💕Happy New Year from Beamie's Buddies!💕
Somehow it's 2025 now, the last year really went by!
It was a quieter year for me here outwardly, but there was a tonne of behind the scenes work I was able to accomplish this year. The Website has been a dream of mine forever and I finally got it running, with the online shop to open up soon. I never thought I'd be able to do it myself but I'm happy it exists now! I was also able to revamp my logos/marketing/stationary and order forms/process. All this means that in the years to come, my general process should be a lot more streamlined!
The biggest thing project-wise was the starting of my own original dolls in the fall...which I intended to show off and have for sale before the holiday season, but our postal service here in Canada went on a long strike, so I deemed it best to hold off until the new year. I also decided not to do Xmas commissions this year due to scheduling reasons, but it turned out to be for the better because of the strike!
Going forward, this is the plan for early 2025!
opening commissions for the late winter/early spring! (Early Jan)
posting my completed New Dolls (throughout Jan)
having those dolls for sale / debuting the new shop (late Jan/Early Feb)
working on more original dolls & commissions! (Feb +)
still toying with this idea, but Im thinking of making some Beamie's Buddies pins/buttons/stationary merch. might think about that into the spring/summer though!
Thank you all for sticking with me through all these years, and especially this year with the gaps between projects/info. I'm really happy to have gotten a lot of "business housecleaning" done in the background, which will hopefully mean I will have more mental energy for more/smoother output!
I hope you have gentle start to the new year, surrounded by lots of hugs-whether human, animal, or dolly!
~ Love, Beamie
