In this week's episode of the Crafty Entrepreneur, you are going to hear an interview between
one queen to another, SJ Etsy Queen is interviewing the crayon queen, one of my number one clients
who has absolutely smashed Etsy from opening a store, working with me, completing the Etsy
shop blueprint. You're going to hear all about that in today's episode. So go and grab a
cup of tea, sit down, settle in and listen up.
Hi. Hello. You're here. I feel emotional. I feel emotional. Why is that? How was that?
You look lovely. I like the t-shirt. Thank you. Oh, amazing. Check you out. I've been
redoing like my whole work room. I've been redoing it all. I can see with the blinds
buttons. So I did like a whole like my whole wall back here is I feel so much better. I
have a whole shipping station over here. Check you out shipping station. It is. It's really
cool and it really helps me stay organized because my life was a complete shamble mess
and I was losing my mind. But you feel better now. I do. I'm still working on a lot of it.
But it's like it's a mess now because I had to set up for this, which is fine. But yeah,
I do. It's great. I love it. You got the KQ in the background. Crayon Queen. Love all
that. You got products to hand. We can talk about that. We just jumped straight in. The
whole point of this podcast is just to have a chat and just get to know each other. But
we've pretty much spoke every day for the last year, haven't we? If not longer. So it's
good. I think for the purposes of the podcast is to share how our relationship started,
what that was like in the early days, what has happened, you know, ups and downs, you know,
the reality of running a business and then go into kind of like how life is now, you know,
and kind of just have a chat and see what comes up. Is that okay? Perfect. Good, good, good, good.
So I'll go straight into it. I normally record an intro before or after the session and then
put that on. So let's go. Welcome to today's episode of the Crafty Entrepreneur with your
host, SJ Lewis, the Etsy Queen. And today I have one of my favorite, one of my most special
and unique and wonderful and amazing clients, Angela, who is the Crayon Queen. Welcome, Angela.
Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. Excellent. How about that for an intro? If only you could
have somebody say that every time you walked into the room, wouldn't that be amazing?
It would. Absolutely. So tell everybody about your business and what you sell.
I am the Crayon Queen. My name kind of speaks for itself. I do make kids custom crayons and then it
kind of elevated into adding different aspects to those crayons, such as birthday color impacts,
custom coloring books, just to kind of create packages for parents to give to children at
birthday parties or for a custom birthday gift from, say, a grandparent or an aunt that needs
to send it across the country who aren't in the same vicinity as their family member.
And it's just grown ever since. I've added more products since then, but it all started
with a little custom crayon. Is that your first product? Your first product?
This one, yes. My crayons were my very first product. And looking back, going back eight
years ago, it has tremendously improved. I mean, just how do I put this? The growth of my business
has been amazing. Fantastic. We'll get to that in a second. So you are based in the States. So
Arizona. Correct. You melt crayons. So you buy them in huge boxes, don't you, directly from Crayola?
Correct. So Crayola has distributors. I don't buy them directly from Crayola. They distribute it out.
I do buy them in bulk boxes. So when I order, it's 3000 red crayons in one box. I then take that box.
I have to peel all the wrappers off. So there is a lot of behind the scenes process before
I can ever even get to melting down that crayon to create those custom shapes.
And I have watched you many TikTok lives with you sat kind of over the sink peeling up the wrappers
and everybody's like, what are you doing? I mean, it's one way to hook people in to get them to stop
and watch what you're doing. It is fascinating. But you literally do that for every single crayon
that you melt down. You have to peel off the Crayola label to start with, which is correct.
Yeah. And then you melt them down. You've got your own custom molds and everything you do,
like the coloring books and the labeling is beautiful. It's stunning. And it's so
personalized. This is what I absolutely love about what you do. And what's the essence of
Etsy essentially is that people can get beautiful custom-made products that you have crafted for
them and made for their kids. So you put a lot of effort into this and tell us a little bit about
that process. And the one question I get is, well, if I'm making custom stuff, how do I get ahead?
You know, how do I deal with like, have I got an increase in sales? But you've got this down to
a fine art now. I mean, you just mentioned your shipping station, your setup. So tell us a little
bit about the process, how you keep on top of all these orders that you get.
So over the years, I have learned how to critique it. I take and I'll look at my
stats, my sales. Each individual listing is very important when you have a busy season. My busy
seasons, I'm really pushing Christmas this year, but my busy seasons are Valentine's and Easter.
