I panicked at 40 open orders because it’s just me but then I hired my son as my shipper! I need a second laser so bad! Soon very soon I hope! Thank you Sallie for being sick an inspiration to so many! You are amazing! Keep gettin it girl! Your work is amazing!
Thank you for including your packaging process for the larger signs.
I won’t say anything about your mess if you don’t say anything about my mess!😂 Congratulations on getting to the point that you need a separate building! You go girl!
Hahah I’ll never tell 🫣
Thank you so much Naomi! 💕
I know this is way after Christmas but just had to hop on to say we do the same thing with our kiddos for Christmas presents! We constantly have so many boxes in our office for our laser biz so the kids don't even think twice about it! Fist bump. Genius.
Love your videos! You are a motivator! Thank you, and Happy Holidays!!
Yes. More videos like this please, especially if it is a win-win for you and all of us!
I love your videos!! You have such good work ethics and your crafts are beautiful! Congratulations on you and your husband’s success.
That was amazing very informative. Your artwork is beautiful. Great teamwork! Good luck!
I don't do anything wood related but I love your work with me's! I find it interesting to see your process. Definitely keep them coming :)
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoy them!!
Congrats on your growth. Love your videos ❤🎉
Thanks for sharing your organization with us! You are really killing it!
Thank you so much!
You are sooooo inspirational
I really hope I can get to your level! But I love seeing how far you've come and you definitely earned it! Love watching your channel girl! ❤️

Yes, yes, more like these!. You guys inspire me. !
Thank you Tricia!
YES YES YES!!! More videos please! have a good Christmas season Sallie and Fam.
Thank you! Same to you ❤️❤️❤️
I did the same thing for our drivers and they really appreciated it.
I love this video seeing everything how you work your business it's amazing !! 😊
Thank you so much!!
just amazing so much work. your work is beautiful
First viewer ❤! I love your work with me videos!
Thank you Ebony! 🥰
yup loved this video! moreeeeeee!!
🥰🥰🥰
Yessss more of these videos
🥰🥰🥰
Oh Sallie, I'm so glad you posted . I know you're busy but I miss how often you use to post, I swear you're like my work muse lol
It's funny I ordered about 24 cans of those spray paints yesterday and can't wait til they get here! Please come back and tell us your favorite colors, I had a hard time narrowing it down to just 24 lol
Thanks for posting ,you motivate me alot!
I definitely plan on making a ton more videos! I miss it so much- it's such a creative outlet for me! I definitely will let you know about the colors. It was SO hard for me too! Also hard to know how the colors will actually look once sprayed. Thanks for the kind words, it is so appreciated 💕
Such a great video!
Congratulations on your growth Sallie ❤️ my dream is to do well enough that my husband can quit his job and work with me haha. I love that the two of you have your own businesses! I mentioned your heat press review video in my last video (but i spelled your name wrong 🤦♀️) since it helped me decide on what to get! Your so motivating and inspirational ❤️❤️❤️
I would love more videos please! And a color chart would be awesome!
I definitely plan on it! 😊
Amazing work. I did wonder how you shipped those large signs. Thank you for sharing. Awesome teamwork. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Thanks Bridget!
Wow great team work.
Thank you Maria!
Love the video. Yes on the paint chart! Learn by mistake… make your shop a separate building that’s not attached to the house. I had one and a fire broke out and I lost my house too! As always love your videos and Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
Oh my goodness I am so sorry to hear that! ❤ Yes we planned on having it separate from the house. This extra shop would only be for packaging and assembling the signs. I wouldn't have any lasers or power tools in that shop. Thank you for looking out! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well!
You mean to tell me no more Jon hanging from trees soon. Congrats!!!🎉 🍾 I’ll be rooting & praying for ya’ll.😊
😂 maybe not as often but I’m sure we’ll see him doing some crazy things. Just not as dangerous I’m hoping. Just last week he was hanging from our roof doing Christmas lights hahaha. Got to love him.
