We are in the division of schedules, weapon, entertainment, I’m Dan. I started a big signal for a social media agency, robaix mechanism, which is a larger creative agency, hey guys, knocking John Horowitz, and I had development for Jerry media hi everyone. My name is Natalie’s a fat thanks fiber for having us, I post things to the Internet for a living, and my area of focus is social media. So I blog about blogging.
I tweet about tweeting, it’s very meta, hey guys, I’m exacting and I’m the director of brand marketing here at fiber very happy to be here. We’ve got a great group tonight if I were to become an influencer today. You know like quit my journalism job like if it even like possible, like I, don’t even know how to start an. How do you really compete in this world of like some guy, who makes 2 million dollars in one weekend like how you get there? First of all, I can’t speak from experiences.
I don’t have too many galleries or that I have an engagement rate, but you know I think it’s you know finding your voice and finding the blog that works for you and starting to build from there. When you start to count your fault, I think that’s a losing game. You know you know I just personally. I just hit like 50 that you know on Instagram. I don’t have the most followers. I worked really really hard for that, but for a lot of people that still small potatoes and – and so I kind of figured out that if I play the game of quantity, I will lose.
But if I play the game of quality well, I may have a chance at winning you’re a giant, but like you look at the little guy here’s how to help ya. It’s really really hard brands. Ask us people, ask us all the time should I buy my and then wipe it and just try to start over from scratch. You lose a lot of followers right off the bat when you start posting your own stuff and they’re like who’s, that that’s not what I signed up for it.
There’s always this new platform, new wave or new niche to carve out it. So I think, if you’re you’re careful and identifying like an opening, you can do it, but certainly it’s getting more and more competitive. Every day of that, I would say to like, I would reach out to someone and then ask them to for something just for you, like you, want it to be a partnership and a collaboration. I think asking somebody else to post something that you created is probably the recipe for disaster Chrissa t-shirts beyond during every day.
I won’t buy you pizza. If you get me to eat so we’ll meet up and that’s how it happened. So I would say just authentically approach, whoever you’re trying to get ahold of [ Laughter ].

If your business is already doing very well, you have all the clients and customers you ever need and word-of-mouth is spreading. Just naturally, then know you don’t have to do article, but if you would like to have more people know about your business and start to believe in your your business’s brand and mission and products and services, then I highly recommend that you put article as part of Your marketing as soon as possible, the reason is because more and more consumers are getting used to seeing some article before they decide to work with a particular company or person in the past couple of years, just about all of my clients before they started working with Me or in the discussion about working with me, almost all of my clients, said they first had readed a couple or a bunch of my articles and then decided yes georgeous, my going to be my marketing, mentor, etc and and I’ve seen as a dramatic growth.
In my business over the past couple years because of my doing articles, another interesting tidbit is a vice-president at Facebook was quoted as saying that she would not be surprised if in just a few years, Facebook could be all article literally. She said all article now that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but but if you look at Facebook already you see if you scroll through Facebook, you already see a lot of article these days and if you use Facebook on the mobile phone, you’ve noticed that Article is one of the tabs at the bottom of the mobile app very prominently right next to newsfeed.
So it’s that important already to Facebook and because Facebook is in touch with the mindset of every day internet users and know that Internet users really appreciate being able to see article. So here’s the thing about article: it takes practice. It takes getting used to don’t expect that you’re going to make your first article or first 5 or first 10 articles and have it go viral and have it be amazing, if you think that way, it’s kind of like use telling yourself well, I’ve never done any Public speaking before, but that my first public speech is going to be a TED talk, you can’t expect that that’s, but putting too much pressure on yourself, and I hope that from my example you know my my humble and and casual example of doing article that I Could be an encouragement to you to start getting used to seeing yourself on article and and I’ll tell you this the first dozen times you see yourself on article and hear yourself, it’s probably not going to be a pleasant experience for you, because that’s normal for everybody To criticize themselves, what my first online article was in 2009, okay and after I readed that article.
I couldn’t stand to see myself on article and I said I’m not a I’m, not a. I don’t look like a movie star and I’m not particularly amazingly eloquent or whatever it is. You know why should I be on article, and so I quit doing that after that, first article in 2009, I quit article until 2013. It took me four years to get over myself to finally start doing article again. I hope I hope that I can save you four years.
I hope that you won’t take that long to get over yourself and realize that your ideal clients, your ideal audience the people that are most meant to work with. You really actually enjoy seeing you on article by definition, your ideal clients, like your personality. They, like your style and, of course they would be so grateful to be able to see you on article. So just know that when you first do article it’s natural to not like to see yourself on article to keep criticizing yourself to think.
Oh, that’s not good enough, but remember that good enough for content is not for you to judge it’s for you to simply put out into the world and let the ones who are meant to find you find it and appreciate your content. Now, when you first start doing article, you probably don’t want to just publish your first article or to write on to Facebook and YouTube first send it. You know you can publish on YouTube as an unlisted listed article, meaning the only people who have the link that you give to them will be able to see it so send that link to just a few of your most supportive and kind friends and say that You would love some encouragement to do more article and that you know that you’re going to you’re going to have to get a lot better over time, but that this is your first couple of tries.
