Hey everyone — popping in with a quick Sparked update because we’ve definitely been quiet lately. This afternoon, Tochi and Carly are here helping me label jars, add wicks, and get a few holiday orders ready to go out tomorrow… and then we’re celebrating with pizza, obviously. 🍕🕯️
So here’s the honest update: we didn’t do our usual big holiday push this year. With juggling my full-time job and the rising costs of supplies (thank you, tariffs 🙃), we decided to slow down a bit and focus on using the stock we already have.
Which means… if you want candles, now is actually a great time to grab some. We have beautiful scents ready to go, and every purchase truly helps us keep Sparked moving forward and continue teaching adults with disabilities real hands-on skills.
We’re also starting to look for a few volunteers — even just an extra pair of hands during production days makes a big difference.
And one exciting thing: we’re hoping to build an actual Sparked workspace on our 3-acre property in the next couple of years, so we’re not taking over bedrooms and the kitchen forever. Baby steps, but we’re getting there.
Thanks for sticking with us through the quiet moments. We may not be doing a huge holiday launch, but we’re still here, still creating, and still growing — just in our own slow and steady way. ❤️
