The Mad Rush to Christmas 2022 (Part 1)

I've decided to update my blog here. It's only been 8 years since my last entry! I've never been good at keeping a journal up-to-date, and as expected, my blog has gone neglected for far too long (unfortunately!). I've been in business since 2013.

This put the Mother's Day orders a bit behind where I wanted them to be, but I am finally done with orders for customers whose milk was received in May and June. After Mother's Day our orders trickle off every year, so I am able to get through the months following Mother's Day (especially those after July) much quicker. In the past month, I've created stones for, completed, and shipped jewelry to over 150 mothers. All of this in ONE MONTH. This is unprecedented for me, but I wanted to get my wait time down for my customers and give myself a little breathing room so that I'm not so busy around Christmas time! Even with this mad rush I've been doing, I'm still a little behind. I'm working on orders from July to September currently. (I try complete them in order, but sometimes I am waiting on the shipment of a setting or something that prevents the completion of that order and I have to wait until it comes in to complete it). ...Click for Part 2!