You know and don’t expect that they’ll read all of your initial articles, just even they read the first. You know 30 seconds, it’s fine and just let them encourage you and then over time, you’re going to get better at it you’re going to get better as you as you get more used to doing it, you will first have to get used to doing it that It becomes normal for you to article and then you can start gradually improving upon it.
As you read your articles back and say, oh, I can improve on this or I can improve on that. I hope this is encouraging for you I’ll, put a link in the notes of this article, two more tips for you that I’ve learned from doing a bunch of articles but know that it’s going to be beneficial for your business and for your marketing. For you to show up as yourself, you don’t have to try to be like me or don’t try to be like anybody else, be your most be the maximum form of who you truly are, as you can on article, because that’s what your ideal clients and your Ideal audience wants to see

I’ve been running now for the past couple of weeks. So, to keep the article off, we will be jumping into my ad account I’ll, be showing you the results from the past seven days or so date today.

I will see it and I will respond to you as well and with that being said, then guys thanks for tuning in and let’s jump straight into it.
So on screen now is April, the 3rd 2020. So, almost two weeks ago now and just kind of give you an introduction into how this strategy works, or the couple of odd sets want to show you them, for example, these two here, the top one, is a retargeting add the second one is a cold interest Ad, so it’s going out to people who have never seen my product, my brand or my facebook ad before both of them are on a 2 pound per day budget, which you can see here and the first kind of interesting piece of data.
I want to show you: is this cold interest? One has a relevant score of 10. Relevant scores are super important. If your ads aren’t producing the kind of results you want them to, then the relevant score typically is the first thing you should be looking at, because it’s like a direct signal of how relevant your product or your ad is to your audience and the higher the Better and the higher it is, the more iconic translates into cheaper CPM, cheaper clicks, etc.
So the CPM have been able to produce two pounds: eleven four pounds: 52, with an average of two pound. Ninety one. Now these are website conversion campaigns and they are purchase ad sets too. As we get into the strategy, it will become clear how I’m able to get these CPM, so cheap custom link, clicks and averages 5 pence, which, even for my kind of standards on average, is actually really cheap as well.
So I was quite surprised by that myself and in terms of the actual amount of purchases them. I believe it was only one purchase for 19 pounds 99, which left me with a 4.8 3, where I so nothing special, but not too bad as you’ll see as we go on. If we have a look at April, 4th, for example, the results were much better. I was able to get 3 purchases with a 1/2 pound ad set, which was about 35 pounds per order, 110 pounds total conversion value which, with a row s of 53.
9 1, which is obviously pretty crazy. One of the huge advantages of running these micro budget strategies is that if you have a day like this, for example, because the profit margins are so high, then it kind of pays for the next week or perhaps even two weeks of ad budgets. As long as you keep running them at 2 pounds per day, if we move on to April 5th, so the Sunday typically weekend’s are like better for me – I’m not sure what you guys get, but typically it’s like evening times during the week and then weekends.
However, due to the current climate, then everything’s pretty random, actually to be honest recently, so, on the Sunday April thief, I only got one purchase for the same product for the same amount, which gave me a rest at 10.25 or 5.21 on average, because this retargeting had At the beginning, didn’t get me any results for this particular day. If we move on to April 6th, I got absolutely nothing on this day and this is kind of like I was going to say it’s a downfall to the strategy.
But it’s not really. When you’re spending 2 pounds per day per ad set, then you’re going to have like really inconsistent results. Everybody knows that Facebook works on bigger budgets because the more data it has the more consistent it can be. So that is kind of that. One of the things to keep in mind is that if you don’t get sales for a couple of days, if we take a look at April 7th I’ve got nothing this day as well.
Then don’t worry about it because you are spending such small amounts. Then you will see these inconsistencies. One thing to point out is the relevant score, for this particular particular ad set has been pretty high and consistent. All the way through, which is obviously a really good thing, and if I just put this to lifetime, have a look at the results over the course. Since I started running these ad sets, I’ve had 23 purchases, 2 pounds 70 per purchase on average, which is crazy, crazy, cheap.
Even for me, however, during these current times, if you get the right and these kind of results are achievable, both the relevant scores for both of these ad sets are pretty high, which is absolutely a really good sign, which leaves me with a fourteen point. Three two row: s on average. I can refresh this page as well, so you can see indeed that these results are real and are achievable for you to just have to have the right product and put it in front of the right audience now.
That means that, then, how does the actual strategy itself work so to start off the objective? Being a testing strategy is to identify the best performing audiences and then scale the winning ones. When it comes to running Facebook Ads, you should be doing one of two things. Number one is testing or number two is scaling and your budget changes depending on what your objective is. So, if you’re on a low budget, for example, the best thing to do is use a really small budget to test to find which audiences are performing the best and then kind of split your budget up and spend the majority of it on scaling.
Because the more budget you put to an ad set, then the more data can go through it, the faster you can optimize the more consistent and more profitable the results can be, but I’d said, then the only thing that’s going to change is the detailed targeting section. We’re going to target one interest and we’re going to narrow this with engaged shoppers by selecting engage up is what this does is and make sure is that we target those people who are clicking the shop now button recently within the past seven days.
