenging. I will keep going and staying focused. Thanks again for this.
You are so inspiring!! I love making no sew quilted ornaments! My goal is to buy all your ornament videos!! Lolol I too really want to start a craft business, as most of my friends keep telling me I need to get a web page. It's a little overwhelming, but just need to know what first step should I do? I also do many other crafts as well, but my ornaments are the favorites.
Staci, you are a true inspiration!! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing story. You and your team do an awesome job on your instructional videos. I have come back to OG and glad I did!!!
Just watched your video from a year ago , what an amazing journey you have had . But so sorry for your loss , it must have been devastating for your family. So pleased that all has come well for you, you so deserves it. Have only recently found you, on good old you tube, and subscribed 👍. I have now got the BUG . Have made about 8 of your star ornaments. Forgot too say I'm in the UK . Could you give me some idea of shipping cost . And would like too wish you all the continued success you deserve. Best wishes Christine ❤️
Stacy, your story is so down to earth and real. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. I'm sure you will inspire many to reach for whatever goals they set. You went through hell and you kept on going and that's sure what it takes in the world today. Keep on keeping on kiddo!
Congrats on building a business from the ground up and doing so well. Thank you for sharing so much information. Best to you & your entire OG family. I love making the monthly kits.
Amazing story! Your hardwork and dedication shows in all you do. You should be proud! You've raised a family and supported so many stay at home Moms on a business that corporate exec would scoff at. But you did it and Congrats to you! I really do hope you can bring your "How to Start your own Business" course to fruition because I would be the first to sign up. I have researched a bunch of these courses and I always balk because I fear spending the money only to find out I didnt learn much. But to watch how you have grown from a little garage to a 7 figure business making ornaments ( which I have loved making for many many years) now that's the person whose course I want to sign up for!! I enjoyed your video and the scenery is beautiful where you live. Looking forward to hearing more on your story.
•💟• Congradulations on your success. Your ornaments are just beautiful. Your perseverance is remarkable. Thank you for sharing your story and your tips & advice. •💟•
Staci, I'm so wanting to hear your story, but I'm only getting about every 3rd or 4th word. I hope that you don't think that I'm being impolite , but I'm just really trying to hear what you are saying! I know some people have said that the wind was no big deal. They must have better hearing than me! I'm hearing more wind than anything! I would LOVE to hear your story and to be able to learn from you. Is there anyway that you could re-do this video? I know that your busy season is here. I'm hoping that you could make a new video when you get a chance. That would be wonderful! You are really an inspiration to so many people and I know that we would all look forward to learning more. Thank you so much for all that you do and sharing your wonderful gift.
Hi Stacy, wow! What an amazing and inspirational video. I have just found your channel yesterday and today watched you video on how you started your business. This is something that I have rolled around and wanted to do, just can't seem to make the jump. Would you please let me know what the classes were that you mentioned in this video. I couldn't quite make it out, but would love to know what they were. Thank you so much, this is truly a wonderful message you have sent out!
Hi Shonda, thank you and yes I can! One of the main classes I did was Marie Forleo's B-School. It's closed right now but you can sign up for her waitlist here: www.marieforleo.com/bschool/. I'm also working on my own membership which will focus on starting/growing a craft-based business!
The wind noise is such a shame. She is great and so generously sharing her story. Cannot hear her or understand the name of the school she keeps mentioning.
I am sure your business is as good as the comments says but unfortunately I suffer from tinnitus and the wind and your voice just merged into a noise. I can't even read subtitles because of a brain injury. Is there any specific reason why you chose to record this video outside? I'm sure what you were saying is interesting but I had to turn it off after 3 minutes. I hope you're keeping safe and well.
Hi Gail.. I'm sorry about the background noise. I recorded this on a whim and I didn't realize the wind would be so loud.. I sure wish I had. I might re-record something soon. I am sorry again for the wind noise.
@@TheOrnamentGirl Oh you don't have to apologise, its my hearing not your delivery. I have found other videos of yours and subscribed. I didn't say it to be horrible it just comes out like that since my accident. You have nothing to apologise for, your wok is stunning and you explain everything so well. Now I'm the one apologising!
@@jazz2012 Please don't apologize at all! I didn't take it as sounding horrible at all - you are 100% right about the wind making it hard to hear. I almost didn't post the video because of it. But I hope to re-create it one day soon! Thank you for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the other videos! :)

Staci, you are delightful on camera. Thank you for sharing your story.
I am curious! Do you sell ornaments or ornament related materials outside of the 4th quarter? Are people making ornaments in Spring, Summer or Fall?

I'm so sorry about the wind. I know it's so hard to hear. I will try and re-do this video sometime soon. I'm sorry again about that, and thank you!
Thank you so much for this inspiration! How many labor hours do you pay? I imagine labor takes a chuck
of change.
Very inspiring

The wind is not that bad. Seems like a normal day - if you live in WY like me :)
The wind noise is such a shame. She is great and so generously sharing her story. Cannot hear her or understand the name of the school she keeps mentioning.
Good for you girl. But I got to say the wind noise is super annoying..
Can’t understand most of what you are saying due to the wind noise. Would love to hear your story 😊
the wind is definitely awful.. sorry about that. I will try to do another one sometime soon with better audio.
Your are an amazing woman. Is there a way I can contact you directly?
Adri, I'm so sorry for not seeing your comment sooner. Yes, here is my contact form: ornamentgirls.com/contact/
