Hi everyone! In today’s video we are in major organization mode! My holiday break is almost over and I needed to dedicate a few days to being in the studio so I could unbox some deliveries, organize and move things around, and decide what bookmark and sticker designs I want to retire this year. This is a long one but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless! Thanks for watching!! :)
Happy reading! :)

Thank you Emily for taking us along on your days and explaining a little bit more of your illness. The video was not boring at all. It was a pleasure. Can’t wait to see what you have for us this year.❤

@@emilycromwelldesignsglad to have you back making videos, I’m soo sorry for your injuries. Hope you are doing better. So have you ever thought of doing a faith based image with the books of the Bible? I think it might be something some folks maybe interested in, at least I would be. Maybe sell something small or do a poll and see what your customers would think especially with Passover around the corner you may make some sales on it, if you do, I will definitely place an order. Have a blessed day and may God continue to bless you on your journey! If you ever need a volunteer to help especially during your busy season I can come volunteer in exchange for some of your products 😁😇❤️

I hope you heal quickly and the pain isn’t too bad. I’m so sorry you’ve injured yourself. Bookshopping is an extreme sport, y’know! 😅 So, I had to stop this video 17 mins in to gush over your stock storage. I’m at the stage of trying to think of magic Tardis-y ways to store all my stock (lots of bulky t-shirts and sweatshirts), and the way your bookmarks fit SO perfectly in those drawers is sooo Tetris. Very satisfying. 😊

Your business is bursting at the seams. That's great. I love all the bookmark and sticker designs you are discontinuing. It had to be difficult to pull those out. Have you thought of donating some to a reading program in your community? Maybe there's a school nearby that could use them. That would give you a tax write-off at least. I hope you heal faster than expected. Thanks for sharing!

I really love these vlogs where you're just talking to us and explaining things, it's so interesting to hear about your life and thoughts and I just wanna say, I too am a disabled artist. I have sickle cell anemia and a lot of the things I go through are super similar to yours. There's not a single day where I don't experience some type of pain, it doesn't matter if it's mild (which thankfully its been mild for a few years now) it's still pain nevertheless and if I exert myself too much with drawing or just doing daily activities I'm just dead the next day. Even just showering and washing my hair makes me tired and out of breath so I can definitely relate to some of the things you say.

@emilycromwelldesigns 6 ай бұрын

I have watched every season of Vanderpump rules, and it is pretty freaking crazy. I also am a huge real housewives fan. I started watching the real housewives of Orange County when it first came out, and I have watched every season of that, as well as every season of the real housewives of Beverly Hills… But I haven’t kept up on any other housewives franchise Currently. I think I’ve seen parts of random episodes from Atlanta and New York… But the only two that really interest me are Beverly Hills and Orange County. I am kind of old though, so I’m used to the OG reality shows that started with Laguna Beach back in the day on MTV. I’m just a sucker for them.
