JANUARY 2021: Art Prints, Grape Pop, 2020: Remember That?, MF DOOM, and more…
Happy New Year!
Deep breaths, here we go again - another year!! Get those resolutions in the books and prep yourselves for success - no matter what it is - you can do it!!
Stretch more, drink more water, don’t beat yourself up as much... and try to remember this often - we’re all going through some “stuff,” let’s try to be understanding, forgiving, and kinder to each other, even when it’s difficult - ESPECIALLY when it’s difficult.
This year is gonna be different... well, sort of.
2021 is going to be a challenge, the good kind! I’m making a goal to be more communicative and more consistent online… and all of these changes start here. I’m going to send out a newsletter (like this), at least monthly. Most of the info included will just be a heads-up on what’s coming up in the month. I’m also going to attempt to be more active on my BP social media (mostly instagram), so if you don’t follow me yet - please do. This will be MUCH EASIER for me if YOU are there to help… comment on and share my posts, let me know that you’re out there.
Let’s talk about my other goals! Just so it doesn’t get too weird, I think we should have “the talk.” I don’t want you to hear this from someone else, and then it has to become this whole thing… friend, I love Faygo. There, I said it - I’m a huge fan of their soda, and their brand as a whole. I do however take issue with them being so closely associated with The Insane Clown Posse, which is a band that I’m not a huge fan of. So, I want to bring Faygo over to the other side, put someone in their corner who is more widely-loved. That person, is me. My end goal is to have a full-on, glass door soda cooler in my shop (In my wildest, Faygo-soaked dreams, the company would purchase and have said cooler shipped to me!) If this becomes a reality, that baby will be stocked to the brim with every flavor that my favorite Michigan-made soda-maker has to offer.
Trivia is back!
Also coming back - Who Wants to be a Billionaire virtual trivia! I’m planning to host a monthly game, and I have some great themes scheduled - something for everyone. I’ll announce the theme online, early in the month, and there will be a short window for teams to sign up, The actual games will take place on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 8pm EST. If you’re subscribed to this newsletter - I’ll let you know the theme first, and you can get signed up in advance!

2020: Remember That?
We’ll be talking about Taylor Swift, The Queen’s Gambit, and anything else that happened in pop culture the year that we were all grounded.
Holiday Sales
This holiday season was HUGE for me. I spent most mornings (and some afternoons) packing and shipping boxes all over the country. Lots of people had very merry Christmases when they unwrapped these unique gifts. I’ve modified that old game, Guess Who, to include characters from your favorite TV shows. I have The Office, The Wire, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, and this-just-in: Letterkenny. If you’re a fan - check them out!
Art Prints - 25% off
I’m giving everyone a discount, all January long: 25% off art prints! If you’re a maker who sells prints online - let’s stock up! I’ll also be doing some artist spotlights, featuring some of my favorite artist/customers who all have fantastic art prints for sale: Brush and Bark, Emilee Petersmark, Dark Wizard Berserker (Scott), Bad Love Design (Brandon), and more!!