And I pre-make a lot of my top sellers, my best sellers. A lot of them are already pre-made for
next year and they're stored away, ready to go. That way I can focus on other orders that kind of
straggle in between. I have everything just ready. All I do is change out a name on a, you know,
say a personalized coloring book. I pre-print a lot of my coloring book guts. That way they're
ready to go. It's just all about utilizing your slow time because every business does have a
downtime and just utilizing that time to prep and get yourself ready for your busy seasons.
And that's really worked for you as a system, hasn't it? Having that preparation period.
We kind of jump straight into it. We haven't actually touched on the fact how we know each
other. So as I alluded in the intro, Angela is one of my favorite clients, shall I say,
but also friends now, 100%. And I think you found me on TikTok when I was doing TikTok Lives when
I first started out Etsy coaching. And I think you brought one of my courses, didn't you? Which
when I first started out, I was so amazed. I mean, I'm still amazed. I sold a course today and I'm
like, oh my God, that's amazing. I get so excited. Honestly, people have no idea how much it means to
me. But you were one of the OGs supporting me when I first started out. So what was the reason
you came to me? Tell us, like, tell people, like, what made you watch my TikTok Lives and what made
you think, actually, do you know what? I'm going to have a punt on her and then see what happens.
Well, I think with any Etsy shop owner, we can all, we all have room for improvement.
We can make the sale, but does that mean that our shop is up to par with being found? Was it luck
on me being found? I had in the past paid close to 10 grand to a company to help me do the same
thing that you helped me do. But I came across your TikTok Live and I'm like, and I just opened
up Crayon Queen not long before I came across you after jumping, you know, just life changes.
And I just kind of wanted your input. What can I improve on? What can I do to excel my business,
the Crayon Queen shop? So you did, you gave me a free five minute
shop analysis and I started researching you, digging into you.
It makes me feel like, what did you find?
And I was like, excuse me, is this going to be another, you know, dud? So that's why I did my
research. And after doing all that, I came to the conclusion that it just,
you're just putting my path for a reason. And I just jumped in. And I think a lot of small
businesses need to realize that you have to, you have to jump feet first. You need to invest in
your business in order to grow your business. And that's what I did with you. I don't even
think I started with the blueprint first. I started with the eight hour course with you and
then bought the blueprint. I went backwards. Yeah, well, that's fine. I mean, I was just
trialing as well to see what people wanted. And I offered the eight hours just as a deep
dive to sit with people. I don't offer that anymore, actually, funny enough.
And I think what was interesting with you is that you already had an established business,
didn't you? You already had an established shop and it was doing okay, but you wanted to create
a whole separate entity for personal reasons. And you were starting pretty much from scratch when
we started working together. So I think that was an interesting dynamic as well. So from my point
of view, it was like, well, you surely must have known what to do if you were already doing it,
but that wasn't the case, was it? Absolutely not. I had no clue about SEO. I had no idea about,
I mean, I had some idea that titles need to match keywords, things of that nature.
But like the guts of your listings for algorithms and how to research your keywords
and all, you know, just all those aspects of your shop, it's a lot more work than what,
you know, most people want to think. You can't just throw up your Etsy shop and say,
oh, you know, I hope to get a million sales. It don't work that way. You have to be invested.
You have to work each and every day in your Etsy shop, whether it's, you know,
creating a new listing, changing your shop announcement, your banners, your pictures.
I mean, I've grown so much just in my photography alone. Your photography is phenomenal. Your
products look like you could actually eat what you've made. Obviously, for disclaimer reasons,
you cannot eat the crayons, but they're so bloody good. Honestly, every time you send me a picture,
oh, is this all right? I'm like, oh my God, Angela, that's phenomenal. She said, oh, I just
took a picture in my phone. I'm like, oh my God, lady, you just, you've done so well. It's amazing.
Have you got any of your donuts or anything to hand? Oh, everybody, if you're watching this,
or if you're listening, go over to my YouTube, SJ Etsy Queen to have a look at what Angela's selling.
These are so good. So is that crayons or chalk or both? This one is sidewalk chalk.
It's amazing. I put this one inside of like, you know, a half dozen donut. It has a personalized
label on it. See that? I love that. I love that. So these are great for, you know,
kids birthday gift. It's a summer gift. A little kids graduation gift. But I mean,
it's sidewalk chalk. Let me go back. That's so pretty. It's so good. So much time and energy
and care has clearly gone into your products and your packaging. I mean, that's obviously an actual
donut box. It is. Yeah. Oh my God. I mean, what's the response been so far to those products?
