I can’t believe you write out “cat cafe bookshop” 400 times on the thank you cards 😮 Maybe make a sticker or stamp. Or print custom cards with it already filled out. My hand started cramping up just watching you 😅

[@SparkleShan]

Was thinking the same thing lol. Names yes, the whole title ehhhh lol

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Wild I know 😅🤪

[@mcdonuts2017]

You should make a bookshop/library wall calendar 😍

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Ahhhhh that would be so cute!!! 👀🩷

[@lynda9900]

We have a cat cafe here where I live in the UK. The cats have all been adopted by the cafe owners. You book a morning or afternoon tea, and you get to spend time with the fur babies. They have their own area, with toys, scratch posts and snuggly beds. Many just sit in the shop window watching the world go by. And of course enjoying all the attention. Thanks for your uplifting videos❤

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Oh my gosh, that sounds like those kitties are living their very best lives! I love that so much. That just made me so happy 🥹

[@Paperinparadise]

Emily I get so excited to see a new video of you. I have a question or rather something that you may want to answer for another q&a or maybe a video but you get so many orders, my question is how in the world do you manage to get through so many alone? Like do you have a specific way you organize orders to be so efficient? You are amazing to be able to do so much on your own. I would be so overwhelmed and not know where to start first! PS loved the new romance bookmarks especially the one of you and Chris as cats

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’m so happy you get so excited for the videos!! ☺️ and really I just go in the order that they were received and over the years I’ve figured out a ballpark number of about how many I can do in a day and I aim for that each day! ☺️

[@balletmeli]

❤ flipbook ideas book and coffee book. I am glad you are getting help as needed 🎉. I have a similar phone stand, but I use it for my IPad . ☺️ romance collection especially the last bookmark 🫶

[@ceciliaperales8466]

I love that you got a helper . It's hard trying to do everything yourself. 💕

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

It definitely is that’s for sure!

[@bubblyNbright]

Love your videos Emily! You are such an inspiration to me and my business!! ❤❤❤

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Awww I’m so happy to hear that and that I’m able to help get you motivated!! 🥰🩷

[@brittneyporterfield9000]

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Thank you for the warm welcome! ☺️🩷

[@gaylepuou7214]

I love it! I'm excited for you!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Thank youuuu ☺️

[@shirleyf21916]

Emily! it's so great to see you get excited about the new changes coming in your shop and your wedding!! you are just beaming with happiness 😍 i love the idea about making the book! I imagined a book where cats travel all over and visit new bookstores, like seeing it through their eyes 😊 anyway just wanted to share that!! Thank you for all that you do!!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Oh my goshhhh that idea is ADORABLE 😭🥹

[@bloowabbit6414]

Excellent idea, having the printing reduced...love the you-and-Chris puddytats ❤🩷

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Hehe why thank you!! 🩷

[@mindfulpapers758]

I love your creativity 😍

[@ChantelleArts]

This is brilliant, I love your videos ☺☺

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’m so happy you enjoy them! Thanks for being here ☺️🩷

[@lisavaniderstine6212]

Thank you for posting! I look forward to it.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Of course!! ☺️🩷

[@Tks19962]

you draw such cute and happy designs ❤ so happy to see you packing orders. I saw on your instagram story hope you’re doing fine stay strong and take care of yourself and your family 🧿

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Thank you so much! 🥹🩷

[@homebodyplanner]

I am super excited when you release your stickers. I want to make a reading journal full of your sticker designs and washi!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Awww I would love to see pictures of that when you do! 😍🩷

[@alishacostanzo2689]

I LOVED Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. They were my binge read over the new year. 🎆

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Omg yassss they’re SO GOOD! I can’t get enough of that series 😍

[@TanyaBautista-cu8yh]

Would live a video of you making your beautiful book sleeves!

[@hehasrizenful]

Oh my gosh Emily, I heard the song on Instagram the one you posted is absolutely beautiful And of course I always like hearing about your lunches and just enjoy your channel Looking forward to the new planners

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Isn’t it such a pretty song!?! I fell in love with it when I first heard it 🥹

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

I had to pause and rewind to see what book you mentioned that was 28 HOURS and 16 MINUTES long! I absolutely LOVE long books. So of course I ran to Audible and used 1 of my credits . So tomorrow when I go to my craft studio I will start listening to it. Thanks for the recommendation.😊

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

YASSSS!!! Long books for the win! Omg I swear there’s no better feeling than starting a new long book and knowing you have so much story waiting for you!!! 😍

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

I’m finally reading Throne of Glass series and I think I like it even better than ACOTAR or Fourth Wing.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I got a few books into that series and it didn’t click with me for some reason 😞 but I’ve definitely heard of a lot of people loving it!

