I'm going to keep this Friday's newsletter short for ya!
Most people think I'm super busy, and while I guess that's mostly true, yesterday felt like the busiest day ever!
We recorded two episodes over six hours for our upcoming reality streaming series LKLD EDGE: Life Is Local, we had vendor friends over for dinner, and then there was a podcast interview for our Beary Merry Christmas Toy Drive!
We’re so grateful to @getholysips for sponsoring a Little Cub in our Beary Merry Christmas Toy Drive! Your generosity is helping make this holiday season brighter for a local child in our community.
Holy Sips is a small business that creates beautifully laser-engraved tumblers, magnetic bookmarks, cork coasters, and more! She features inspirational Bible verses and beloved book quotes. Each piece is made with creativity, purpose, and heart.
Thank you, Holy Sips, for using your craft to inspire and for joining us in spreading love, faith, and holiday cheer this Christmas.
In under a week, we have Little Cubs filled and many on the waiting list! We now need more sponsors! We're around 40% already!