Um, these so far, I don't think they've actually generated in the algorithms yet.
Okay. So brand, brand new. Right. Yes. These are brand, brand new. My other sidewalk chalk,
it's not where I want it to be, but it'll get there. Yeah. So I think it's just a matter of
discovery. Yeah. And I think it's this illusion that if you put up a shop and put up a list in
that instantly everybody will see you. But what I've taught you and what I teach everybody else
is that it takes time. The way that the algorithms and the computers kind of programs in the
background work, it needs to establish actually what your listing is about, what your shop is
about. And you do get a virtual score in the background that we cannot see, but the algorithm
is building up a score to say, is this a trusted seller? Will this person honor the sale? Um,
is it good products? You know, like it's checking that you've completed all the different aspects
of your listings and your shop, loads of shops I ordered, they have the bare bones. And it's like,
if you don't fill in all the boxes that Etsy gives you, the algorithm, if you can't be asked to fill
in the all the different features, we're not going to put you in front of customers. So that's a big
element of this. So it does take 45 to 90 days normally for the algorithm to build up a picture
of right, these products will best suit these types of customers. Because Etsy all the time,
you know this, if you go onto any website, it tracks what you do, what you click on, what you
look at, what you scroll by, what you stop. And they're building up these customer profiles to
then understand, right, Angela's listings, the donut chalks will be best going over to these
types of people. It's so sophisticated, but once you get your head around it, it takes the emotion
out of it. Lots of people get really upset and close their shops in a in a shrub, because it's
not doing what it should be doing. And Etsy's crap and Etsy's this is, oh no, actually get your head
around the technology and you won't feel that way about it. Yes, and I was the same way. I'm just like,
it's not doing anything. Yeah, but it's because I wasn't knowledgeable in what I needed to do to get
my shop out there. So you started Crayon Queen pretty much new when and when we met and had our
eight hour session and you're doing the Etsy shop blueprint and you had your ups and downs. Tell
everybody about the journey your shop has gone on, because you shared this with me and you kindly
allowed me to use some of your material in my kind of testimonials and adverts. So tell everybody
who's listening or watching kind of the journey that you've gone on with your second shop after
working with me. So, excuse me, it was a slow roll. I had a shop prior to Crayon Queen.
It was okay. I did well, but I needed something for me. It was it was kind of a personal
move in my life. I did start it. I had no clue what I was doing still. I mean, I didn't even
realize I had no clue what I was doing. I was probably, most people who are going to be watching
this, you have to teach yourself and get the knowledge from people like Sarah to learn how
to accelerate your shop and what to do to get your shop to the top. But anyway,
I basically was just throwing my listings up. I met Sarah and then around Christmas time,
I had a corporate company who ordered just one order from me. It was a kid's Christmas color
and book with crayons. And a few weeks go by and she reaches back out to me and is interested in
a corporate order. It was a very large order for an electric company in Utah. That was really exciting.
So it just kind of started there and it just blew up. And that was after working with Sarah
and figuring out how to incorporate those special keywords and those titles and those descriptions
and those announcements and just a whole package of my shop. And then Valentine's, of course,
was always a busy season for me. I was worried about the crayon queen because I did well in the
other shop, but didn't know how it was going to take off in the crayon queen. It did take off.
And then Easter just blew up. I started making Easter chalk just out of boredom one day,
which is how much I think about. And the Easter chalk just blew up. And I did, I don't remember
the exact number, close to $46,000 in like, what was it, a two-month span. And it was phenomenal.
You just have to keep pushing. And even with those kind of big numbers, you can't stop. You
got to keep going and just look for different ways to improve and make your process cleaner
and easier, work smarter, not harder, which is what I have been working on for the past year.
And I'm finally at that point where I think I'm critiquing it. I'm working smarter, not harder,
because it's just me. I'm doing everything behind the scenes, all the follow-up emails,
all the listings, all the photography, all the product making, everything. So,
you got to remember to take that break. You got to take that break.
And celebrate. I love when your messages come through. Literally, when you got that corporate
audio, like, oh my God. And you said, like, we just send screenshots to each other and just like,
this person ordered off me, blah, blah, blah. And then they place this massive order. I'm like,
so it's so nice to have that counterpart to celebrate those milestones with because other
people don't get it. I'm sure if you tell somebody else, they're like, oh, well done. All right.
