I’m throwing around the idea of having a studio time where customers can bring their own projects that they have been trying to do for a while and never seem to have time. Like diamond art, crochet, even coloring books. Doesn’t matter. I would charge a small fee for the seat to use the studio, but it would give anyone an opportunity to just sit down and do something fun. Maybe meet some new friends and just chat and play. Would that be something anyone would be interested in??

Does anyone follow any of the local influencers that go to local joints and talk about them? I’ve seen them but I’m drawing a blank. I know of annaeatspittsburgh but I’m not a food place….I need to get the business out there more, and I’m thinking that may help.

My middle child (Preston) is selling tickets for football. They go off Monday the 25th. They are $10 each and you can win $4,000 cash. If you are interested, let me know what number you want and you can Venmo me (no llc at the end, that one charges me). I’ll send you a picture of the ticket with your info on it. Or you can pick up your ticket at the store if you prefer. I’ll update the numbers as they sell.

Thank you for your support. I absolutely HATE doing fundraising….

The store is closed today. I’ll be on a field trip with my middle. Tomorrow, I’ll be in around noon.

Look what I found for the next plant bingo. Glitter daubers!!! Hehe. I’m probably too excited about these. Don’t worry though, I’ll still have the plant tokens too. 😉
