It is with the most peaceful and grateful heart I'm sharing that I'm closing my sweet little Rejoicing DAY shop! Just as I felt a nudge twelve years ago to use the talents God blessed me with, I feel that same nudge to let go and refocus.
This little passion of mine has given me so much. I come from a long history of designing/sewing women...my Grandma Adelle who sewed countless dresses for me growing up, the last one being my flower girl dress before my wedding and her passing, my Grandma De who designed the most gorgeous floral arrangements for thousands of clients in her working days and also made my mom and her twin the most detailed Barbie clothes (a squirrel hide for the fur on an amazing blue trench coat), and my dear mom who let me make endless outfits for 4-H, repaint my room anytime I wanted, and always said yes to any fabric id choose. Designing and creating just fills my heart in so many ways and I feel so grateful I've gotten to share that passion for so many years.
I've wrestled with this thought for almost 2 years and in true Kassy fashion, I am competitive and love to do it all! But, I also hate missing out on any of my kids events and as they get older, and I get ONE chance to live this beautiful life, I don't want to miss it. I want to be kicking soccer balls, going for runs, hanging at the marina, or driving those 4 sweet souls to the next activity instead of sewing in my basement. Although I know I will miss designing and creating, I just know God won't let this be the end and many new doors will open for me to use those talents! So this isn't the end, rather a see ya later!
Looking back at all the pictures (too many to include) I feel overwhelmed with love and gratitude. I really had the best tribe around me and so many amazing customers. I'd be foolish to not thank my sweet hubby, Luke. Loading, unloading, setting up, even late night tagging...he always said yes and that included this little dream to begin with. He was always a yes🖤. And to my sweet mom, who was my starting partner. I'm so proud I was able to make you retire your sewing machine and be the best gma. And to the best dad, who thinks I'm a Rockstar no matter what🥰
Praising God for his blessings and all the wonderful people he brought into my life. I hope I've inspired, encouraged, shared love and grace to anyone who followed along on our journey. AND, I hope my 4 kids saw a mom who took a leap, worked hard, prayed and celebrated the good, the hard, and everything inbetween.
Thank you for 12 of the best years. I am SO proud of Rejoicing DAY and I will forever hold onto the sweet, sweet memories🖤🖤
