Leave the stickers around your city, in stores, libraries, etc

[@jenruthbailey]

This! Or go on a secret stickering mission around the neighbourhood.

[@MinaRoy]

To add to this, if you can stamp the backside with ink, I'd leave your website so people who like your sticker know where to find your work. If your website is too long, make it a QR code and add the text "follow me for more art" or such.

[@sxmplyblossom8048]

YES

[@lani1792]

My 2.5 year old loves watching for the cats in your videos. At the end of this one, he was waving and shouting ‘bye bye Pebber maow!’ So Pepper has a big fan.

[@cheyennebarton]

oh my god this is the cutest thing, thank you for this 😭

[@paohndz96]

YOUR VLOGS ARE A SAFE SPACEEE

[@jasminpastari]

You could make the stickers available as an optional free gift with every order (if that's possible) 😊

[@micaela.herrera]

Or even a mystery oops/b-grade bag?

[@cheyennebarton]

@@micaela.herrera i was playing with the idea of listing them for free in little packs of 5 or 10 ??

[@Woolblossom]

@@cheyennebarton That's what I was about to recommend!! I def understand how you feel about the design but I'm sure some ppl would absolutely still get them for free! :3

[@ytuseracct]

this is what I would recommend too, like freebies

[@Maya-lr2yb]

Or put them in orders, as a surprise! Not wasted, not sold, win win!@@cheyennebarton

[@etheraea]

Pepper just has so much love omg what a precious little chaotic fairy 🤧💖

[@dagnykristins]

I am the SAME with self-imposed commitments (they don't stick for long) but I'm on week 6 in the Artist's Way and I haven't missed a SINGLE DAY of morning pages!! This book is just wonderful for my ADHD. It feels like there's a benevolent mentor keeping an eye on me and making sure I'm doing my self care. I'm feeling unusually functional and like my life is changing in amazing ways that I never expected. I hope it does the same for you! 💜

[@battlereadybabe]

at 3:40, Sophie forgot to put her tongue back in so she was just looking around with a tiny pink tongue out and it was so stinking cute. what a mesmerizing experience

[@hopenitrous]

your vlogs are honestly so calming and A VIBE. please keep doing what you're doing lovely :)

[@hemsu]

I love clingy Pepper! And love your lil cro-Chey segments.

[@franciscalmr]

your vlogs always feel so comforting 💜 as a neurodivergent gurl I have been struggling a lot with getting things done & motivation as well. watching your vlog was all that I needed to finally get that motivation to start journaling - and it felt pretty good actually ☺️ pls do more of these vlogs! i love them

[@CaitlinSewsSometimes]

Moths are no joke! I got them in appartment this winter and I only just got rid of them, ugh. Highly recommend keeping fabric, yarn, etc in boxes, and clothes you're not wearing in vaccuum bags!

[@scullyva]

pepper's blep was the most adorable

[@nematarot7728]

No matter how infrequent, it’s always nice to see videos from you 🙏 especially with everything we have all been through over the past few years.

[@carrieanne5519]

I love that you're posting more regularly and it's lovely to see how you're doing within yourself Chey. I've been a fan for years and your videos are such a cosy vibe. I'm watching this at 10:30am and now I'm motivated to get things done. So thank you for creating amazing content, as always

[@PotchouDoodle]

Such a comforting vlog, love seeing you organizing. Your cats are so cute 😻. I can understand that leaving this place would be difficult, looks like such a nice home

[@tangledkelpp]

I've always been interested in crochet but was never brave enough to bite the bullet, and you are the reason I finally learned it in February, and now I am endlessly making projects! I just finished making a mushroom bucket hat and am now making little autumn themed trinkets

[@emmaw2972]

I can attest that The Artist's Way is dope. I completed the book and the challenges in 2021/2022 when I was feeling so lost. I was thinking about doing it again, and this video inspired me. :)

