For months, I felt like I needed to come up with a backup plan. Then the orders started coming in.
This spring was stressful. Orders had slowed down, and I was starting to wonder if continuing to sell stickers still made sense.
With a new baby coming in September, I was feeling even more pressure to figure out how I could help bring in extra income for our family. I found myself frantically looking for other options while also praying for God to show me what my next step should be.
Was I supposed to keep putting my time and energy into Little Traveling Llama? Was it time to focus on something else? I honestly didn’t know.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the orders started flooding in.
In the span of just two weeks, I received 21+ orders and sold 536 stickers between Faire and Etsy.
After months of questioning whether this little business could continue to help support my family, I suddenly found myself surrounded by orders to pack. I definitely cried, although that could have been the pregnancy hormones lol. 🥹 Either way, I’m so incredibly grateful and feeling motivated to keep going.
I still don’t know exactly what the future of this business will look like, but right now, I’m thankful for this reminder that so much can change in such a short time.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased a sticker, placed a wholesale order, shared one of my posts, left a comment, or told someone about my little shop. Every bit of support means more than you probably realize, not only to me, but to my family too. ❤️
