Behind-the-Scenes in January 2025

A big thank you to everyone for an incredible 2024! We are positively overwhelmed by all the support and growth. As we continue to work hard to keep our current products in stock, we also have a great lineup of new products waiting for their appearance this year.

One exciting development this month has been adding Shaun’s books to resources like Goodreads and Storygraph. In case you’re not familiar with what that is, it’s a website where you can keep track of what you’re reading and see what your friends are reading, too. Goodreads takes quite a while to add books, so we only have book #1 on there right now; but you can find all of Shaun’s books on Storygraph.

What’s New

• Since moving to Montana and updating our phone numbers, our original business cards weren’t correct anymore. We still had plenty left so we started blacking out the old numbers. Well, we FINALLY were able to get new business cards with all up-to-date information!
• We have a new mascot! Introducing Scrub-Beau! We’ll be joining him on many adventures as he joins the team. The first week on the job, and he’s already found himself in quite a bit of trouble: playing in the woodchips, getting caught up in the yarn, he even got himself dirty while trying to paint a picture. Oh boy, are we in for a treat. You can follow along with Scrub-Beau’s adventures on our Instagram page. #TheAdventuresOfScrubBeau

Be Strong
by Maltbie Davenport Babcock

Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle—face it; ’tis God’s gift.

Be strong!
Say not, “The days are evil. Who’s to blame?”
And fold the hands and acquiesce—oh shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s name.

Be strong!
It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong.
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not—fight on! To-morrow comes the song.