Whereas I'm like, oh my God, that is epic. You are amazing. And I think that goes to show the power
of you never know who's looking at your shop. You never know who's ordering from your shop.
You could have just, like, took out, like, did a crappy job with that order. And that person
might have received that and gone, oh, maybe not. I'll move on to somebody else. But because of all
the little extra detail and care that you take in your processes and your messaging and, you know,
reaching out to customers, that just made them feel really special. And they knew and felt that
if they put in that massive order with you, that you would honor that and be able to cope with it.
And I think that you just never know who's watching. So it does take time for these to
kick off. But once you get that little bit of taste, I mean, I think at one point, even before
Christmas, you were saying like, things have been going good. But my air cons just made my AC units
just smashed. And it's just taken all my money. Like, what the hell? And then next week, I get a
message going, oh, my God, I've just had the best Christmas ever. Like, what's that about? So
it can be a bit of a rollercoaster, can't it? It absolutely is. Yes, absolutely. Christmas was
very good to me. And I will, you know, everybody has their own spirituals and, you know, their
hires of who they believe in. But, you know, you sit back. I mean, that AC unit cost me a grand.
It was all my savings. And I just sat back and I said, you know what, I said, God's got me because
I work I work hard, I pay it forward. And I, you know, a few months went by Christmas, it's stuck,
it's stuck last year. Okay. But God bless me. And it's because I just, you know, you just got to
keep going. Just keep going. It can be you are going to have bad days. Don't ever think you're
not. But you just got to keep going. And that's just, that's how I do it. I have my bad days,
but I keep going. Keep going. You're critiquing it. Like you said, you're working smart and not
harder. It is just you in your business. So this should hopefully give hope. And just as a little
side note, we talk about AC unit. Angela is in the hottest place, literally ever. So in the UK,
at the time of recording, we've just had a mini heat we heat we've heat wave. One day, it was
about 25 degrees. And we're all like, Oh, my God, we're gonna die. What is the temperature on the
regular for you, Angela is pretty hot, isn't it? Yes, our summers can be anywhere from, you know,
last year was our history break in summer. So our temps were up in 125. And my AC broke in July in
one of the hottest months of the year. Thankfully, I have two units, so I had to move everything
downstairs. So I was coping downstairs, but it was out for a whole month. But it was, I mean,
our temps can get up to 125 degrees. I mean, it's just it's brutally hot. Mental and you're sat
melting crayons and working away building your business all at the same time. And a little
factor we haven't actually told anybody at the start of this podcast. You are a mum to six kids,
are you not? I am. Yes, six. I know some of them are a little bit older and not in the home. But
still, that is phenomenal. Honestly, I'm so proud of like, anybody who can start a business who's a
mum, because that is a full time job in itself. Being a mum. Oh, my God. I mean, all the things
that happen to look after kids, keep yourself sane, but also to run a phenomenal business
alongside that. I mean, Angela, you are please, please, please take this as a massive compliment.
Bloody amazing. Like, I'm sure you don't give yourself enough credit for how awesome you are
to do all of that. And hopefully one day you'll sit back and go, do you know what? I did all right. I
did. That's all right. You did. You're doing it. I do. I am. I give myself credit because it is a
hard job. You know, it's, I've worked for myself for 20 plus years. So I've done maybe not this,
I haven't done like this exact business for 20 plus years, but I've worked for myself for 20
plus years while raising my children. And I do, I'm giving myself credit now as my kids are growing
up and moving away and, you know, fulfilling their dreams. I look and I say, you know, I did that.
I helped them get there all while raising them. And, you know, it's, it's a great feeling. It is.
So a little bit on that, you said you haven't always been crayon queen. So what, what other
things have you done? Because I think sometimes people can think like it's bad to pivot or to
change. But I think with all aspects of life, you grow and evolve and you move on out of certain
careers and certain businesses. So maybe tell everybody a little bit about kind of your
entrepreneurial journey and the things that you've done. You said you've been in business for 20 years.
I have. I did home daycare. So, and that's really how crayon queen evolved. I did home
daycare with children. I had like a full setup. I would teach, you know, kind of like a preschool
setup. I had a really big passion for helping children and teaching them. So I did that for,
you know, 10 plus years. And when my dad passed away back in 2000, gosh, 10 years ago, 2014,
just my own mental health, I had to give that up. But that's, that's how the crayons came about
was I had a little boy in my daycare and I did this from home, but we did parties. You know,
I was all about, I was still crafty and we had a Valentine's Day party and he brought some little
dinosaur crayons to the party for, you know, all his friends. And I was like, that's kind of cool.
