are live now. Hi, my name is Stephanie, Stephanie Dix, which I'm sure you've seen. I wanted
to take a quick minute to do my introduction. You may hear noises in the background. I do
have four daughters, ranging in age from four to 14. And they're all downstairs with their
dad who is working from home right now. So it's an adventure. We do homeschool. So we're
used to everybody being here. That's nothing new with all the changes that have gone on.
There's business as usual around here with the exception of my husband has our living
room turned into a makeshift office. So about me, sorry for being rattled. I feel like I'm
the hot mess in the group. Everybody needs one in every group, I guess, right? I own
White Oak Originals, which is an Etsy shop. I own that shop, I sell hand letter designs.
So I've got cut files, like you would use for a cricket or a silhouette, and printables.
It's kind of bundled together. You print one or cut one. I like to print one out if I cut
certain designs, just so I know how to weed it, things like that. I put those designs
on shirts. I sell those over on Sell My Teas. I have two different shops, one's through
White Oak, one's through my blog, which is behind the scenes of White Oak Originals.
And I also design fabric. So my business is a little bit different from other people's,
I guess, where it's all digital, graphic, online, somewhat passive with Etsy. But I
guess it's limiting, too. It's just all different. I have friends who are trying to make the
most of things right now by pushing people, please support small businesses, and they're
selling really cute little Easter gifts and things like that. And I'm like, eh, I'm over
here doing the same old, same old. But I guess that's just how it goes. As far as business
goes, I love what I do. I'm very thankful to be able to do what I do, and to have the
benefit of some income coming from it. I met Ashley in a business networking group. She
was doing some questionnaires, just asking some business owners some questions. And we
spoke once, and then we talked a little more here and a little more there, and have gotten
to be pretty good friends. And I'm so very thankful for Ashley and for our friendship.
I'm excited about this group, about getting to dig deeper, and I don't even know where
to start with it. I'm looking forward to Thursday's class, and to just soaking in all
I can. I have been watching your videos, and it's really nice to meet all of you. Again,
I also homeschool. Trying to think, I had all kinds of things in my head that, oh yeah,
I can tell them this, I can tell them that. I don't know. I feel like I'm the resident
hot mess, I guess. But that's kind of business as normal around here, too, these days. But
overall, yeah, I'm just very thankful to be here. Again, I'm sorry for being kind of all
over the place with this. I thought I knew what I was going to say, and that didn't work
out, huh? But if you have any questions for me, make sure to comment with those. I'm an
open book. I just sometimes draw a blank on the pages myself. So again, thank you for
your time. Thank you for watching this, even if you're getting a little bit of a chuckle,
that's alright. My family rolls their eyes all the time. And I look forward to getting
to know each of you.
