March Update Blogpost 🌼 (Patreon)

Hello, my lovely friends!

Welcome to this month's Update blog post!

Oh, it´s been a month! Full of designing, making, and receiving new products!And again I realize that that´s what I enjoy the most when running my business - working on my shop. And that I´ve made the right decision with focusing more on it this year. (hopefully, the update will be a success too so that it's not "for nothing" haha)

So firstly there is a new YouTube Video up on my Channel, I forgot to share it here so here´s the link to it:https://youtu.be/YrOUQbchBZM 

Then unfortunately the Patreon Mail Stickers still haven´t arrived yet so I couldn´t pack them up today to send them. I really hope they will arrive next week as I´m already waiting 3 weeks for them... Very sorry for that! It´s the first time for me outsourcing the stickers for Patreon Mail, as I wanted them to be waterproof. I ordered them from Zap! Creatives and never thought it would take so long for them to arrive... 

So Shop Update will be this Saturday 6pm CEST and I´m SOOO excited about it!

I´m SO proud of all the products this time as I have taken that much time to design them and not rush through the process like I normally do.

Let me show you all the products that are coming to the shop:

The big desk mats should arrive next week so I will put them in the shop later :)

I would love to create a Shopify website this year so that I can also make early access for you my lovely Patrons for every of my shop updates as some of the products are always very limited in stock like the totes. 

And for that, I also have to think about if I want to rename my shop as I´m still not sure if I want to keep my own name for it. I actually have bigger plans for my shop for the future and I think keeping my name is not such a great idea.

I think I will make a poll here so that you can help me decide on it! As it´s so hard to decide on a business name 😅

Oh and we reached our next GOAL here on Patreon! 100 Patrons! 

Wow, guys thank you SO much for your support! I´m so happy that we´re growing here more and more and that always means that I can add more and more rewards in here for you 🧡 THANK YOU! 

This goals rewards was "creating a secret shop with previous mail rewards"

So that means that I will create a secret shop for you where you can purchase all the Mail Rewards that are left from previous months! This will be available for ALL PATRONS!

Do you think I should make that secret shop on my actual website or the Shopify website that I plan to create? Or for now on my actual website and then maybe move it to Shopify when I have created the shop there... I´m not sure 😅

Let me know your thoughts about that! 

An idea for our Discord channel

Then over on our Discord channel, I asked if you guys have an idea for how we can make the Discord server a bit more interactive as it's still very silent there. And one of you had the great idea to make a monthly draw this in your style challenge out of the drawing guides! 

So as I always post the drawing guides at the end of the month I think we can make the DTIYS challenges always during the following month. So for example me posting the Drawing Guide in March and the DTIYS starts that day I posted it and runs through the whole next month where you can post your drawings on the discord server! Then I let you choose a winner of all the illustrations and I will post the winner's illustration in my Instagram story.

What would you think about that?

I will also make a poll about that topic for you to decide if that's a good addition to Discord.

Besides working on my shop products I also updated my website a bit this month. That´s what the start of it looks like now:

You can check out the whole website here.

I also managed to film and post videos on YouTube regularly! I´m so proud of myself to grow a little community there as well, as I think it´s so important to show your face as an artist for an even deeper connection and I´m so bad at it over on Instagram 😅

I hope you had a great and creative month 🧡🧡

And thanks again for your support!