That would of been a “work with me” clip worth seeing. Lol! 😂
Girl! I mentioned the Montana spray paint to you awhile back! So glad you are liking them!!
yesss I've been hearing so many good things about it! I'm excited to test them out more.💕
@@SimplySallie These are super pigmented so you'll really need to put your can shaker contraption to work. LOL If you go 1-2 minutes, go another 1-2 minutes.
Feel like the car lines take longer than the school day 🤣
Great video. I have to admit I only watched your cute dogs in the background during the time lapse! I plan to order our second Thunder in the next month or so! Keep kicking butt! Are you going to the Lightburn conference in Peoria, IL in October by chance?
Have you considered a commercial bun pan bakers rack for your shop? It will take your work surface vertical so you don’t have to put your items on the floor. They come in different widths. They are on Amazon. I saw one of your videos where you had the wood work all over the floor. I recently took a pottery class and they use them to place finished items. They are a space saver. I have missed seeing your videos because you are such an inspiration but now that you have concentrated on the laser items, I don’t feel the connection like before when you did various craft items. However, I have been inspired to buy a laser, probably an M1 laser cutter because my husband does woodworking. We tried various methods to engrave cutting boards that he makes and I think that’s the best way. Happy holidays and I look forward to a new year of crafting and seeing your videos.
Yes we have a plan to get a ton of the racks and make some things for saving space! I do understand how you feel, although If you look back at the last few videos I do try to still show a lot of different crafts! More of the different crafting things are coming in the new year. Business has just taken off, so I’ve just been sharing real time how things have been. Growth doesn’t come by staying doing the same thing always. That’s why I do so many different things-to cater to the wide range of crafters we have on the channel! Thanks for the support!
Sally love your videos! Questions … where did you get your table top tape dispenser and where do you get your corrugated cardboard sheets?? Thank you so much also where do you find the option to print 2 Etsy invoices to a page? I can’t find it anywhere! Thanks
Can you share your interior wall paint color / brand?
Love it against the white finishes!😊
Thanks for sharing your work process !
Love these types of videos! Would love to see the making of the color chart as well please! So many questions! How did you know what shipping labels go with what package of you are printing them off after they are covered up? What made you decide to try a new paint and what about the coverage is different than Rustoleum? Why do you not tie the tops of the twine when stringing the ornaments? How do you line up the letters so well when you aren’t scoring for placement? I will shut up now. 😂
Thank you Renee! Jon writes the name on each box so I just stick the label on after they are done! I just wanted the color variety and the fact that I can just reorder them online. The coverage is supposed to be better to where you use less paint. They are honestly not much different on pricing either. I leave the twine open so the customer can adjust to the height of their choosing! Honestly, the lining up thing is just from practice and being able to eyeball to the center. I definitely score the hard to line up fonts though! You may not be able to see it from the video but I always score those standard fonts to make sure they are centered. Hope this helps 💕
This was fun to follow along. I feel like I'm ready to step up the game for my esty shop. Watching these videos are helpful. I do really want to know where you get your cardboard from. LOL. Right now I just have a Glowforge. But I have access to a 65w epilog. with a 30" bed. But I've been sticking to things that will fit in my glowforge for my etsy shop. I've been upcycling lots of cardboard and I've about ran out of my stash. I only use the parts of upcycled boxes that have no printing on them or damage from removed tape. I'd love to see a more slowed down version of how you do the cardboard packaging. I'll check out your channel to see if maybe you already have one.
And i'm laughing at your lunch and dinner choices. Last week I was super busy and made hotdogs in the air fryer, toasted the buns and had mac n cheese. My husband was not a fan. He wanted veggies and no carbs. LOL. Thanks for sharing that with us.
I get it from packaging price! We had an issue the first time we ordered, but the second time went smoothly so that is what we will use unless something goes wrong again. They are much cheaper than uline. The packaging has been a lot of trial and error until we had no damage! It just takes practice! I will make an updated video on the packaging one of these days!
haha yes he is on a health journey and I definitely am proud of him, but i'm totally not at his level yet. I love my junk food 😂
@@SimplySallie your man has the cardboard part down! I'd LOVE to see a video of that in slow motion/with explanation. This is where I really struggle. Cardboard, thickness, how many layers, cutting, scoring, bending, etc.
