i wish i could have a new video from you everyday, I love to watch your videos while working

[@stormadh721]

I do the same thing

[@Throw4Fun]

I’m the same way!

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so amazing, I love your videos ☺☺

[@hollyheuver377]

$6 shipping sounds really good to me. You should see the prices in Canada! It's cheaper for me to ship to the US rather than to Eastern Canada.

[@elizapowell7262]

Ooohi have an idea! After your bridal shower, you can make fabric flowers with stems and sell them at your markets in the pot stand 💐

[@beingemma]

So happy you love the goodies! Your happiness on the unboxing had me smiling and happy tearing all at the same time a sweet reminder of why I do what I do, so thank you. Magnetic bookmarks are game changers, and those are so cute. Also love the new book cover sleeve. Would they fit an iPad if you decided to launch them? I would totally buy one for my iPad which comes with me everywhere to draw. 🤣 I also feel you on the break. I recently took a Sunday and just did family time. It felt a little weird but also very nice to just be present, as I also purposely told my brain to not even think about my small business.

You might need a printer with WiFi instead of Bluetooth. My Munbyn also only does Bluetooth with my phone but I like that because sometimes my printer comes with me to markets if I need to print out some last minute price labels.

[@remithreadz1560]

Are there actual price tables for Thermal printers? Or... are you just creating your own templates? Thank you 😊

[@rachelelbeedee]

@@remithreadz1560 i create my own thru my shopify and print them with the thermal printer

[@rachelelbeedee]

@@remithreadz1560 i make price labels on shopify to coincide with my inventory... but im sure you can make your own orice label templates

[@49lucky]

Thanks to you'm now ordering from Maksy Scents. Oh there delicious.

[@southwooddesign]

Ok, I did start the first book and I GET IT😻

[@MistiPatrella]

Love your vibes and videos! :D

[@Dearestlittlehope]

So happy you loved your bookish goodies 💌

[@sheenabawo4683]

Hi Monica, I watch every single episode and I am always interested and look forward to seeing the next. ❤ By the way, I am watching from Papua New Guinea. Check the map to find where Papua New Guinea is located. If I lived in Hoboken I will definitely meet you at your pop up markets. Always you have been my greatest inspiration to start my scrunchie sewing and selling. Still trying to do a proper pop up market though 😂 . Wishing you many blessings for your future and your wedding. Proud that you sewed your own wedding dress. Congratulations 🎉🎉❤

[@49lucky]

I made my own magnetic book marks years ago😅😅😅

[@remithreadz1560]

Monica, are you doing this event: Garden State Art Weekend? If so, will you be do8ng a video? I'm in PA and have been considering doing an event in Hoboken as it's about 75 miles from me. So, I love to watch your videos in Hoboken events ❤

[@Justcetriyaart]

wait, who is the one that made those knit bags? would love to follow them. I'm going to check out some of the scents as I want to try mini perfumes

[@bravezoom]

I'm making a special necklace out of 3 things do you have Pinterest...?

[@bravezoom]

pop-up shop is little bit like the Bazaar ??

[@jenniferlewis9864]

I have a feeling next week's video will be showing munbyn wireless lable printer lol

[@monicarazak]

literally as I was editing this video munbyn reached out to me asking if I want to try their airprint thermal printer!!!

[@rachelbond3942]

One Day wrecked me.

[@monicarazak]

omg I had NO IDEA about the ending. I was in such a bad mood the rest of the night lol

[@rachelbond3942]

@@monicarazak same! I cried real tears. Completely caught me off guard