[@emmelinesprig489]

oh my god that colorway 😍😍😍 i’ve been pinning a bunch of projects featuring that “hand-painted” style of variegated yarn. i need a garment like this in my life

[@paperwattle9493]

ahh i'm so glad you posted today i have a whole weekend of very stressful exam preparation ahead of me and needed something nice to get me through it ♡ your videos always make me smile

[@YellowMelle]

This makes me want to go into nesting mode! Oh man, back when I was daydreaming about having an art studio, a major aspect was setting up a tech desk, where the printer and scanner could be, and everything can be plugged in and used without having to bend under things and dig around in the dark, and hold little gymnastic poses, so seeing you just plop a scanner down in the open was deeply satisfying. LOL! Small pleasures.

[@daisyescamilla3214]

Very excited for your clearance sale!! I did a huge order years ago so it's my sign to do that again :)))

[@MonsterMaker]

I think thorwing the stickers away is such a wast/not great for the environment as theres 1000 vinyl stickers. You could totally give them away as an optional freebie for people that want them when ordering from your shop. You could also donate them to local organisations who may want to give them out or sell for donations to help them fundraise.

[@naomipanter]

Love these vlogs. Have you ever done a video/blog about the KZbinrs you like to watch? I’d love to hear about that.

[@veronica3680]

babe wake up cheyenne posted, it’s time to have faith in the goodness of people again

[@Dr.LemonMan]

Getting a life together is rough stuff I'm working out some job stuff myself but we all gonna get through it Also I hear that Bernadette banner in the bg during the cooking bit I love her lol

[@KaosynsArt]

Why is Pepper such a baby??? I CAN'T 😭💘Thanks for the video!

[@RoseBobaTea]

Another wonderful video! It was so calming and gentle, just what I needed Edit: 11:09 this is such a sweet moment 🥺❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

You call your baby Pepperoni too!! Oh my gosh 😍😍😍

[@magicwendy210]

your cats are so cute and funny, always wanting to be around you, l especially liked when she head her head on your shoulder cuddling soooo cute, love your videos ☺

[@gingerblue]

I know the stickers feel like too obvious a statement, but I'm absolutely sure that there are tons of children's organizations that are dedicated to teaching equality and basic approaches to life in rural areas (saying that based on the overwhelming studies showing those are the pockets of the US where racism is still very much the norm), etc. that would love a donation of those stickers and can put them to good use with their handout materials. I know the design doesn't feel right, but for a six year old, that's the level of messaging they need to receive to start the conversation. Please don't let the desire for a stronger message prevent those stickers from being put to use- that basic message SHOULD be too "small" for the world right now, but unfortunately, for many kids, the concept of CHOOSING not being racist is something that they need to be told is available to them. Those stickers would b so perfect for that.

[@cheyennebarton]

oooooo this is an excellent idea...I'll do some research on local orgs! I didn't think of this as an option, thank you so much!

[@gingerblue]

@@cheyennebarton i am *so* happy to hear it!

[@kevinsmith5360]

Hey girl! I live in a rural area and no one here is racist. If you'd ever like to visit a rural area and not just rely on studies from people who probably don't live in rural areas you might find that out too! Much love to you, Ginger Blue!

[@gingerblue]

@@kevinsmith5360 I lived in one for 22 years and it absolutely got worse as time went on. Let's not do this.The facts are facts. I'm glad your rural area was absolutely unique in that regard and I hope more follow suit, but after the last decade of absolute sh*t in America, I am NOT playing games and going to just sit back and pretend that racism is NOT an issue in certain pockets of the US. Also, don't assume that anyone is a "girl"- I identify as she/her, but you have no idea of what my pronouns are. The fact that you start with "hey, girl" when you don't know me, my pronouns, or my age, says all I need to know about your take on things.

[@BluePetals22]

@@kevinsmith5360i live in the most liberal city in the us and racism is very real there so i don’t believe this at all lol

[@daliamartinez1565]

Your videos fill my little cottagecore heart with great joy, I NEED to see crochet with me videos because I already do that with your normal vlogs. Much love and glad to see you're doing okay!

