A LITTLE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY BUSINESS AND LIFE:
What to write? That is the question. I have no idea what to write to you, %contact.first_name%, today. What would you like to hear about? I would love to hear from you. Please reply to this email to let me know. Are you into Printables or Digital Planners or both? Is there a specific subject you would like to hear about?
Hi, %contact.first_name%, I worked really hard all day yesterday. I was having trouble with my project for Ruthie’s bundle. Thankfully that was corrected today. I had downloaded an add-on and it was acting up. I did research looking for kindness quotes. Boy that was hard as even though they said they were public domain, the people that had said the quote were from modern day. Nope, not going to happen. So I started looking for different phrases of kindness and finally found 13 of them to go in the journal. I think it came out pretty cool. After finding the quotes and putting them in the journal, PowerPoint didn’t want to save it for me. It kept saying I didn’t have permissions to save it no matter where I tried to save it. So I tried saving it as a PDF….nope, that didn’t happen. So I tried saving the coloring pages as jpgs…nope that wasn’t going to happen either. I looked at the dropdown menu for saving to see if I could save it as anything else. I noticed an older version of PowerPoint and tried to save it as that…..nope, again. Finally, I did screenshots of each of the coloring pages. I shut down PowerPoint and turned it back on. I deleted the add-on quite a few times but it is still there. I will have to continue to tell PowerPoint to turn it off until I can get it gone. After turning it back on, I re-typed the coloring pages and was finally able to save it. All because I went to Microsoft Office 2021 and back again to Microsoft Office 2019. I need to get the information from my Outlook 2019 so that I can change back to 2021 and maybe all of my problems will be gone.;
Sorry for the rant. LOL I just needed to get it off my chest. Don’t get me wrong. I love Microsoft Office and really do want to upgrade it once I get the information off of the old version. Silly me, I thought that I just upgrade and all of my information would still be there all nice and pretty. I have put in too much work creating my filing system on outlook for all of my emails to lose it and go back to recreate it again. Wish me luck.
OK, time for me to list the Kindness journal on my website and get the opt-in page done so that I can send the form in to Ruthie. May your day go a lot better than mine did. If not, may you weather the storm and come out on the other end in good shape.
If you are looking to start contributing to bundle, giveaways, and events look for the newly updated workshop taught by Christina of Beautiful Journals and Planners being released again on March 14th. I took this course and learned a lot. I kept waiting for it to be given again to help others and it is finally coming. If you missed it the first time, here is your chance to start building your email list and build your income. Also, if you were in the class with me, we are grandfathered into the new one.
OK, that it it for today. Hope ya’ll are having a wonderful day out there.
REMINDER!!!!!

Check out the free gifts from Creative Fabrica every day. You might be surprised at what may pop up.
NEW If you are into t-shirt designs, you will find quite a few of them in the free section of Creative Fabrica. Remember to change them so that yours will be different. You don’t want yours looking like everyone else’s design. You will also find craft patterns on there if that is your niche.
There are more seamless patterns and graphics available on Creative Fabrica for free. Just search for St Patrick Freebie, Easter Freebie, etc. and you will get all of them. If you want something else, just type in the search term with Freebie and you will see what is available for free without a subscription.
I have a subscription to Creative Fabrica and can download as many of the graphics on their site free. I get an idea, I run to Creative Fabrica to see if I can find graphics to make my new creations. It is so great. You might want to get a subscription if you need lots of graphics.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
What are you working on? Above, you will find some freebies that you can use to create your products. There are seamless patterns for you to use as covers for your products. Remember, always modify the images so that they are different from what someone else might create with the same pattern. Make your cover stand out and let people know you are different.
Mix and match the coloring pages, color by number, dot to dot, and word search to create your own coloring book. Add something to them to make them your own so you won’t be creating the same coloring book as everyone else.
Create a mug or greeting cards to put in your store. You might create these to give to special people in your life. See below in MISCELLANEOUS to find the links to the templates for you.
I want you to keep on working and growing your business. Let me know your accomplishments and what you are working on.
If you need to talk or get some help of some sort, I am here and will help you in any way that I can. If it is something I don’t know yet, I will refer you to someone I know who does have that information. We are all here to help each other to achieve success.
Hope you are having a wonderful, productive day. Get lots of products created or training done.
