I'm sorry that someone said mean things about you and this company--they're probably just jealous. I love the idea behind this box!
ReplyDeleteYour boxes are amazing & for anyone to say something bad about you & what you do is insane! You keep it up & don't let the haters get you down. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the 1st time that I have come across your box and I think that the idea of it is great. More people need to spread kindness. Keep up the good work!
