I have a new helper here at Seeking Lavender Lane as I’ve been expanding the shop and candle line, much of the work has me spread so thin that I was so excited when Kelly reached out to me. She’s been so wonderful and helping me promote my content, package boxes, and now even helped with designing this blog post for you all. I always want to be transparent with you all here when it comes to this kind of stuff. I know many bloggers that have a team of people that help them and it always appears like they are doing it all on their own. Well, the truth is, sometimes we just need to ask for help. Kelly shared these in my Home Experience group last year and I loved them so much she’s sharing them here for all! Who loves a good crafty project, especially during the Holidays!
