Handmade Holiday – Calling YOU!!

October 23, 2013 Leave a Comment

I’ve been working on a project for the holidays this year and I’ve been so excited about it! I wrote about it previously, but figured I needed to revamp it just a little. I love handmade small businesses, I always have and I’ve learned so much in jumping in headfirst honestly. It’s been the greatest risk I’ve taken in some time (it’s been a lot of tears and prayers). However, one thing I realized is with anything it costs money. So I wanted to start featuring shops for the holidays. Yes… YOU! No cost to you at all, I just want to show the heart of what you do. You may be asking why am I doing this? I will tell you honestly that my goal is so that others can see the heart and person behind the work. Most times we all look through Etsy and see something we like, but don’t really know the story behind it. Why do you make what you make? I’d love to know and I know others would too. I’ve noticed even with this community of small business owners the “top sellers” get the audience you’re hoping will find you. So let’s help them find you! Anyone can make an item…but you’re not just selling a product, you’re selling your name. So let’s do it together!

If you are interested please email me at blueswallow.inc@gmail.com 

Below are some guidelines on how to share you story for the feature:

 
General Bio:
– Background (a personal blurb about yourself – are you a college grad travelling the world one backpack at a time or a mother of three juggling stay at home life?) Share a bit about you!
– How long have you been doing this (drawing, sewing, etc)?
– What is the cataylst for your shop (i.e. passion, inspiration, etc)?
 

Shop/Skill Questions:
– When did you open your shop?
– What are you favorite supplies/items to use?
– What type of items do you sell/offer? Can you purchase custom items?
– How can people purchase your items? (website info)
 
* Do you have anything special for the Holidays as in sales? 
* When do your Holiday orders stop so they can arrive on time?
 
Then attach pictures of your items so I can be sure to show them!
 
 I really hope you will join me in celebrating and growing your own business this season. It really would be my honor to feature you here.

Let’s talk about shame... When the Lord started Let’s talk about shame...

When the Lord started walking me through how my approach to correcting behavior started to look more like shaming... it was humbling and convicting. 

Many times my desire to correct overrides any opportunity to understand and walk through the challenge together. 

When I yell, dismiss, or even explode at what they shouldn’t be doing - I communicate shame rather than offering wise counsel. Especially with abstract concepts that deal with the heart like lying, pride, anger...

It hit me most when I yelled at my angry child for lashing out 👀 - as I watched myself I felt the Lord nudge me with how can you correct sin while sinning? 

... oh the embarrassment, but the chance to do better.

Quieting my own self and taking it in, because conviction makes room for growth not shame. 

I’ve asked the Lord more and more to calm my voice with the intent of allowing true change as I parent. Praying my heart is bent more to seeing how God restores and transforms our behaviors to reflect true goodness. Rather than a God who shames as they see me shame them. #christinmotherhood

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