Basically, so it increases your chances of finding those people who buy things using Facebook Ads next up we’re going to use auto placements now. Typically, I’ve always stayed away from auto placements. To be honest, I’ve always stuck to kind of like desktop news feeds on Facebook, mobile news feeds on Instagram and Facebook, but because things have got so much more competitive over the years. So when I first started advertising four years ago now there were three million advertisers on the platform and I think it was reported this year or last year there was over eight million people advertising.
So there’s twice the amount of people advertising and there isn’t twice the amount of users. So essentially there’s more people come competing for each space. So I started testing with autoplay, so it’s about six months ago, maybe probably halfway through 2019 and the results been really good. So far because those other spaces are less competitive, essentially they’re cheaper, you get a further reach, and essentially this lowers your CPM and that’s why I’ve been able to achieve those load.
Cpm switch. You terms the conversion date window, I’m always going to go for seven days with low budgets, the longer the better with smaller budgets, and currently seven days is the longest that facebook gives us. So just make sure you click the more options and then make sure you’ve got seven days selected. So kind of summarize this strategy then, and why it works number one is to pound budgets allow for slow but cost-effective testing.
You can go three or four days without seeing a single purchase, but because there’s such small budgets, then it’s not a big outlays, not a lot of money to lose, and what this also means is well point to is that one purchase equals your facebook budget paid For the next three to ten days, obsolete depends on what your profit margins are. So, for example, if you sell our products and each order gets you 20 pound profit for that particular ad set spending 2 pounds per day.
It pays for the next 10 days worth of advertising on Facebook before you’re in a loss, so one purchase can mean a lot point number 3 by using engage shoppers. I’ve already mentioned this. Is your insurer you’re targeting people that are currently shopping, a still shopping, because by selecting that essentially includes everybody who has hit the shop now button on other people’s Facebook ads in the past seven days? And then, the last point, auto placements by selecting this, you open up those cheaper places, those less competitive places to advertise, which in turn, increases your reach for the same budget and makes your CPM cheaper.
Now, if you’re thinking those places, such as audience, networks etc are cheaper because they’re low-quality and you don’t get conversions, you may be right, which is absolutely fine at this point, because we haven’t spent a lot of money and we’re simply testing. This is we’re scaling and the next steps come in, which is so start with the best performers when you’ve ran these three headsets for at least five days.
I’m a really big believer by the way of I would much rather split my budget over the course of say a week versus one or two days so once you’ve run these for at least five days, if not a seven, I’m start with the best performance. Look through the breakdowns and then narrow and increase the budget / duplicate by ten days. So, if you do like this micro budget strategy, what you could do is you could duplicate the ad set ten time to you essentially you’re spending $ 20.
00 per day. You can see the individual results per ad set and then you can just kill the ones which aren’t profitable and continue to scale and increase the ones that are so when I say look through the break, essentially what we do if we come onto here and use These two as an example: if we select this breakdown tab here on the right, we can go by delivery and if we go by gender, it’s going to tell us where the purchases are coming from.
So essentially across these two ad sets. It seems pretty kind of similar actually three for female two for male 1 foot and categorized, but then that’s interested in facts for the cold interest. Targeting we’ve got 15 purchases for males 2 for females. So essentially that would be where you would narrow and then start to scale on the males and then, if we move to, let’s go for placement and once its loads up, then we can see where all the data has come from.
So it’s been 6 purchases. In total, for this retargeting ad and every single one, which is quite interesting, has come from the Facebook newsfeed on a mobile device. If we have looked at the cold interest tags – and we can see that one has come from Instagram stories, but the majority have come from the Facebook newsfeed on a mobile device as well. So, even though none have come from other places, what would we do now is essentially narrow.
This ad set to mobile newsfeed only mail, only let it run for a few more days and then increase their budgets and duplicate up to 10 times if we so choose to and with that been selling guys. That pretty much covers absolutely everything I want it to. In this article, hopefully you found it informative and quite interesting. If you do go out and test this make sure you come back.

If I have one piece of advice, I can give anybody who’s trying to sell more beats or start learning. How to sell beats is do not quit and I know I as please Shay as it sounds, do not quit. I went from making this much money to this much money. It got so bad. I had a couple hundred dollars in my PayPal account. I mean I hit rock bottom literally and I had to go off and get a job and I end up getting a job, and I worked at that job for one day, not even a full day.
It was my 8-hour 8-hour shifts and while I was working the man I wasn’t sitting there thinking to myself, like you went from being a boss to an employee, I’m like no, like this ain’t, the life. You know I’m say this ain’t, the life I want for myself. I can’t do this like. I need to be doing what I what I know I was made that I was born to do and that’s great music and making money off what I love to do.
So in that night, when I got back home, I got on my grind. I got a lot grind dude. I don’t know how I got a game plan for me. I realized the game had changed. You know yet social media really poppin off back when I was rocking the thing it was really just MySpace and then you to start jumping off on Twitter. All these different little social media accounts start popping off and I wasn’t on any of them really.
I wasn’t if I did have a kind. I wasn’t utilizing them as I should have been, so I had to take a step back and read how the younger cats, who making money now and I had to read how he was moving now. I didn’t try to change my sound to to copy emulate a song. I stuck with my son, I stuck with the sound allure to do, but I readed how they moved. How did promoting, and I mean when I came when I tell you I came back – I came back in full of faith.
