If I named the Blog post how life was going it would have been “I am not okay, I’m barely getting by” because Jelly Roll said it best, but I chose a more uplifting title instead 😬
I know it’s been a month of Sunday’s since I have been active. Life hit and it hit me really hard and I just didn’t have any time to make anything but survivin’ happen. I have struggled hard for months to keep my head above water. Many different things hit me back to back or all at once and I just did not have the time or energy to do anything. I know many of you are probably thinking “yeah right”, and that’s okay (I guess). You are, after all, entitled to your own opinion & we all know what opinions are like 😬
I had a lot of things to deal with emotionally and physically all while still being a mom and working a full time job. My life has finally eased up a little bit to where I am not constantly burning the candle at both ends or worrying about everything and I have “some” time to do my thing.
Unfortunately, now that I have time to do things my printer is throwing a fit and has been for weeks, {make that months}. I have spent 48 hours over the last two weeks, (make that waaay more since originally starting to type this out last month) trying to get it back up and running and I am still at square one. I promise y’all when I say it isn’t for lack of effort, it never is.
I am hoping and praying today is the day I get it figured out (it wasn’t 😅, I started typing this last month and it’s still not fixed). If not, I may just toss it and buy another one. Of course with the price range running around $250 to replace the printer and ink, I am trying to make that my very last option. Scratch that previous sentence, I’ve now purchased new ink, wasted 80+ sheets to purge the printer & all my colors are back to normal MINUS the one that was originally giving me hell to begin with 🤬🤬🤬 I’m done getting frustrated, wasting my time and I’m running out of ideas on what the problem could be. So, I’m buying a new one & hopefully that will fix it! If not. Idk what I will do. Either way. Fall is my favorite time of year (next to summer). I just love decorating for fall {which I haven’t done outside yet because…life…and to be honest probably won’t other than our jack o’ lanterns}. Pumpkins, ghosts, & witches are my fav along with so many other fall things. So, this is my post to let you know I have some fall things on my site that I had planned before the epic fail of my printer (and this crazy thing called life) and I am adding them so y’all can shop what I do have! Otherwise my printer may cause me to miss out on fall all together this year! I know I already missed the boat but it’s (now closer to the end ) of October baby, and this witch isn’t done brewing up her shit. Also, Any sub items, are on hold unless they are ready to ship. I still plan on offering them (license plates, Bags, tees etc) but the website will update to show only items RTS.
I spent many days messing with my printer and tricked it into printing black and white correctly 🤣😭 but the one color I am missing, is still not fixed. I know in my last post I had said I was aiming for posting more 🫣😬😫 and well you seen how great that went. Going forward I will try and be more transparent and let y’all know when life gets crazy during the process, instead of going silent while I’m struggling and waiting until afterwards to let you know “hey life is killing me right now & I’m barely hanging on” 💕
Ps. For those of you still hangin around and being patient while I have been absent THANK YOU 😘🥰 I will try and do better going forward. If you just can’t handle the hit and miss my life has been lately (join the club, I can’t either) but I totally understand if you’d rather go elsewhere. As always, much much love & hope {boy do we all need that}
Here’s a pic to show some of what I’ve been dealing with but it really doesn’t do the amount of hours I’ve put into fixing it justice. There’s hundreds of sheets of papers, lots of bags, wasted ink, time and money and half my sanity there 🤪 Pss. To the sweet woman who placed this order, please know this is not you’re fault and I appreciate you more than words. God has a plan for this. I just am not sure what it is just yet! There is always a reason to the why 💕