[@charliewithachance]

You could always add the don't be racist stickers as freebies so at least some of them get used, and this may sound completely ridiculous, but I used all my extra unused stickers to make soccer balls. You can ball up thin plastics that you can recycled and used the stickers as adhesive, I have an ongoing ball on my desk for scraps and once they get big enough, I make skins for them with scrap fabric and leather. It sounds dumb, but it's actually really satisfying to see the ball build up, and at least you know what it's being used for lol, other wise you can use them as tape for scrapbook projects as well, I've cut some misprinted shipping labels into strips and used them to hang up posters and stuff. Excited to see the next vlog!!

[@aimeecreative]

Love that you get as happy as I get when it’s dark and rainy..except I’m in Florida and it’s not as often as you have it! 😅

[@nahircavaleri98]

Hey Cheyenne! Have you ever thought of designing phone cases with your illustrations? I feel like they would turn out so cute!

[@satopin7770]

loved the japanese "GAMBARIMASU"!! hehe

[@sxmplyblossom8048]

Loved the video! Glad your doing good :) Love you!

[@Summer_and_Rain]

I have just freaking started watching the video and my brain went from "oh nice. a swedish flag. We have the danish version of that out on the table for birthdays." to "OOOHHH! this is actually making me want to finally deal with my kitchen!". .... so thank you

[@MeganWangart]

another gorgeous video :')

[@martinsw4711]

I recently made a shawl with the cotton ripple Caron cake and it’s sooo lovely. It’s all cotton so a bit denser but if they still have it near you I absolutely recommend

[@sn00gums]

Always joyful when you upload. It’s such a treat! ❤

omg that desk mat at 20:17 is amazing!!

Hey Cheyenne, You seem so happy and grounded. I'm really happy for you. I know you are working hard and I think you are doing great! You've come a long way baby! I love and adore your black kitties too. TFS ❤ PS what will you make with the airdry clay?

[@krystingates2474]

i was just watching an older video when i saw this uploaded! 😁

Awesome video! So happy that you're back

[@veggiebed]

pepper is such a little goof!! i totally related to ur face when she was rubbing back and forth in front of u trying to write at one point haha, my cat is the same way. hearing how well ur morning pages are going makes me wanna try, some structure to my mornings would probably help me a lot.

[@raven_zoe]

you pulling out the sriracha bottle made me wanna cry, haven't been able to find any for months and months :(

[@MonsterMaker]

Thank you as always for sharing your vlogs and snippets of your life with us x I had to smile when you said you were going to Michaels... Because its a lie I tell myself too haha

ahhhh i can't wait to spend all my dollars on ur clearance sale!! as always, the coziest vibes~ 💓

AH i hope youre enjoying ace attorney!!! ive just finished Apollo Justice, they are SUCH good games they make me feel a little crazy!! this was such a good vlog :)

oh it's my maybe 3rd time playing through them!! APOLLO JUSTICE IS MY FAVE ONE apollo is my precious little darling and i will protect him at all costs. also, klapollo is my fave ship next to wrightworth, obvs :')

[@piierrote4464]

Your cats are the best therapy. But Pepper has my heart. I love my cats to death but neither are that loving and that’s what I need in my life!

[@CelilasArt]

thank you so much for sharing! this was beautiful! 💕

[@geeklette99]

If you're struggling to read The Artist's Way (ADHD and Dyslexia run STRONG in my family, so I get it 😫) It also has an audiobook!

[@MonsterMaker]

omg thank you - Ive seen a few people talking about reading the Artist Way in their vlogs and made me want to give it a try, but I honestly can't make myself read a book unless its mandatory for uni or work.

[@ChantelleArts]

my hair is like the same colour right now 😮 I keep going back to pink hair, it's so fun and cute ❤

[@maxonrylee]

You’re hair is so cute✨

[@hystdd]

tbf you could even just give the stickers out to charities or somehting around your areas?