[@GynneJ]

I saw a video on Facebook about a cat bookstore and I thought of you 😊 just got my monthly bookmark and sticker clubs in the mail and it makes me so happy! Yes please to book reviews!! Also I need to hear your thoughts on Iron Flame. I don’t have anyone else to chat with who has read it so I would love to hear all your theories and reactions. Fourth Wing reignited my passion for reading and I agree there is just something so special about it. Please make some dragon bookmarks!! I would love to see your interpretation of of Tairn and Andrarna.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Ahhhhh one of these days I will visit a cat bookstore 🐱 And oh my gosh that book, the ending was WILD. Definitely NOT the direction I thought it was going to go and I’m still honestly left speechless and worried (VERY worried) about our man xaden 😅🫠

[@SparkleShan]

Listened to the audio book for iron flame ( more time during my commute vs reading) on your recommendation after fourth wing and love the series. Thank you for the great series recommendation

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Ahhh YAY!! I’m so happy you loved it! 🥰

[@DuluthTW]

You just bought a bunch of printer cartridges. I hope the new sticker sheet vendor is affordable and you'll still be able to use all those printer cartridges. It seems you are feeling better from the stress injury on your left side. That's great. Thanks for sharing!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Yes I use those for the magnetic bookmarks! ☺️ and thankfully the sticker sheet manufacturer is seeming to be more affordable than me doing them on my own so that’s a big plus!!

[@its_just_iman612]

I think you should do all of those books that you want to do just do it why not if that what you really what to do then just do it

[@juliebuxton5220]

I can’t wait for your romance launch! And I would LOVE a book with all of your bookshops, libraries, festivals in it. I would be fun if you could offer all the bookshop (or library, festival tickets, library cards) stickers in a pack. My goal is to have one of each. I guess I should start shopping!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Ohhhh that could definitely make for a very fun pack of stickers! I like that idea 🥰

[@sophieamaral8807]

You are amazing, love your vlogs. Thank you for the book recommendation, I wasn't aware of Rebecca Yarros books, The Empyrean, it looks amazing

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I hope you enjoy it!! It’s such an amazing series 🥰🩷

[@pilarbarrionuevo]

You could wear headphones and that way we can listen to the packing. Just an idea.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I like headphones but I’m not a fan of wearing them for long periods of time. I have sensitive ears 🙈🥲

[@sonatawinchester5951]

Yes! Please do book recommendations. I need to hear about this series that’s even better than ACOTAR! I’ve learned loads from you about the bookish community. I’d never considered there might be something like Bookstergram! No one I know in RL likes fantasy, I’ve always been the weirdo there (I’m at peace with my weirdness now though). You seem to have very similar tastes in books though. 😊

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Hey we can be weird together! Fantasy is my FAVORITE! It just has to have romance in it too 😅🩷

[@lindouglass4115]

Very cute 😍

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@aprilh5186]

Hi Emily! For the reading log, do you recommend coloring it first (I will likely used colored pencils) and then filling in the book names or the other way around. I am thinking my words will smear for some reason if I do one before the other. Thanks!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Yes I’d recommend coloring first! ☺️

[@LiftedUpandLiving]

Hello Emily! Hope you are feeling better!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Hi hi!! I’m hanging in there ☺️ hope you’re doing well!

[@LiftedUpandLiving]

@@emilycromwelldesigns ❤️❤️❤️

[@amberwi5861]

Ok be honest, how many times a day do you catch yourself looking at your beautiful ring? I kept looking at it as you were packing the clubs. It’s so pretty.🩷

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Hahaha you got me! 🙈 honestly 100+ times 🥹💍

[@francheskaseijo9998]

I missed the kitty month club. 😢 But i love the kitties in love bookmark!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’ll be adding those January kitty bookmarks to my shop either end of March or early April! ☺️

[@paolamanucci4796]

💖

[@nphipps9406]

love you and your boyfriend as a cat under the moon sitting next to the tree

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Aww why thank you! 🥹

[@lisavaniderstine6212]

I missed you this week! I know you have a life but I wanted you to tell you I missed you.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I missed you guys too! 😭 next weeks video is a long one, 57 minutes! 🩷

[@Kissclinicstudio]

What's the pink bag on the table? It's cute

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

That’s my camera bag ☺️

[@ikindred]

Emily would you book sleeves be large enough for a tablet?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

It depends on the size! We list our three different book sleeve sizes on our website so you can compare to see which one would work best for you and your device ☺️

[@jandino01]

Would love to sew for you!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I post freelance seamstress availability on my instagram stories when we’re actively looking for seamstresses! So definitely keep an eye on there for future calls ☺️🩷🩷

[@clarise5945]

Do you use photoshop for designing

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I draw in procreate!

[@leahmiars5958]

As a quilter/sewist, I wish you designed fabric. There isn’t anything like your designs on the market. Your style screams Free Spirit fabric.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I can look into doing that! ☺️

[@Christina24life]

I could never listen to an audio book, I don’t have the attention span
