As I sit here in my office looking at old reels I can’t help but terribly miss my creative side…I loved coming up with this idea and figuring out how to get er done. 🌊🤓

Who else loves the ocean?? I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time! It took some time sanding, polishing , breaking and then piecing it together but the result is stunning 🤩

Ready, set, craft! My workspace is finally out together and ready to get creative 🤩

11/23/2022

To all my wonderful followers and friends, I am grateful for you! I am grateful that you trust in my skill and craft and allow me to create for you.

With that being said, I would like to issue an apology to all my recent customers. As you may be aware, I have been quiet on social media and my etsy shop is set to vacation mode. After the competition, I became inundated with orders and found myself stressed and overwhelmed with the higher volume and the constant disorganization in my mind (I do adhd which I have never really addressed previously). I found myself emotionally and mentally unable to complete orders and issued numerous refunds. Unfortunately, this just added to my current cycle and pushed me into a deeper depression which caused me to disengage further. (Most if not all of the refunded orders have been completed for weeks.) This basically continued until I was finally able to work through it introspectively.

Through this horridly embarrassing experience I was able to identify the weaknesses and strengths in my business and understand that I am definitely unable to continue the way I've been doing things. I have a creative mind and I understand now that I tend to hyper focus on creating while the business aspect (logistics, orders, marketing etc) is ignored. The weight of an increase in orders pushed my disorganization from a manageable chaos to a completely untouchable anxiety inducing nightmare.

I am pleased to say that I have been participating in business classes, and have reached out to business counselors, mentors and my own personal therapist in order to work through this and learn how to navigate a small business while dealing with mental health issues. I can't help but be grateful for this learning experience, though I could have done without the complete mental breakdown🙃.

I plan to reopen very slowly and I am now aware of my limit and will respect that.
So here's to healing and growth this Thanksgiving! 🙏

Winner winner chicken dinner 💪 that competition was such an amazing experience for my small time business based in rural Utah ! It validated my ideas and business and was just so cool to be apart of. I met and spoke with long time investors, bankers and other entrepreneurs. I’m going to use the prize money to buy more equipment and to pay someone to help me
more with order fulfillment. I also won mentorship with an investor and best selling business author .

I would NOT have even been able to enter the competition it wasn’t for all of YOU 💖 who have supported me and been soooo patient with me and my long ship times 😳 which I hope to correct soon…

So let’s have a sale this weekend ! Tune in tomorrow 10/14 for the deets, I’ve got a lot of late orders I need to get out before we celebrate 🎉 🙌🤓🎉

It's Fall Ya'll 🍁🍂! Sweater weather, sweet cinnamon apple scents, pumpkins, flannel and falling leaves! It's seriously my favorite time of the year 🥰

Get all sorts of cozy with the new Fall line out now! These are shown in Wanda but can be done in any frame. I threw in some ideas for splits and brows too.

The Glitter Nerd is going to a business competition 💪 that’s right friends, I entered a pitch competition locally for small businesses (had to submit a 90 second pitch) and I was chosen for the semi finals 😳 I’ll be pitching my business to several judges in 3 different rooms 90 seconds and 60 seconds q&a ….this is NOT my cup of tea 🫣😆 if chosen for the finals I’ll go in front of a lot of people and pitch again 🤢 it’ll go from 33 applicants to 8!.

I want to grow this business and be able to expand and bring sparkle to more people, quicker. I work full time from home and am stuck between having to work my normal job, take care of kids and do my business. Winning would be huge ! So if your religious, send prayers please if not, send me good vibes 🤙🙌 semi finals are Tuesday 💖

It took me hours to get a useable 90 seconds 🤪🤓