My financial status blew up more than I can imagine, even when I was big back in the rock better days and all of other beat websites the money, don’t even compare to what I’m making now right here, 2018 and and since then, I’ve been able to buy My first home in a nice, beautiful, suburban neighborhood, some I would have never imagined and I filed a game book or what I would have quit and stay working at that.
What a job this wouldn’t be possible. So I’m telling you right now: I don’t care how old you are. 16. 15. 38. It don’t matter, do not quit. Do not quit. I’m telling you it is real, it’s lame signing, but do not quit. I am living proof, I’m living proof that you can make it happen. I know the highest, I know the loads, I know it’s hard selling beats online. I know it. I know that you know I’m saying everybody telling you this side of sell beats this.
Why I sell beats and in the scene, man it may seem like it’s not working for you, but stick to it. Stick to it. Don’t quit cuz! Oh bless. They might be right around the corner. If you give up you’ll, never see it you’re. Not I’m saying you never on get there, and that would be my best advice for anybody. Don’t give up no matter what, like I said, I’ll Carl corny as hell, don’t give up I’m being 100 % real with you, don’t quit man, peace? What’s up everybody taste, the producers problem, member of be stars, family happy to be here, one tip that I would give everybody every producer on the B star site, I would say: stay consistent and stay engaged with your fans and your clients and things like that.
Stay. Consistent, keep it good material out and just stand on top of you know, keeping yourself consistent, keeping yourself new, always improving and always giving new material to the people, and that way you’re always in their face, and you always have your brand showing to them, and they Always have you on their mother so that you can just keep moving forward, getting more customers and more clients having your your business snowball into something huge, but that would be the number one tip I’d be able to give to your piece.
So this is Gabe from the production team Legion beats. I can offer some advice to other producers. It would really be make sure you’re providing value first, so always think about what, if you’re talking to a potential client customer a partner? How can I help this person? First, what can you do for that person? Because what that’s going to do instead of you thinking about how can I make a quick buck from this person? It’s going to create a long-term relationship with that person and it’s going to be more valuable in the long term.
So, if you think about like okay sure you might be able to sell something real quick to somebody. But if somebody comes to you for advice – and you give them an answer that maybe makes a little less money for you up front but makes that person a customer for life, the lifetime value of that customer is going to be more on. The same thing goes: if you’re talking to potential partners, people that you want in your team, all that kind of stuff always think about what kind of value can I provide first, and that’s really something that’s going to build that foundation and set you up for the Long term, so that you can do what you love for living and make music, which is something that I’m super grateful for, and I’m only able to do because of the team that I have leading beat squad.
And I’m also super grateful to the beat stars. Team aid, the whole team for creating a platform that allows me and the rest of my team to do what we love for living so guys, sony o beats one tip that will give you guys stock some party now or are established, be consistent release a beat. Every month, every week, every day to always be consistent, always peace. What’s going down, I’m DJ paying one platinum producer been making beats for a long time, and it really took me up until the last couple months.
Maybe the last three or four months from my online beats tour to really become a substantial source of income. It takes a while to build up a small business to the point where you’re, where you’re turning a profit, and it takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of energy and it takes some initial investment. I think I would have gotten my online sales moving a lot faster. Had I just taken the marketing a little more seriously invested, some more money focused on a consistent upload schedule built my catalog up.
So if I had to give one piece of advice, well, I’ll give a couple pieces of advice to someone just starting out selling beats online I’d, say number one build your catalogue up, get as many beats. Now some people say 50, some people say a hundred, but just just get a lot of beats up there and put yourself on an upload schedule. Maybe two or three beats a week and then, once you have a fair amount of beats up on on your beats store, then really learn all the different marketing options and utilize them see, which one works best for you, whether it’s using Facebook Ads manager running ads On individual beats, Instagram, which is a part of Facebook’s ad manager using beat stars promotional options which which work pretty well.
Google AdWords as a marketing platform just understand that when you create a beat store, you’re, creating a small business and you have to act accordingly, all small businesses invest in advertising and marketing. So don’t be like me. Don’t wait too long to realize that and take that seriously and have faith in yourself to the point where you’re investing some money and bringing customers in yo what up beat stars? This is verbal for fat, sound records.
I think the best advice I could give to up-and-coming producers or people in the game trying to get further along, but really just to be open-minded to evolving, to take advantage of the modern techniques and advancements in technology. For instance, I’ve been incorporated machine into my workflow. The last few years, which is really broaden my palate musically and made quicken up the pace of really just creating the ideas.
Now, no matter where you are in the game, you can always get better. You can mix better. You can arrange better. You can get better. No matter what you think in your head, so really just to be open-minded and never become complacent, just keep getting better and never stop. So this is verbal for fat. Sound records, be stars.
Podcast is the place for knife newbies like myself, a knife of junkies like you to learn all about knives and knife collecting the midweek show is where we get a chance to take a look at some of the knife stories in the news with our knife.
Life news segment: Bob will also have a chance to provide an update on his collection, including some news about the bass Anneli creations diagnostic neck knife. Can we get a longer title as well as the cold steel, XL luzon? I think, as I you how you pronounce it, we’ve got a listener line. Call we want to to hear and have a chance to discuss and if time permitting we’ll get to some of the the knife shows from our friends at knife magazine.
