Still clasps...

Good Sunday morning Joy-Creators!

Usually, we would be preparing Joy Boxes to go out to subscribers tomorrow, and packaging up the new collection to launch it on Thursday.  Instead, we are still waiting for clasps. Long story short, we're now on the 2nd shipment and still no sign of them. But jewelry can't be shipped until the clasps are attached, so we wait.  What does that mean for us? Well, we improvise, and boy are we well versed in that dance! We will postpone our July launch, tentatively for Thursday, July 11th at noon. And to make up for the lost revenue, we're going to be starting a 12 days of Christmas in July sale leading up to launch day.

So if you would join us in praying:

1. For the shipment of clasps to arrive Monday so our artisans can finish the collection.
2. For customs to process our paperwork quickly and the box would move swiftly and safely to the US.
3. For the 12 days of Christmas in July sale to keep our artisan wages and bills paid.

Some weeks I do struggle with the weight of keeping payroll paid and bills paid. It's a lot of jewelry to sell! But knowing I have so many prayer warriors lifting all 8 of us at Alegria up to the Lord, it brings peace.  Thank you.

Also, if you are not a member of the Alegria Joy-Creators, please look that up on Facebook and join - we have an artisan prayer request in that group that we aren't publishing on our public web page.
