Happy Small Business Saturday!

As this year's gifting season starts, I wanted to take a moment to tell you THANK YOU!  YOU - this incredible community of friends, followers, customers, and cheerer-on-ers (yes, that's a word... I just made it up) - are my most favorite unexpected gift that this small business has generously given me.

When I started AOA so many years ago, I had very little expectations for it.  I just wanted to create and if a few random people happened to like it, that was just the icing on the cake.  BUT instead the universe had other plans for me.  I feel like I have found my people here in our little corner of the internet. Now when I put my creations out into the world, I feel as if I am among friends, especially here with my email subscribers,  where we have carved out the sweetest, most supportive spot on the internet.

Thank for supporting my small business, for sharing my creations with those you love, and for your comments and encouragement.  They are fuel to my fire and something that I never take for granted.
