Success comes in all ways….

Posted in Uncategorized on 04/21/2010 03:16 am by Bekah

Ivy & GrandmaHello all! We just got back from Shakopee MN for the spring festival show and we did so good! I had such a great time selling with my twin sister Sarah and having Mom come with to watch Iversyn. It was sort of like a “girlfriends weekend.” With Ivy only 6 weeks old, I had my mom come along to help with her so I could still nurse and just be with her. We had a blast. What a blessing to be in this family and for them to truley believe in me and travel with me wherever my desires take me. I am one blessed girl.

Hot Pink Pants

Hot Pink Pants

We even wore our “uniforms” on Sunday to the booth. I got us hot pink corduroys to wear along with our Rebekah Scott Designs t-shirts. Iversyn even got a pair of hot pink pants from her Aunt Lia. So we got a picture to savor the moment. There was something about wearing those hot pink pants and tshirts that really made me feel like I have made something of this and I felt really fullfilled and excited about where this is taking me and my family. Thank you fans for making this possible, I will not let you down.

I also got to meet Alison Werder, my sales rep from the cities area, in person. She is perfect for the job, I am really excited to see where she will take our business as well. She is well informed and LOVES my things, what better match is there? If you want to book a show in the Minneapolis area, let us know, and you can book with her. She has a great mix of bags and accessories to show you and all my swatches to even design your own with her. Welcome Alison, here’s to a journey we will remember!

So that’s it for now, but we are getting lots of acceptence letters to the Art Shows, so be sure to check our “calender” on the website, www.shoprsd.com to see where we will be next. Okay back to the grind, gotta cut out those babies booties!

If you are in the area, take a peak, she also has wristlets and cosmetics, which are GREAT Mother’s Day gifts or wedding and graduation gifts. It’s that time of year again, happy shopping!

 

Brainstorming fanatic

Posted in Uncategorized on 04/09/2010 01:20 am by Bekah

If I wasn’t a bag designer I would be a professional brainstormer. Yep, you heard right, I just LOVE brainstorming about any job or opportunity or business venture, I just plain LOVE it. I organized a “passion group” in Sioux Falls where a group of girls get together and chit chat about business and how to stay passionate about what we feel we are gifted in. I always feel uplifted and energized during and after the meeting. I have one in Brookings SD as well, and they really help me stay passionate about my work and about others dreams. I love brainstorming with the women on their businesses or their dreams. If you need some motivating in life or business feel free to join us for our meetings. Email us from the website at www.shoprsd.com and we will tell you where and when, we would love to have new faces and new reasons to brainstorm. We may just be the ticket you needed to get started and start living your dreams!
I look at Iversyn and think, just what will her dreams be? Where will her journey go and how far and how big? I have been praying for God to reveal His will for her life early on so we can encourage and empower her in that journey. I can’t wait to brainstorm with her on how to get where she desires! So here’s to empowering women and living big, Praise God!

 

Easter Blessings…

Posted in Uncategorized on 04/01/2010 04:38 pm by Bekah

Easter is such a fun time of year and a very reflective time of year as well. I like preparing my heart and mind for the season as well and this year I feel like I did a better job of it. I reflected more on His sacrifice for me. I am the most blessed gal alive, I do what I love everyday, design and I get to stay at home with my children, who are both healthy and full of life, thank you God.
We are back in the swing of things, sewing is up to speed for the most part and I just ordered some new fabrics for the summer, so much fun!

I recently hired my first sales representative from the Minneapolis area, Allison Werder, and I am very excited to see the progress she can make in the cities area for Rebekah Scott Designs. She is lively and loves my company and our vision and mission. Welcome Allison, so excited to see where this takes us! If you live in the cities area you will able to book shows with me or Allison and enjoy our products up close and personal. Stay tuned for detail… we will be sending an email about when to book shows with Allison and some “Meet the Designer” shows where I will be there in addition.
Have a wonderful Easter and remember to sing “He Arose” with extra vigor!

She’s arrived!

