F L I M - F L A M - F O Y E R

I’m dusting off this old place because I miss finding community online the way we used to.

I deleted my accounts on Twitter long ago, and my TikTok account more recently.

But maybe it’s a similar hellscape here, too.

I am a college student, who makes money on the side by selling my own prints, shirts, buttons, and stickers through Storenvy.  Here is why I don’t like those websites where they print your items for you and ship them out while giving you a small percentage. My personal experience is with INPRNT but I am not sure about Society6.

They pay you once a month, but if you haven’t earned at least $100 yourself  they won’t give you any at all.  What happened to me was I set up a shop because i wanted to sell iphone cases, a few people bought some and they paid $35 for theirs. Of that $35 I recieved $5. That $5 goes in a little bank under your name until you make $100 yourself, not counting the money they made off you.  I didn’t know this until after I had already sold items, so I got angry and took all my items down because I couldn’t find an option for deleting my account. Overall it was very frustrating. 

I would have rather ordered my own phone cases through websites like StickerApp , or pins from buttonlab, that way I have the entire stock and can package them myself! I print my own 8x11 prints on heavy card stock, so I go to Michaels or Hobby lobby and look for the thickest white card stock they have and I just print with my own Epson printer.  I print large prints through shortrunposters.com  and I package everything myself.  

I just feel like printing and selling everything yourself is a lot more personal and rewarding. I like the ability to actually interact with my customers and I throw in some extra stickers and hand written notes too!

Those websites sound good at first because you are making money without having to do anything, but I think if people are willing to pay that much for your art, they deserve some personalization and love instead of manufactured prints that the artist hasn’t even signed.

But I better heat it up first. Much yummier that way.

However one thing that saddens me is the fact that no one has noticed you have to pretty much stand on top of an actual well to use the microwave.

I’m sorry?

That’s a challenge.

Oreos aquired.

I’m going to hide them in a super simple place at first

And find a new hiding spot

Hehehe

Now to hide them right under her nose

Aaaaand put them where she would never find them in a million years

:)

You get some cookies! You get some cookies! Everyone gets cookies!

Then a devious idea struck me…

I put the remaining Oreos in a baggie to hide by themselves. Now to “hide” the package where it will probably be found…

And pin the actual stash to the inside of the closet wall

Look at that. So sad. So few Oreos left

Guess I’ll just pin em right to the middle of the wall in the middle of the living room. She’ll never find em there

Oh, guess I should put this back up

Bwa ha ha ha! You guys! You guys don’t understand! I was planning on doing this and when I got home and looked at it I was like “aww, it’s too thin. They won’t fit.” I even TOLD my wife this and how I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to hide them back there.

But then I looked again. They dooooo

Thank you all so much for the love. I knew y'all would like this, but I had no idea you would like it THIS MUCH. People calling us “goals” and stuff… Man…. It’s kinda hard to take in ya know? Anyways: if this post gets Over 9000™ before I get off work today I will pick up Halloween Oreos on my way home and this will not stop

And, as promised, a dopey grin

She is so happy that the Oreo Saga continues. Just look at how happy she is

But she never looked inside the blue chair

Good stuff, but it’s time for some cookies

Gotta have some while I think about where these guys are going next

Hmmmmm

Got it.

Wife and I were sewing Elly’s Halloween costume up

Yea, she is going to be a spider and it’s super cute and all but. But. Loooook

Holy actual shit the Oreos fell out from the table literally next to her.

The moment she got up I threw them into the closet

Also:shout out to whoever it was that lost a follower for this post