So that's really how my crayons evolved when I gave up home daycare and just kind of gave myself
some time to accept that my father passed away and things of that nature. And just Dylan, because
that year, my dad, his mother, his father, which were my grandparents and my uncle,
all passed away within a year span. So it was really, really a trying time in my life and my
mental health. But I looked at those dinosaur crayons, I'm like, that would be really cool to
help teach children. And that's really kind of how it evolved and started. I look back at some of my
very first products and I'm like, why did people buy that? Like that is awful.
That's the thing. Once you've done it and you've practiced and you've got better and you're so many
more years into it, those skills have developed. You do look back and cringe. We all do, don't we?
We look at things like, did I really share that on Facebook? Did I really look like, did I?
What was I thinking? You've done it so well. And I think that's the thing. I think some people can
get really caught up in wanting it to be that perfection, but you haven't developed the skills
or practiced it enough to warrant to be that good yet. So just starting is half the battle.
And then, like you say, you're a year down the line after working with me, many years down the
line of having multiple businesses. It's just like, if you invest in yourself and just practice
and get better and want to, you are going to. Nothing happens for free. Nothing happens by
magic. You know, it is, as you say, hard work and just keep going. Correct. Love it. So with
everything that you're doing, you've got your chalks, you've got your crayons, you've got your
coloring books. What else? I mean, you must be like your little brains ticking away,
thinking, what else can I do? What else can I melt?
Actually, I just, I have been making some Play-Doh kits.
Oh, yes, I saw the photos you sent.
Yes, scented Play-Doh. My husband, the father of my two boys, actually gave me that silly idea.
I'm like, because I need one more product to do. But I actually, I made some Valentine ones
and they're already posted in my Etsy shop. I have them listed and they're already being favorited.
So Valentine's next year, 25.
Yeah. Yes.
Yes. So I've been, you know, because I think, you know, children need, let me rephrase that.
I want customers who come to my shop to have the option to say, okay, crayons really aren't for my
children, but Play-Doh is, or I want to give them a couple options to choose from. And I also am
working on a multi kit so they can get crayons, Play-Doh chalk, and the personalized coloring
book all in like one shot, kind of like as a gift pack. Yeah. Because it's very important for
development. It's very important for learning and things of that nature. We as parents look at,
you know, Play-Doh or crayon or chalk and say, that's going to be a big mess and a big cleanup.
But as, as we age and look back at our children, it is a very important developmental stages in
a child's life to have those items to learn skills. I even play with the Play-Doh when I'm
making it. I color with the crayons after I make them because I have to test the product, right?
Yeah, no, definitely. And I think all those sensory aspects, the motor skills that kids are
getting from that, the educational aspect, not just how like giftable and beautiful they are and
personalized. There's so many different kind of unique selling points to what you sell online.
And Etsy's just kind of really worked well for you, but you're also looking at your own website.
I say that, but I don't know, but I do know because I'm the one building it.
Getting a website is an amazing thing. So that's in the pipeline as well, because as you know,
and I know the one thing you only kind of assets you really own in your business is an email list.
So Etsy is phenomenal, but you don't have access to that information. So building a website and
having people purchase for your website in the long term is a way to go. So that's a move that
you're making is not to get rid of Etsy, but to just add that other buying platform in your
portfolio. So lots of exciting things come in along that way. And yeah, I mean, my mind's
buzzing. We've talked about this year's subscription boxes, all those sorts of aspects,
more corporate orders. I mean, could you imagine if you got a few more of those every year?
That would be fantastic.
That would be fantastic. I mean, the businesses out there looking for something different and
unique, 100% your products, but hopefully this gives other people ideas because we can get very
caught up in kind of one way of looking at our business, but there can be multiple ways that we
can be earning revenue in our business. It doesn't necessarily have to be just relying on one platform
such as Etsy. So it's very, very clever and good business sense to kind of diversify as much as
possible. But the main focus is your main products. You're not diluting that in any shape or form,
just finding other ways to sell it.
Correct.
Amazing. So another important thing about your business, you know, we wear all these
different hats, you know, and as I said, I say many times like you're the finance person,
you're the marketing person, you're the doing maintenance, you know, shipping, all those things.
