<div>I'm Kelli and I have an arts &amp; crafts brick &amp; mortar business that I have poured my heart into for the last 14 years. I have worked hard and have been blessed to meet and work with some amazing people while going through the ups and downs that life throws at you. I always push through and I try to look for the positive in whatever comes at me. I've had to move my business now for the fourth and (I really mean it) final time. I consolidated the businesses when my dad passed, survived COVID, and now the property being sold at my current location has facilitated these moves. This final move has had delays, which I have worked through, but they have tested me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know me, I've always battled through everything and have said, "This is not what is going to break me."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Honestly, this past week, I broke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I've been processing what has happened, I have cried so much and have been pretty defeated—honestly because I don't know how to fix this. It's a significant financial impact. <strong>So I am putting it out there and asking for your help, which my friends say I'm the worst at.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So what happened?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I learned I was going to be moving earlier this year, I needed to start getting things sorted and organized with all the moving parts and pieces. One of the things I did was move my cutting dies into "storage" so that they were out of the way but easy to access in the chaos of when I actually moved. What I discovered last week (I was going to start on Valentine's products) was that where I put the dies has a water issue, and consequently, they are now damaged with mold, mildew, warped wood, and rust. Water is truly the worst thing that could happen to them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>These dies are the core of my business</strong>—boxes, containers, the bases of most everything I do start with these dies. I have purchased/collected these dies over the last 10+ years. There are some custom ones, retired ones, and some big sets, and honestly, some I'm looking for because I'm not sure if I packed them away—it's a lot, and I still have a few to go. The dies were purchased over the years; some are from the thrill of the hunt, saving money to buy, a great sale, gifts from my dad—you get the picture. Almost 200 dies in my inventory, and just a handful are not damaged. I am angry, frustrated, heartbroken, &amp; overwhelmed, and frankly scared. I need to start replacing them to keep my business going. Honestly, I am not financially in a position to do this. <strong>So I'm putting it out there because the replacement costs on these are $95 up to several hundred dollars each depending on the die/set.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So here I am asking for help. If you can donate, it would be amazing. If you can't, I get it, but I would ask if you have a creative artsy friend who likes to support other creative types, maybe you would share this with them.</strong> I would really appreciate any good thoughts, energy, prayers—whatever you believe—be sent my way. I'm gonna need them. I truly am afraid I can't get through this one, but I am holding my head up with a big smile on my face and trying my darndest to put creative energy out into the world.
</div>