Posted in News From Bekah on 03/11/2010 08:23 pm by Bekah

100_0720Oh goodness, I am in LOVE! We had a baby girl on Feb 28th, at 11:28pm, 7 pounds 10 ounces, and 20 inches long. Her name is Iversyn Pauline. Pauline is my grandmother and we nickname her Ivy every once in awhile. She is so fun. We didn’t know what we were having and she was so worth the wait! What a treat to have one of each at home now.
She has inspired me in all kinds of way. I want to develope easy washable pieces for play and cute for around the house and out to play, we girls always want to look good and have fun doing it! She also inspires me to be a better mom, wife and business owner. Funny how children put everything into perspective. Life just stands still when I hold her little body and stare at her. I want to offer her the world and be everything I can for her. I also want to lead by example and show her women can do anything and God will surely bless her journey.
Her time of birth is a funny story. I needed my wedding band cleaned and tightened, so my husband Nick took it in for me and then surprised me at Christmas and had it the setting changed to include the two birthstones of our children, Dec. and Feb. Well Iversyn was late from her due date, she was 8 days overdue and arrived with only 2 minutes to spare before we had to change that birth stone!!! We weren’t really even thinking about it until the nurse announced the time of birth and we both raised our hands and started laughing. God works in funny ways too you know!!!
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts throughout the pregnancy. She is a very easy baby so far and allowing me plenty of time to design and dream up new ideas. God is blessing our socks off and we are soaking it up!

 

Word of mouth advertising

Posted in News From Bekah, Uncategorized on 02/25/2010 04:10 pm by Bekah

Oh My CupcakesWord of mouth advertising is certainly the most affordable way to advertise, and I love how it builds artists and business women up from accountability between businesses and customers.

So I was brainstorming about how else I could do some word of mouth advertising and I decided I needed to advertise for my fellow artists friends who have successful business’ and that I am a big fan of.  So I am creating a mini-brochure that will feature my favorite artists called “These are GirlRanAwayWIththeSpoonlogoa few of My Favorite Things.”  People are always asking me where I got my jewelry or home goods, or art and I thought, I better give back what they have given me! demco cards 029

So from now on, when you order a purse you will receive a mini-brochure complete with about 7 of my favorite artists/business’ and their products and website listed.    I love seeing people grow in what they love doing and want to do whatever I can to see their dreams come true!  Enjoy ;)

 

Newest Radio Commercial…

Posted in News From Bekah on 02/25/2010 03:55 pm by Bekah

Hello all! I do radio commercials for a local station in Sioux Falls SD KELO AM 1320 and here is my latest version of a minute of inspiration for all. Enjoy ;)

This is Rebekah Scott with Rebekah Scott Designs. I sew and design purses, and accessories. I’ve been in business 5 years and love what I do. Have you made goals lately about that you can do every day, every week , every month, and every year? It might sound overwhelming, but just breaking it down is pretty simple. Here is an example of what I do.

Every day, I do something for the business, it may just be an email, phone call, or google search, but I do something everyday towards my business or a new idea I have in mind. This is especially helpful if you are starting a business.

 Every week I write a thank you card on Thursday mornings. I have a lot to be thankful for and I take the time to do it every week.

Every month I plan one hour of visualizing. I set myself apart and just envision what I want to see happen and how to make it happen. That hour is so refreshing and energizing.

Every year I follow up with key players in my business individually to make sure their needs are met and we are growing together. These simple steps are easy to follow and make a big difference in growing myself and business. Ask yourself, what goals can I set?

 So go ahead, start dreaming big. Visit my website at shoprsd.com to find out more.

 

Surrender…

Posted in News From Bekah, Uncategorized on 02/22/2010 09:10 pm by Bekah

Okay, so officially I am overdue and this is has been a learning experience!  We went early on our due date with our first born Gus and so I figured of course we will go in early, but I was wrong, which brings me to think of what I have learned through this.  I have little notes all over my sewing space and house encouraging me or uplifting me all the time.  So I had sticky notes hanging up with the word LABOR on them. And I would just think “labor” to keep it in the my mind and speaking, thinking and visualizing it. Well that hasn’t been working, so I was getting really down about things because I love working and LOVE what I do and I didn’t plan it right for time off with baby and I wanted to enjoy baby already, and I have been at a stand still.  So just as I was praying and asking for forgiveness for trying to do things my way all the time, I heard a sermon at church called “Surrender.”  I knew God was speaking to me and telling me, “Bekah, please surrender this to Me.”  And so yes, I changed my sticky notes to say “Surrender”.    So right now, I really have a peace so to say about this baby and His Divine timing.  God-I surrender all.

I also did some brainstorming on things for the business in the new year and also for this summer and my family.  As far as business we are definitely introducing a key loop to hook your keys on.  Which I find pretty exciting, one more thing to keep us organized! 

And then I was thinking about my family life and how to communicate love more this year.  I am going to write a thank you card to each one of my children on Thursday mornings.  I already write one thank you card to someone I am thinking about on Thursday mornings, so I am adding my family so that someday Gus and this baby can read them.   I have so much to be thankful for and setting a day and time each week allows me to remember that and praise God for that. 

So I encourage you to set a day and time and be thankful for your loved ones too, it really satisfies the soul and feels so good! 

So until next time, I surrender!