Com, so Bob a full show again. Midweek never seems to be a lack of stuff to talk about. In the knife, world, yeah yeah that’s right and actually something that didn’t quite make it onto your list. There’s there’s more to talk about. I know I was. I was saving that, oh snap, you know Jim I’ve been trying to sell three knives for a while and – and I arrived at the three I wanted to get rid of, and it’s three that I find relatively valuable because they’re cool knives and they’re great when I Have them in hand, but I never carried them so that was kind of a no-brainer, so I put them up on blade forums in one in one posting and someone came back one one.
Yes, exactly a one lot like like at an auction, and someone came back to me and said I’d like to buy them all for this price, and you know when I took into account that they’d all be going to the same place. So it was reduced shipping by about 20 bucks. It worked out. Great everyone got a deal and I was able to unload my kaiser compadre, this big beautiful two and a quarter inch recurve, bow II and the that we 609, this big kind of goofy-looking purple space Sachs.
If you will and then my old CRKT Liang ma eraser such a cool and beautiful knife, but just one – I never carry anymore so got rid of them. I’m moving some things around I want to get. I want to get a Spartan. I want to get a Spartan horsy folder, so they don’t come for free, I’m seeing so is that Spartan, horsy folder a before blade or during blade? Oh, Oh, an interesting question you raise actually because at when we were talking to Stassi 23 on the show we were talking about going to blade and and how he said right about now.
You start seeing people selling off their knives to save up for blade. This will be my first year, your first year, the knife junkie first year at blade, show – and you know I hadn’t really taken that into account. I’ve been thinking about, you, know, buying hotel buying food and and flight and and all of that and logistics, and what we’re going to do when we’re there. But I hadn’t thought about the actual knife buying part and you can’t go and not get one.
So hmm me raise an interesting point. Maybe maybe some more knife lots going up by the knife yeah. Maybe I need to take a more stern look at what I carry and what I want, and or or maybe I just slow down and remain satisfied with what I have well, you raised an interesting criteria. You, as your collection evolved. You know you’re buying stuff, because you liked it and now it’s kind of gotten to where it’s more about what you want to be able to carry as opposed to just having it and the knife drawer on the shelf or whatever to look at.
You want to be able to carry and use it. So that’s that’s your criteria. Now, yeah yeah, I mean they’re. All I can carry all of them, but but you’re right at the at the end of the day, there are certain things that I’m just going to keep going back for, so why not? Why not collect to that strength and and have my money until I open up the DeMarco, a knife museum and I have to get one of each. You know like Noah or I guess he had two of each.
That sounds even better I’ll, just kind of start calling and getting some some better stuff. Well. Well, we’ll give you four or five years before we open up the museum and an app that I do have to clarify by saying better stuff. I mean it’s better inherently, if I’m using it and carrying it, then, if I’m not I’m not talking about quality everything I sold to this gentleman is super high quality yeah.
Well, you know and what you were saying to about carrying it is it’s the same thing. It’s not that it’s not a great knife, not that you don’t love it, but tastes evolved, taste change! So just the things you naturally gravitate to is what you’re wanting to carry in your pocket. Your right front, pocket your left front, pocket, yourse, waistband your neck knife! So there you go, you’ve got enough choices right.
There are good ads. You know it will get carried at some point. So anyway, Bob sells off some knives, we’ll see what he replaces it with and how quickly you’re listening to the knife, junkie, podcast, it’s time now for the latest knife life news, the latest two releases from Sevilla look quite interesting to me. The first one has an interesting name, Jim and I’m not exactly sure how they’re pronouncing it, but it looks like asticus to me asticus kind of an interesting name.
It sounds like it could either be from you know, Roman times or something else asticus anyway. It’s a new flipper from Sevilla and it is beautiful. I love the way it looks. It’s got it, it’s a drop point and it’s got a nice hollow ground blade with a sweat, long swedge on top and a nice finger toy. But that is a 3.8 inch blade. You know I like the longer blades – and this is the biggest thing Civ IV has done.
You know we has done a lot of large knives with this first thing from them. That’s large! It’s an in the house design. D2. Steel flipper only ball bearing you know that the usual I’ve got to say g10 insert and multiple colors. The cool thing about the insert is that it’s letterbox by the stainless steel frame behind it. So the frame sits slightly proud if you will and it it looks, really beautiful – and I know just from holding other knives that have that sort of that sort of letterbox effect with a handle scale.
It is very comfortable, it kind of rounds out the knife without thickening it and having to counter it. So you get a nice visual effect. You get a nice ergonomic effect, so got ta say just for where my tastes are going. I haven’t really gotten any severe ease, even though I find them very attractive, and I know that they’re awesome knives. This one is kind of looking like it’s up my alley, so this this might be something that go for it’s a $ 65 knife, which is another reason for me to go for it and they are going to do a sort of upscale version of it.
But it’s only kind of slightly upscale they’re going to have Damascus instead of d2 and they’re going to have carbon fiber, overlaid, g10 scales kind of a la Spyderco and that one will be 90 bucks. The other release from Sevilla is one that we saw here. A few months back Jim it in that stage it was still a prototype and it was unnamed, but it’s a small actually tiny is how they described it. Fixed blade, EDC meant for pocket, wear or neck carry by alessandra De Santis, and it’s it was this little Keira dashiki looking thing, you might remember: 9c r18 MOV with a bottle opener on the spine.
