This past year has been a crazy roller coaster of emotions for us. I am pretty used to having a full plate, but this past year has really tested my capabilities. It was so exciting to see our vision for the shop come to life, but many times I felt overwhelmed. I wasn’t sure if I could handle the pressures of starting a small business. It was something I thought about for a long time and often day dreamed about, but I had no experience in starting or running a small business.