[@grimflwr]

omg another smarties lover, ive never met anyone else who appreciates them the way that i do XD

[@bblushes]

this was *such* a joy to watch!!! ^u^

[@Av0cadoQueen]

I ALWAYS wanted to know how to crochet sweaters, but I always got confused with arms. You just totally made it make sense!! thanks! =D=D I work on my Amigurumi while watching your vids :D Super fun!

[@charmedvenuss]

Thats so interesting that you're doing the artist way, i also starting listening to the audiobook recently and the morning pages are what im not doing lol that demand avoidance says NOPE if its non negotiable??? im never doing it lol but the Artist Dates, and fitting those to my own writing practice etc, once a week has been SO nice to just like sit and make time for my creativity and to grab inspiration

[@gatina7713]

Pepper is absolutely in love with you 🥰🥰🥰 I had my Luly 🐈‍⬛ she too love me for me, she was my assistant. I stil miss her. I enjoy watching your blogs especially when Pepper is around you.

[@gianninamoreau2920]

Fun fact I recently learned: cats tend to sit or walk directly over what you’re working on because they want to be apart of what you’re doing lol.

[@taru.00]

This is so cute! Reminds me of this girl whose cat would always lay on her laptop while she worked and she made her cat a fake one so they could both use their own laptops together!

i feel like peanut m&ms are such a dad snack, they're also my dad's favorite

[@lemondayplanning]

Montmartre products often wind up at Winners in Canada, which I think is TJ Maxx or TK Maxx in the States?

[@Mkr7942]

Hey there Cheyenne! I have been following your vlogs from the good old days of bullet journalling. If you don't wan't to sell them, I am sure people would still want them, and if you/ they have an issue with the message, you could just cut the message off and still use the design which I, btw, love.

[@apridotstudios]

Sophie in the corner ahhhh 😍

Also I freaking love smarties too, especially the giant ones! 😅

Hi! For the stickers you don´t wanna sell anymore maybe you can put all of them in a canvas and paint with acrylics over them to make them mean something else for you. Its just an idea. Love your content

[@JuVentura]

Give the stickers as freebies

[@chrystel_rip]

Be careful with yarn in enclosed containers. You could end up with mold!

[@cheyennebarton]

i’m making sure there’s not an ounce of moisture in there!! and mold is less scary to me than getting moths in my stash actually 😅

[@chrystel_rip]

Totally fair! @@cheyennebarton

[@ourabouras]

Personally I’d say you could add a free “Don’t be Racist” sticker in each order, that way you you can probably disperse 1/2 to 2/3 of those to your chill followers all over the country, and not add to the landfill😁 Also, I’ve been looking for a cute dish to place my “business card” stickers and I found these cute Studio Ghibli themed dishes on Pinterest, and now I think I’ll watch you friend’s video and make my own😉 Also also, as the one random Californian who loves it when it rains (cause drought just isn’t a cute look) I appreciate a fellow rainy day girlie😁

[@akirin1128]

はい、今日もがんばれ～！ME GANNBARU~ TOO !! l LOVE YOU!

[@Fauxbutch]

The artists way definitely helped me through an art rut but I definitely think it has its problems and limits. There were a lot of moments for me throughout the book that felt patronizing and tbh very classist….if you want a better suggestion I’d check out Rick Rubins “the creative act.” I listened to the audio book in 2 days it was amazing. It has more of a Buddhist perspective whereas I found something about Julia Cameron to be very condescending lol

[@cheyennebarton]

oh yeah, i’m definitely taking some of the writing with a big old grain of salt!! there’s some stuff where i’m like “hmmmmMMMM. really julia? there’s not another angle to this you might wanna consider?” but!! a lot of it has helped me, so i’m trying to pull the good out of the lessons

[@cheyennebarton]

and ty for the recommendation!!!

[@neulasia]

i like martha beck's work. she's in the same realm sort of but much more on my wavelength. magic but down to earth, or something, and humorous.
