I wanted a growth chart SO bad and was thrilled to be able to grab one. Your brother went above and beyond to make sure it arrived in great condition, quickly, etc. It is even more special that it comes from a small, family business. So sorry people are not being more understanding. They are worth being patient for!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630916044540284919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-79736606174582952822012-02-19T23:22:40.800-05:002012-02-19T23:22:40.800-05:00Jen,

Your sit...I appreciate you and your family so much! Your site is eye candy and calming. I thank you for the free downloads and the ones that are not free are so reasonably priced for the work you do. I had the holiday ones in frames around my house this year. I have missed out on a couple of items (such as pillow covers) but I only check the site every other day or late in the day and by then you are often sold out of the item I want. I don't even give it another thought...I just wait till its available the next time and hope to get it. I don't know why people have to be rude on blogs, in stores or any time. It makes me sad. Its one of the reasons why as a blogger wanna-be I haven't taken the leap; I just don't take criticism very well. Plus I appreciate the investment of time it requires...its like a full time job plus some. Thank you for letting us peak at your lovely home and for providing lovely things to look at (and if lucky enough) to buy!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17724328224689359468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-64058213095515777022012-02-17T07:54:15.042-05:002012-02-17T07:54:15.042-05:00Wow, you are a nice venter!! ha!

I had no idea you were working so hard to fill all these orders, I can't imagine doing that. So kudos to you. I have a hard time just doing 4th grade homework two nights a week on our shared visitation with my stepson!! I am exhausted by it all~(last night we had 4.5 hours of it) UGH. <br />You and your family are doing a great job creating something that resonates with a lot of nice people.

Because you are doing a great job. If you weren't, everyone wouldn't be clamoring for your products. Also, you have responded to the situation with perfect dignity, and don't need to feel bad about expressing that frustration. <br /><br /><br />Secondly, I think I may have let out an audible squeak when I saw our silhouette cookies on here :) Thank you so much!!! My sister and I are both such huge fans of this blog, so to be featured here is kind of totally dreamy :) Thanks again!Miriam@BeBookBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226920262981438778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-11634879359347776232012-02-16T22:36:31.358-05:002012-02-16T22:36:31.358-05:00Why is it that rude, mean and impatient people mak...Why is it that rude, mean and impatient people make nice people feel guilty???

It makes me so upset to hear that some people cannot appreciate that you are a stay at home mom and managing your own business-especially a business that requires you to hand make your items! I am so impressed by your talent and I only wish that I had the ability to run my own design company! Thank you for your sweet words in each of your blogs and for so publicly sharing the hope and faith that you have in Christ! I hope you're still selling all of your adorable children's clothes/accessories when I have my own family one day. Just wanted to send you and your family some encouragement today!<br />PS-You're lucky to have such an amazing brother.

You are not a mass retailer (which is why so many people LOVE your creations), so don't ever feel like you must appease the SMALL percentage of people who feel entitled to make sure they get the fruits of your hardwork. Definitely not at the expense of your sleep, your kids, or your husband. At the end of the day, they are what matters - the pillows, and rulers (albeit oh-so-beautiful) can wait. :) Keep it up - balancing everything is super hard I'm sure and you're doing great!Ashley C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05298140661974022522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-17397917344335980202012-02-16T16:45:16.124-05:002012-02-16T16:45:16.124-05:00I know that it's hard, but ignore those rude p...I know that it's hard, but ignore those rude people and concentrate on the positives in your life and business.

That does 2 very positive things for the supplier: increases the profit so your time is more financially rewarding, and lowers demand to a more manageable level. OR you make it a policy to just charge anyone who is rude double on their order. :) Good luck!