Hi, have you ever tried to heat press your logo on the base of the mugs? I know galaxy have a new mug press that does both the mug and the base but it's very expensive to buy just to have the base plate. Hope this makes sense 🤔
What kind of boxes do you get for shipping products and where? Are you using a primer or a paint when you paint your wood white/Which kind? Yes please make a video of the color chart. Where are you buying the MTN 94 paint from?
Hi Sallie. I’m loving your videos. I’m just getting started and your videos are very inspiring. I noticed on a previous video that you used something made by Ryobi to cut your butcher paper. Can you share the name or link? Also, do you have a video that goes over creating your design and/or how to price your items for resell? Thank you so much. I’ll try not to ask so many questions next time lol
Thank you Lisa! It is called "powered scissors" but they do not make those anymore. There are some on amazon (amzn.to/3uBU0Cn) that are very similar and i've heard they are really good! I do not have a pricing video, but I do plan on making a video on that soon!
Hi Sallie! How do you calculate the large sign packages? I know how to do the smaller packages but not the large. Thanks so much!
Hi Sallie, I have watched you grow but first time commenter ! I’m wondering if your name signs part of the business is busier at Christmas? It looks like you have a LOT of signs going out. Is it a December thing or is it a result of your growing business?
Dang them machines must of been expensive 😮
I thought it was funny watching the dog in the back ground, he was "napping" on the couch. Seeing it in fast speed was funny.
What glue are you using to attach the wood pieces? I cant find one I really like other than the star bond but would like another option.
haha he is too funny! They sure love to sleep for being these "active" breeds!
I currently use loctite professional super glue but I would love to try a few more. That is just my favorite that you can purchase locally at stores!
Where do you get your cardboard sheets from?
Love seeing you in my video feed
Thank you for the love and support! 🥰🥰🥰
@@SimplySallie Always
@@Iadoreferrets I def recognize your photo, you’re one of those OGs that have been around for so long! I really appreciate it!
@@SimplySallie lol yes I have been around for a good bit now ❤️
How do I find her Etsy shop? I love those name signs
I don't know if anyone has ask you what you use to put in your inventory in the computer is there a specific way you do it 🤔 I know some people use BoxHero to put in everything in there do you do that too for you're business?
I pretty much have everything stored on my computer! I used to use a hard drive but it corrupted and lost so much so I need to find something better!
@@SimplySallie Thank you Sallie I was just asking I saw all your Spray paint and how you know when you need more with a busy life and working and Family life I know we always forget when we need something is there a day out of the week to go around and check what you need to Order? That would be a good video to see anyway Thank you, Sallie, for sharing your Business with us I love seeing your videos I always love to go back and watch them again lol !!
Forgive my ignorance because I don’t know much about this stuff, but instead of dropping all the orders off at the store, is there a reason you don’t work with UPS to use your house as a pickup location?
How do you know what box and what label go together? Did he mark the outside?
Yes he writes the name on the box and I’ll match the label to it 😊
What is that blue wood glue you're using?
Loctite professional!
Could John go slower while making the boxes. Thank you.
Does anyone have the best place that has the most affordable cost effective hard cover envelope Miller's please thank you
Is postage expensive for the oversized packages?
It can be up to $30 at the most but usually not that high!
Dude! You make bank? I got the skills to make this signs like this.... im just dumb with the selling part and the etsy side.
You got this, just takes lots of research and just getting out there and doing it!
Do you ever have any issues with your signs breaking during shipment?
Very very rarely! I've had maybe 2 signs break in the last 6 months. We just make sure to package very well to avoid that.
@@SimplySallie thank you! I’m hoping to purchase a laser cutter soon! Thanks for your videos!
Why dont you use 3m double stick tape?
I do use the 3M for small items sometimes! I just have a good rhythm going with the glue and it’s cheaper! But if letters are super small I do use the tape 😊
Girl we need to get you a better microphone. Sounds like you’re a million miles away. Rode Wireless Go II is good, I use it in video production.
Yes I do need to do that! I'm so behind on all the tech and things I need. I'll get better! 😅
@@SimplySallie. Your sound was perfect on my end!
