Day In My Life: DOUBLE DELIVERY Day!! We got 40K lbs & $200K worth of product all at the SAME TIME!

Famous last words: "I've really done it, I've really done it this time."
Welcome to our absolute worst nightmare - our two largest, HEAVIEST orders ever, both getting delivered on the SAME DAY. Usually the delivery companies contact us in advance so we have some notice, but not this day! We only expected to receive desk pads... so when a driver pulled up and announced he had 11 pallets of planners for us? We were shook. Watch along to see what happened next...

If you're new here - welcome! I started my business on my 18th birthday selling paintings I made in my free time. I continued to run and grow it throughout college and graduate school, and into law school at Duke University. Now I'm running the business full time, law degree in hand, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I sell my art on my website, wholesale on Faire.com and I license my work to be sold in stores including Home Goods, Marshalls, At Home, and World Market.

You should do a video highlighting your staff. They seem very dedicated

[@Elysebreannedesign]

I have a meet the team video and may have to do an updated one this year! But mostly they don’t seem to like being on camera so I try to keep it limited to what they’re comfortable with!

I know it's overwhelming but you have the best problems! Your biz is booming!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@donnajohnson6403]

I love your work. I am watching your video and seeing your frustration over the delivery mixup. I am alone in my little tiny business. I long to have the problem you're having. I dream of having a warehouse with products filling it up to the brim. The glass is half empty for me, but overflowing for you. First, congrats. You have an amazing business. You are an amazing artist. Incredible business woman. Just know that you are super blessed and are rewarded for your hard, hard work. The mixup? It is the small stuff. A teacher at her desk with a smile on her face as she plans her month in your planner, with your handiwork. Blessed!! Oh, I live in Smithfield so we're neighbors. I gotta go to your shop. Its just beautiful.

What a productive day! So much paper 😊 I think the pink desk pad is my favorite of all the desk pads 🥰

[@LL-ex1gp]

Omg you need to get a pallet mover 😩 you’re amazing but wowww can’t even imagine how much work this is

[@ChantelleArts]

[@VanessaDegarmo]

I love the desk pads but I just can’t use a planner. My days are so random

[@hh8364]

You & your team are AMAZING!!! Can I ask if you air or sea freight your products? A video on this process would be amazing to help other small business (like me ◡̈ ) that are a bit terrified to try importing but really want to.

[@kaistockman6443]

Sea is way cheaper but since Covid it’s gone up a lot in price. Not sure if it did for everyone, but my parents used to pay like $1800 to ship their product that they sell and last time it was like $16,000. 😮 It’s an expensive heavy 4lb book but still shipping went way up. 😢

Why dont u girls use a small or medium size heavy duty platform trolley (not the supermarket trolley, if u know what i mean) to stack boxes (depends on how many boxes u can push on the trolley) and push them to the shelves? It can save u all alot of energy instead of lifting the boxes one by one from the van/palletes. Pheww 🥴

[@RubenDeJong1207]

Im just asking, what its the background music on 10:52?

[@SuzanneRowell]

time for a larger warehouse? :)

[@yepidoodles]

At least you guys don't have to pay for a gym membership lol

[@almostpronto2286]