But marketing is one of those key aspects. So I had an opportunity a few weeks to go to be,
have an interview in a woman's magazine based in the UK and it was all about friendships,
kind of unlikely friendships. And I saw this request from a journalist and I thought,
do you know what, that'd be a fantastic opportunity to highlight our friendship
that we've built up kind of across the globe. And the journalist absolutely loved it. She
read the article back to me the other day. It is so good. And your name's mentioned in there and
your photo. Oh, it's brilliant. Absolutely good. And that comes out the 23rd of July. So as soon
as it's printed, I'm going to go out and buy one and I'm going to stick it straight in the post to
send to you so you can see it.
So excited.
And all these little things really, really help build up your business, you know,
to reach more people. Sometimes we can get a little bit caught up in thinking nobody sees
our stuff, but it does require a little bit of kind of work from our side as well, you know,
to put yourself out there, let your friends and family know what you do. So many people get a
little bit shy about sharing what they do online. So no, you've got to share and tell everybody,
you know, I'm SJHC Queen, Angela's crayon queen. I mean, go like, we've got big goals,
haven't we, Angela? We're millionaires. We're millionaires. That is our aim. We are both like,
woohoo, we're going to meet up. I had a dream that actually we did go to Hawaii and we met
your daughter and that, yeah. And I was saying to Annabel, my daughter, she was like, oh my god,
I'm coming too. And I was like, yes, let's just all go to Hawaii. Your daughter's going to be like,
oh my god, what's happening here? Yes, I cannot wait to go. That's always been on my bucket list.
So can't wait to go. So everybody who's listening, Angela's daughter is in the services and has been
based in Hawaii. I mean, not a bad place to be based as your first proper assignment. How is
she getting on? She's adjusting. She's been there. She's on week two. So she's adjusting.
But I just told her, I was like, you're going to love it because I love it and you're going to
love it. You have to love it, right? Yeah. But you know, I said, you're there for three years. So
you got to love it and make the best of it. Phenomenal. I mean, but how old is she now? 20?
She's 18. Oh, she's not even 18. Oh, wow. What an experience to have 18. Yeah. I'm so jealous.
She joined the Marines when she was 17. She turned 18 during boot camp. So she graduated high school
early. She was just a phenomenal. I mean, all my kids are phenomenal. They all have their different
paths. But just her, she's just like her mother. She never gives up. She just keeps going.
And I see a lot of me in her. So yeah. What do your children think of what you do?
You know, my children only pay attention to what I do. I think it's because I've done it for so long.
Like a lot of people are like, because my youngest is six now, but you know, they've never touched
any of my stuff. And I think it's just because it's always been around them. And they know
that it's my work. And so I really, they just, they don't pay me no mind.
See, my kids are the same. Oh, I was on a radio station today talking to BBC journalists. All
right. Yeah, great. Exactly. Oh, that is epic. Oh, yeah, whatever. Oh, my God, my friends at
school found your TikTok. I'm like, oh, what did they say? They actually quite liked it. I was like,
yes. Yeah. I'm not that embarrassed. So cool. Yeah, exactly. They always take the mickey out
for me because I say, oh, back in the day, you know, when we used to do this, this and this,
and they're like, back in the day, you know, dinosaurs were around. I don't know about you,
but I don't actually feel that old. But my kids make me feel old now. Yes. Not with the latest
trends or even the language and words they use. I don't know what it's like in the States, but
they've got this whole lingo and I don't get it. I don't know. Yeah. I need, I need a cheat sheet
for that lingo. Yes. Yeah. I tried saying some of the words the other day and I kid you not,
they literally wet themselves. They're like, oh my God, please don't ever say that in public. Please
don't ever. I'm like, what's wrong with blah, blah, blah. No. I literally had no idea what I was saying,
but they found it very hilarious. Anyway, so where can people find you on the internet if they
want to purchase your goods or come and connect with you? Where's the best place to find you?

Isn't that cool? Did you make it yourself? No, I actually, a lady on TikTok that I've been following,
who I've been talking to about you, she made these shirts for me. I was like, hey,
I really need some business shirts. I know I work from home, but I really need some business shirts.
You have to get your car graphicked up next, maybe, if you haven't done so already.
No, I haven't. I haven't. Oh, no, you don't. Go to the post office. That's it.
Amazing. Oh, well, Angela, I absolutely love you. I think you're a phenomenal lady. I think we are
going to know each other until the day that we die. I don't mean that in a morbid way. I mean that
in the most loveliest way. And we are going to Hawaii. We're going to get that bucket list and
we are going to smash it and all the other goals in it. Because I think I see a lot of you and me,
