My last production run ever!
No more bento boxes left. Absolutely crazy.
It has been a bit of a journey. I slept 3-4 hours a night for 3 years breastfeeding a baby boy throughout the night and caring for my little girl plus running the business. I infused the graphics onto each box myself. Wrote each 3 paragraph thank you notes myself. Packed each one myself. Each bento box and design takes me a long time to redesign so the infusion process can take place.
I had bigger companies stop my very first order of bento boxes 1 day before they were due to be shipped. I had to change the style of my bento boxes all together.
I had another similar business try and close me down and another that took sole rights to the bento boxes from the manufacturer so I was unable to purchase any more. Which meant the entire time I was in business I have never profited from any sales. I like to tell myself I broke even but that is a lie to keep myself sane. As my dad says at least I got the experience. 😫
It might have been a sign to just slow down and be with my family, my kids. It took a toll on my health, my family, my marriage. I burnt out. I never knew what that was until it happened.
I do want to thank each and everyone of you who purchased from me. It means and meant so much to me. It meant I was able to stay home with my babies for longer, spend time with them during the day and work all through the night.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
❤️❤️❤️