Well, they named it and it’s now called the kiri EDC like Kira II cuz. It scared ashish a blade, but instead it’s the Kira EDC cute doesn’t exactly roll off my tongue, but neither does asticus. So you know so VV great at making knives great at designing and making knives the names – maybe maybe that’s where they have to work on it. Yeah, maybe not so much they’re, alright and so V V is the the budget line of we? Yes, alright, alright and – and you know, as as we were speaking with Stassi recently – he just meant he so does Zell frequent contributor to Thursday night knives, Zell Rick 42 loves Sabae B, and I guess I just have to get my hands on one and this asticus Sure looks like the one I want to get my hands on all right.
That sounds funny. Yeah! Okay, I won’t touch that one. I just caught that yeah, the asticus, the a Snickers yeah. Okay, all right moving on quickly, yes, Hey moving from that will go to bone daddy blade works. Let’s talk about a an axe like product coming out, yeah from the knit from the new folks there. That is, that is how I’m describing it looking at it. It’s pretty cool, you know it’s grown on me just in looking at it.
I haven’t. I haven’t seen one of these. It’s a new outfit called bone. Daddy blade works, it’s a new design and knife making house doing small batch productions and they got this knife. Like axe head or axe head, like knife thing called the axis ax X is, and it is very interesting. It is a looks like a pretty large chunk of Steel large in width, but it has been skeletonized massively aggressively and the surfaces are also treated in such a way that either grooves are cut out very attractive, grooves or sort of dimpled patterns.
All these things to lighten up this, strangely shaped knife thing. So it’s a it’s a survival knife, but you can tie it to well. You can lash it to a limb and make an axe out of it. So it’s got a very sort of wedge, like geometry to it, and it’s got a blade on the bottom, where the traditional, where the beard of a traditional axe would be and then a blade facing forward. So it looks kind of almost like a tanto or a gram raised — all if you will a fixed giant slab of Graham raised’el anyway.
This is a pretty neat. Looking thing double edged. As I said, it’s d2 it’s five and five point: three inches of cutting edge, including both the beard, blade side and the forward blade side, and you can use it as a knife. You can use it as an axe and it’s got Kydex. It’s a little heavy. At fourteen point three ounces, but, like I said it’s, it’s an axe knife. So right you know it’s going to be heavy, it’s a knife with a capital capital in it’s on Kickstarter, right now and they’re they’re, seeking funding and they’re.
Looking it’s going to end by the 26th of March, they looking for 55 Greene looks like a cool project. I got to say bone daddy blade works, that’s wer X, so his Bob said March 26 kind of the end of the month, though we’ll keep an eye on that. Maybe maybe put a note in our books to revisit that around that time to see how they did and see how it’s going. One final story and knife life news who want to get to – and I always have trouble with this one se, SE se na ok e SE e okay, so they have a an interesting line.
Se is is known for their outdoor blades push crafts camping. You know pretty hardcore outdoor survival and and violent outdoor adventure blades, and they have a line called the expat series. An expat is actually the the handle of someone on the SE forums, who has been a contributor in a lot of different ways over the years and including designs. So as he started making a line of this, this gentleman expats designs, I’m assuming he’s a gentleman could be a woman, but in any case they have this new one coming out and it’s it’s half knife, half machete, it’s it’s sort of a short machete large knife.
At twelve point three eight inches and it’s it’s got a beautifully shaped. It looks like a spade blade, as they say on knife news, but really you look at this machete. It’s got. A drop point almost looks like a clip point and a long straight and a beautiful belly up towards that point, and it really does look like a large spade blade from from a stockman slip-joint knife anyway, it’s point, zero, nine, four thick so and you can use It for hefty jobs, but it’s also it’s also pretty agile.
Apparently it’s made by a partner company of SES in El Salvador, which is kind of like Condor, well, not kind of like Condor. That’s where Condor is located, so that made me think of Condor immediately 1075 with a comm convex grind, and I don’t know if you remember this about me Jim, but I love a convex grind. I can’t say that I remembered that, but I thank you for letting me know what has happened.
I got to get better on my grinds yeah yeah step by step Bob I’ll get there well. The convex grinds are very robust because you can get them super super sharp, but they’re rounded right towards the tip. So you have also you have sort of the performance of an axe or the stoutness of an axe, but you can get them incredibly keen to anyway canvas micarta handles canvas sheath, which I think is cool. That’s kind of a throwback to sort of World War.
2 era, machetes and yeah – I just think it’s cool there. Here’s a guy, here’s, a person, who’s, a total enthusiast for se knives and they took on his designs, took him seriously and he’s got a whole line of knives with them. Now this must be the chauffeur for big knives with the SE and the axe that you’re just talking – oh yeah, so well yeah, maybe maybe I need to get in with. I need to start haunting the Cold Steel forums and see if, though, they’ll make one of my crazy ideas that the pit fighting gauntlet, perhaps perhaps you never know to you, ask yeah what can they say? No Lynn, Thompson, I’m sure, would come up with a great way to justify it and now that we’re caught up with a knife life news, let’s hear more of the knife junkie, podcast back on the knife, junkie, podcast time for the collection update from Bob the knife Junkie, DeMarco, where you want to start Bosch, Denali or Cold Steel.
