I love getting feedback from happy customers. I've been shipping all over the place but I haven't slowed down to really pay attention. I had feedback from a customer today and realized that LCB Revival Tonic had made its way all the way to Arkansas! I shipped it but I guess it really didn't sink in, until today. I was so excited to see that this customer randomly saw my product and decided to try it and loved it! It prompted me to start writing. I want to share a long story that was fueled by my devotions last night and this morning. Hear Him Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, "This is...
I've been so busy that I've stopped doing my morning devotions like I used to. I've been reading them on the go, but not really processing them. I've decided that starting today, March 1st, every time that I am stressed because something isn't going the way I want it too, I will start writing down my blessings and what I'm thankful for and have more faith. Blessings that I am thankful for today: The messes that stress me out, because it means I have a house full of happy kids to clean up after. Endless orders that sometimes seem impossible to fill alone, because that means my business is growing. A phone that won't stop going off when I am...
I have always made my own oils, wood conditioners , scratch removers , chalk paint, and natural stains. I have given these out over the years for free and I always have people come back and ask for more. You should bottle this and sell it!!! The problem is, just like cooking... I never went by a recipe. I just put ingredients together to get the results I wanted...I couldn't always promise the same results. About a year ago, I started writing down all of my experimental formulas and the results I received. This is my all time favorite that I have perfected in time. No sanding, just polish with this magic in a bottle and scratches disappear! It is...
Funny how "little things" have such big meanings sometimes. I started redoing my antique bedroom suit. I sanded it all down and got rid of the old scratched up finish. Piece by piece I stained... waited a day or two, lightly sanded and stained again.. and finished it with sealer. The bed turned out perfect. It was beautiful. The shell of the dresser was flawless.. but no matter how many times I sanded the drawers and carefully stained them, it just wouldn't turn out the way I had hoped! I decided to sand down three of the drawers that didn't turn out and put a little white on them to see what happened.. If it worked, I would paint them...
Every morning I sit on the back steps and read my devotion before work. This morning I didn't want to go outside, but it just wasn't the same so I made myself get up and finish it on the steps..I write in my journal and I say a prayer. When I am done I always look to the sky and the sun is always peeking behind the trees telling me it's time to leave for work. It's always a little bit of peace before a stressful day of work. One of the verses today was Psalms 119:105 your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. This is what I saw when I looked...
