A Journey

When I started my company in the summer of last year, I had no idea it would be something that would change my life. My thoughts were to treat it like a hobby. It would be something I could do to pass the time. It turned into so much more than a hobby. I find myself working harder than I have ever worked in my life. Everyday I am thinking about new ways to make my business better. It has influenced my oldest son to be more creative. He now wants to learn how to make what I make. :)

One of my favorite parts is also meeting new people. The friends I have made along this journey have been so great. If it wasn't for the business, I would never have come across these people from all over the world. We share ideas, laughs, and most importantly, we support one another because we know first hand just how hard it is to keep a small business alive. It's certainly not easy, but "nothing easy is ever worth doing."

My whole life I've always been creative. I loved to write poety and decorate and create things. I guess that stems from me being a very picky person. I need things to be just how I like them, and sometimes that was hard to find when I went shopping, so I would just create it myself!
Just recently my family's financial situation had changed. Just like most people these days our lifestyle/spending habbits had to change. That however didn't change the fact that people around me still had birthday's and holidays were always going to be there. When I'd go shopping, I'd find the prices of certain items outrageous. I wondered how anyone afforded these things. I decided to do something about it. It was such a turning point in my life. I thought I could start my own boutique where I can make the things I like and sell them at affordable prices so people could actually not feel guilty about buying things and not break the bank! This is how Krissy's Boutique was formed.

There will never be anything over $20 in my shop. I make it a point to kee my prices affordable for everyone. Last month, I even made it better and offered free shipping to all U.S. customers and only $2 for other countries. It was just another way to do my part in helping the customers that I have come to appreciate so much. Without the customers, I wouldn't be allowed to do what I love to do. I hope this journey goes on for a long time and continues to grow. I hope you will continue to journey along with me too!! :)
