I’ll just be sitting over here laughing. You want to know why? I know someone is going to start reading the post, get to the list, and leave an angry comment on the blog or social media. It happens every year. 🤣
Also, my younger kids filled the Keurig coffee maker with lemonade this morning. Oh, it’s going to be a long day.

I am making some white window cling decals. I sell them at Dogs show events and would like them to show up better on my rack. I looked at buying some colored wax paper to back them with...any better ideas? They don’t show up well in the original backing.

Hi Sue! I'd think that a large poster frame with a solid background would work well. Just place a sample of each window decal with the price on the outside, then have the actual decals under the table or in a basket near the display. Hope that helps!

I love your advic, I'm forgiving for your April fools! I really though this was a legit way to make that much money. I even talked my husband into the initial investment. Lucky he's a good sport. I usually am the queen of April Fools LOL

LOL! Too funny! Funny story: a reader browsing Pinterest called me a fraud because she didn't realize this was an April Fool's joke! :)

I have only been monogramming for a month. I have done a few thing here and there, but I don't know where to start as far as commercial with licenses I am aware about NFL stuff but a lot of these sites want to charge 2 dollars for commercial per use of the design I have a Silhouette do I buy them commercially on as needed basis. I am lost on what to do

Hi Donice! Invest in a good monogram font for commercial use, then design and sell as you please. Hope that helps!
