As the new year begins, I find myself reflecting on the past almost five years running my paper crafting business—a journey filled with creativity, learning, and incredible growth. It’s hard to believe how much has changed in such a short period of time, but one thing remains constant: my immense gratitude for the customers, followers, friends, and family who have made it all possible.
When I first started this business, it was a leap of faith, a passion turned into something I could share with others. What I didn’t know then was just how much of an impact this community would have on my life. From the first sale to the overwhelming support I’ve received along the way, I’ve realized that I am not just running a business—I’m part of something much bigger.
To my customers: Your trust in my designs and Stampin’ Up! products is the heart of this business. Every order, every comment, every share makes a difference. You have turned my creative ideas into reality, and for that, I will always be grateful. Watching you make the projects I’ve designed, sharing your own crafting journeys, and seeing how my products have brought joy to your lives has been incredibly fulfilling.
To my followers: Your enthusiasm and engagement on social media have brought so much energy to this creative space. Every like, every comment, every interaction reminds me that I’m not just crafting in a vacuum—I’m connecting with a vibrant, passionate community. It’s a reminder that creativity doesn’t just live in a craft room; it lives in the hearts of those who share it. Your support has not only kept me going but has pushed me to constantly improve, innovate, and share more of what I love.
To my friends and family: Your belief in me has been unwavering, and I could not have made it this far without you. Whether it’s offering encouragement, giving feedback on designs, or simply cheering me on from the sidelines, you’ve helped keep me grounded and inspired. You are the foundation that has allowed this dream to grow, and I’m so grateful for each one of you.
As I look forward to 2025, I’m excited to share that the Alaskan Cruise incentive trip I’m working hard to earn will be a huge reward for all the years of effort and countless hours spent nurturing this little dream of mine. It will be a direct reflection of your continued support—through your purchases, your class attendance, your encouragement, and your belief in me. You’ve made it possible for me to turn this dream into something tangible, and with your help, I’m determined to reach this next milestone.
As we step into a new year, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. Thank you for making these past five years so memorable. Your support means everything to me, and I can’t wait to see what the next year—and the next five—bring for all of us. Here’s to more creativity, more inspiration, and more of the beautiful community that we’ve built together.
Happy New Year! Let’s make 2025 even more amazing.
With gratitude,
♥Kelli