Well, let’s start with cold steel. I got that first. I guess! Oh yes, why not alphabetical or no and and not in the order. I gave it to you, but you know we’re whimsical here. The knife junkie pocket, so I recently had an Amazon order. You know as one does, and it was a bunch of very practical stuff, but I did notice that the cold steel extra-large lose on. We had for 38 bucks at that moment and a wave of justification hit me and I can’t remember exactly what it was, but it probably had to do with I.
I don’t even know how I justified it. I just threw it on there. 38 bucks. It’s a leap year, but it’s a leap year. That’s a great one! That’s a very going! Thank You, Man, I’m going to use that for the rest of the year cuz. I said where you can this thing this. This luzon is a pretty cool knife. I got ta say it’s it’s. It is one of the big ridiculous cold steel knives. So if that bores you, you know you’re going to have to suffer through this for just a moment, if you don’t mind but yeah, it is this very large river II handled beasts and yeah.
I tell you it’s very strange to have a cold steel. That is a liner lock, and this is a pretty robust liner, lock it it is taking in. It is taking a little bit of time to break in, but I got ta say this thing is amazing. Now, if anyone is on the fence, if anyone who is a reasonable individual like myself and collects these giant cold steel knives – and you think it’s got a tiara 13 MOV – maybe I’ll pass on this one well brother – I get you that’s where I was for a Couple of years now, but then it occurred to me really it doesn’t matter what steel this has, because you know chances are I’m not going to really use it.
I have a couple of other large cold Steel’s. I use for yard stuff. This won’t get used that way. So, if I ever need it, I’m quite sure that eight CR 13 MOV will will do me just fine, because this is a big folding fighting knife and I don’t use those so the cheaper steel. The softer steel is 100 % acceptable and it makes it a little bit more affordable. Well, it sounds like a great price and I’m glad we were able to help you justify it out there.
Thank you. It’s reasonably welcome! That’s right! There you go article. I am assuming coming up on the YouTube blog at some point: yeah yeah cuz. Since I put up my article of cold steel, folders, I’ve gotten two more, which was unexpected but gosh. I know now an updated collection article, no, an updated, updated update right alright. So we go from big knives, big ax, big cold steel down to a little neck knife, yeah, that’s new! In the collection.
I need tiny neck knife inspired by my wife who wanted to carry a Karambit when she was running something she could just kind of grip. In her fist and have looped over her finger so that you know it can’t be seen, and but it’s there and it’s handy and I owned her. My Fox 599 Karambit, which is a relatively small Karambit, and it wasn’t wasn’t doing it for her little too noticeable and big, and so I thought about bass dinelli.
They have all these cool little knife, sharp, claw type things tons of different, beautiful Karambit sand and fixed blade and folding knives that that he designs, and so I got. I got her this little. It’s called the diagnostic neck knife and what it is is a two finger Karambit and so far I have find. I have found it not as easy on the ring finger coming out the bottom of my fist, but it feels great in hand on my.
You know. Flip off on my bird finger, if you will and and encrypt that way, this is a really interesting little knife. It reminds me of some of the little ring claws that guru, Danny no Santa, has brought to different seminars. I’ve been to – or he shows all these really cool – have covert traditional, Filipino and and Indonesian weapons, and they look kind of like this they’re like little little animal claws that fit neatly into your hand, just in case you’re jogging through the park and someone menaces you.
You know so yeah I got one for my wife and I guess I had to get one for myself because I didn’t want to be hogging it from her, but I I wanted to be able to to to review it and discuss it. So I had to have one from my own so got one and it’s awesome I was going to say so: you’re not hogging it. I am NOT no actually got you guys really got to, but did you notice how I framed the conversation that was about my wife and had my wife’s knife for jogging, but it also helped me out to do.
I did notice that totally I did and I was going to ask you if it was your wife’s knife. Why do you still have an enhance I’m flat? I’m glad you clarified. She had forgot a second one, see there’s okay market. This might be the new one to ride behind the old. The old work idea we’ll see about that though. Okay and does she does she like it, or is it too early to tell how she had enough chance to use? She has not it just they just arrived so uh, but she’s half did it and likes the way it feels and she’s got small hands.
It feels good in there small hands very good collection update there from the knife junkie, we’ll we’ll see how many more weeks we have multiple knife to talk about if he can keep this pace going for a while. Well, we’ll wait till next week and see what’s going on with the collection. There have a question – or maybe you just have a comment – give us a call at seven, twenty, four, four, six, six, four, four, eight seven will answer your question on an upcoming episode of the knife: junkie podcast that number again, seven, twenty four, four, six, six, four.
Four, eight seven, all right knife junkies, don’t forget, we would love to hear from you get your feedback. Your comments, your questions, your thoughts give us a call on the listener line at seven, two, four, four, six, six, four, four, eight seven, seven, two, four. Four: six. Six four four, eight seven and that’s what the gentlemen that we’re going to play a message from: did he called the listener line? Left us a message.
Unfortunately, didn’t leave his name or anything. So we, you know, can’t give him credit, or you know, get back with him that way, but hopefully he’s listening to the podcast. We wanted to to play it and and give the knife junkie a chance to comment on it kind of set it up. Bob, the the the call is about Strider knives and stolen valor. Yes, a gentleman left a message complimenting the show his tone was was really you know very complimentary.
