Did Somebody Say 5 Years? 🎂🖌🥂

When we started ART SIPPERS back in 2019, we had no idea of the rollercoaster we were jumping on. 🎢

All we knew was that 90% of small businesses fail within the first 5 years. 😮

So we braced ourselves for a wild ride, and what a ride it's been!

Today, we are a little bit gassed to reach this milestone 🙌

We've not only survived these daunting first 5 years...

We have come out mentality and spirituality stronger than ever! 💪

In the early days, many people didn't really understand the concept of a "paint & sip" event. 🖌

💭 "Painting and drinking?"

💭 "Is it an art gallery?"

💭 "You paint... we drink?"

We spent our time educating people about our unique experience...

🗣 "No, YOU will be doing the painting, and there's music, dad jokes, etc..."

Not to mention the massive hurdle of trying to convince people that they are capable of drawing more than simple stick figure. 😅

Yes, there have been countless stressful moments and setbacks – events that didn't sell well, stock issues, and many, MANY stupid mistakes.

But, we've learned to brush off the "happy little accidents" and approach challenges with compassion and creativity.

Five years on, the 'Paint & Sip' industry is booming! 📈

ART SIPPERS has evolved, with a clearer focus on online challenges and art boxes, so we can spread our mission to get everyone creative far and wide!

But the most significant change has been within us.

This entrepreneural experience has been an incredible journey of personal growth.

Our bank accounts haven't grown that much over this time...😅

But we've never felt such clarity about who we are and what we love.

Every day is an adventure!

And isn't that what life's about?

We've learned that with curiosity and openminds (mixed with a bit of patience and persistence), ANYTHING is possible.

As we celebrate this business birthday, we want to thank our SIPPERS FAM. 💟🫶

Your good vibes and love have been the fuel to our creative fire. 🔥

We can't wait to see what the next five years have in store for us... and for you!

Cheers to many more years of growth, creativity, and sipping (of course! 😝)
