Hello friends!
I have a friend that could use some help. She’s trying to grow her page. She’s not established on FB yet. I thought she could use our help. That’s what our community is about…helping each other. So, I’ve put her link here⬇️. If you could give her a follow I know she would appreciate it.

I have the cutest helper today. Bubba had surgery yesterday. That didn’t slow him down. He had a big case of the “Zoomies”….he’s passed out now. This little guy has brought so much joy to us. ❤️🐈‍⬛

💜 SEPTEMBER SU***DE PREVENTION & AWARENESS 💙

There are many meaningful ways to support su***de prevention this September, and every one of them matters.

Attend: If you’re local, join me at the Boonville Farmers Market this Saturday from 8 AM to noon. I’ll also be there every Saturday throughout September. Stop by, say hello, shop, and help support this important cause. 💜💙

Share: If you can’t attend in person, sharing this post can help spread awareness and connect others with ways to participate.

Donate: I’m donating 50% of the proceeds from all items with a bead on them—or a bead glued to them—to radKids. We’ll also have an awareness and donation box available for anyone who would like to contribute. Every gift, no matter the size, can help.

To clarify, all money raised for Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month will go to radKids. After losing my granddaughter, I felt it was important to bring awareness to families who have to deal with a tragedy like this. One thing Aiden and I loved was spending time together making beaded pens and keychains.

I’ll stay in touch with radKids Chairman Officer Brad Simmons and share how much we’re able to raise throughout the month.

Check in: One of the most powerful things we can do is reach out to someone we care about. Send a message, make a call, listen without judgment, and remind them they are not alone. Supporting children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults takes all of us.

Whether you attend, share, donate, or check in on someone, thank you for helping bring awareness and compassion to our community. Together, we can make a difference. 💜💙

Thank you for all of your support.

💜💙Christy

Happy Friday, friends!

My morning post is a little long but it is filled with important messages. Please take the time to read it.

💜SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH 💜

This September, I want us to come together as a community and be an active voice in the lives of our children. We must protect our kids, support one another, and make sure they know they are seen, heard, loved, and never alone.

For those who may not know me or are new to my business page, and my friends that have been with me from the beginning, my oldest granddaughter, Aiden, took her own life. There were no warning signs, and it was completely unexpected. In her memory, I felt it was important to do something meaningful. Aiden and I shared a love for making beaded items together, so continuing that craft has become part of how I honor her.

💜HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP & PARTICIPATE: 💜

‼️‼️👉 EVERY SATURDAY THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER I will be at Boonville Farmers Market

When you purchase ANY beaded item from me, 25% of ALL proceeds will be donated directly to RAD.‼️‼️

RadKIDS is an organization dedicated to protecting children and strengthening our community. Officer Simmons (Brad) serves as the chairman of RadKIDS, and I am truly grateful to support the work they are doing.

📍 Come shop with me in person: Saturdays | 8 AM – 12 PM

💜If you’re local, stop by, shop, and support this cause in person.
💜If you’re not local, you can STILL participate and make a difference.

📩 HOW TO PARTICIPATE FROM ANYWHERE:
Send me a message to order a:

● 💜Su***de Prevention Beaded Pen — $10 + shipping
● 💜Su***de Awareness Keychain — $8 + shipping

I will make it and mail it directly to you.

I will also try to go LIVE during Saturdays when possible, but the booth can get busy and timing isn’t always predictable. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

🗓️ I also have additional su***de awareness items on the way that should arrive by next Saturday, August 22.

Most importantly, every purchase, every share, and every message of support helps us raise awareness and support RadKIDS mission to protect children in our community.

💜25% of ALL beaded item sales every Saturday goes directly to RadKIDS.

Thank you all for supporting my small business, standing with our community, and most importantly, helping us protect our children.

Together, we can make a difference. 💛

Have a blessed day.
❤️Christy

Happy Thursday, friends!

Look at these coaster my mom, Judy Offield, has been working on these little guys. They are magnificent! I sold some for her at the last weekend. She made some new ones this week. I LOVE them!
It makes my heart so happy that we’ve all been adding our own touch to my crazy little booth. I’m alone this weekend, yikes!
My biggest concern is the canopy. I purchased one for just me in hopes I could set it up alone….its gonna be interesting.
Adlea Hubbard, has been working her gluten and dairy free magic. This is only my opinion, and partly because I’m a little partial…but, her chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and oatmeal raisin cookies turned out phenomenal. She’s created her own magic and I have never had anything remotely close to this that wasn’t rock hard or tasted terrible. Watch out, you bakers are going to have a little competition on your hands! I hope I will be able to bring some this Saturday to the Boonville Farmers Market.
I will try to go live to show you my crazy booth set up. Maybe you all can give me some constructive criticism.
Have a wonderful day!☀️

It was a very wet day yesterday! But, that didn’t stop us. Emmit SOLD out on his oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies. It made this Nona proud. Him and Papa are plotting their next idea for the Boonville Farmers Market. Yesterday was kids day, it was so good to see families with their kiddos.
I hope you all were able to check my friend’s booth out, Allison Adair, Bert's Custom Wood Creations . She has amazing custom wood decor. And homemade Root Beer, can it get any better than that?
Have a wonderful Sunday!❤️

I just wanted to update our local friends! Adlea was not able to get her cookies done! But, my grandson, Emmit, pulled through. His ARE NOT gluten and dairy free! He’s cookies are amazing!