It was a nice letter, but he was responding to my recent bloviating. How about about my new Strider SN SMF and how excited I am about it, how much I love it and he stated that it’s very very hard for him or impossible for him to support the work of people who’s, who he has problems with and and well I’ll, let I’ll let him him talk about it and then I’ll give you my initial reaction, but I have to say I haven’t thought 100 % through how I feel about it.
But I’m really happy this. This gentleman called in – and I like, when there are actual things to talk about in this hobby in this in this realm of enthusiasm, and not just look at this cool new knife. Look at this cool new knife. This is an interesting thing to ponder. Well, let’s, let’s listen to that and then we’ll come back in here from the knife: junkie, hey, what’s up guys enjoying the podcast just ran over, ran, haven’t, found it and really good content that you guys have hey man just want to express my concerns with the Striker in general, with the history of the company, especially mixed rider with stolen valor and being arrested for carjacking, and all that nonsense.
I just can’t seem to support a company like that and so just hoping that you would actually support people who truly served. Who truly spoke honestly about what they did when they were serving there’s a lot of other knife companies out there that do that man so again great show enjoying it very much, but I’m just out no way would I support straight or knives in any way. Alright guys take care alright, so bomb we’ve, we’ve heard the message, your initial thoughts, your initial reaction.
Well, my my initial feeling is this is obviously coming from someone to whom this is important. Someone who served himself maybe or someone who has someone close who’s serving that the point is this obviously is coming from somewhere. Deep and you know, everyone needs a code of ethics, but that that code of ethics is oftentimes personalised by your own experiences and by how you were raised in and from my perspective.
This is my perspective. I came up as an artist and going to art school and pondering the behavior of of many different artists and and and then contrasting that, with their work Caravaggio one of my favorite painters of all time, you know, murdered someone and then got back in the good Graces of the church by making a painting – and I always kind of thought huh, but you know most beautiful paintings in the world character.
You know I’m not so sure about this guy’s character. How does that make me feel about the art it doesn’t make me? It? Doesn’t change my feeling about his paintings and I III flash-forward to my favorite movie, made by a man named Roman Polanski, who, by all accounts is you know, a bit of a scumbag and but he made a great movie and I love Chinatown does what Roman Polanski Did change how I feel about Chinatown, I I it doesn’t, it doesn’t and that’s sometimes I think if I were more principled, maybe it would, but in this case it does not.
Maybe it’s just not personal enough for me. So I hear I hear what this gentleman is saying about: Mick Strider and how men and Strider knives and why he can’t support them. And I admire that and I respect that. It is not where I stand at the moment and and frankly, and to be totally honest, I’m not sure if that’s due to an ethical stance or just because I absolutely love the knife and I’m willing to you know, justify how I feel about it.
Or I mean you, don’t I’m saying you know nothing yeah? Well I mean every you know, there’s a phrase one of my former bosses used to say where you sit depends on where you stand. So you know you have your own perspectives, your own history. You know whether you grew up in the military. Maybe you have military, family military friends. You went to art school, so you understand art the appreciation of art.
It’s all different. You have your own perspectives so to each his own. I, like you, I admire and respect this gentleman’s opinion. I admire his respect, your opinion. You know, I appreciate him sharing the message and getting this conversation started, and I would definitely like to invite listeners to give a call to the listener line and let us know their thoughts, kind of how it affects them or how they feel about yeah and and Actually this this raises up the the real the whole reason for being this podcast.
I set out to talk to all the people that I admire and respect and have something to say in the knife world. I would I’ve sent out a couple of invitations to Mick Strider I’d love to have him on the show, not only to you know, meet and talk to this very storied, an accomplished legacy knife maker, but also you know, I’d love to to at least allow people To talk freely about their side of things, who knows, you know just an opportunity to have conversation and find out where, where everyone’s coming from well – and I want to expand or clarify on something – you said this podcast is not not just to talk to the people.
You admire and respect and want to meet it’s to talk to anybody in the knife world any different opinions, any different kind of things like that, it’s like the show we did with what super steel Steve. You know, I’m the first to admit. I’m not my mind. Doesn’t think Steel’s and mathematics and chemistry, and all that, so you know – and I think you know we had a comment. You know that says you know after that shows like interesting the the host and the co-host.
You know don’t like Steel’s or yeah talk Steel’s, but yeah they’re, the host of this podcast, okay, fine! You know, I respect that. It’s just not one of my strengths, but it’s still. We want to be able to talk to people in the knife world, regardless of where they’re coming from yeah yeah, I mean that’s the whole point. I don’t you know what I know could fill a thimble. I just know what I like right right.

Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
This is the binder whoa. Sorry about that. This is a binder I have been using for quite a while. It is a very thick binder that I got on Amazon. I think it’s an Avery binder. I will link it down below if y’all are interested but anyways. I did a article not too long ago, showing my sticker organization as to how I put this together.
I will link that article up in a cart if y’all are interested but anyways. I have my little coffee break planner thing that I made over here and yeah. So, let’s just like get right into it. I do have these categorized by like category obviously a categorized by category way to go Emily way to use the word. I’m just a wordsmith today, but I have lots of different things to share. The first category is my event: category, which is my favorite category, because it’s got my favorite stickers in there so yeah.
So, let’s just kind of like flip through it and then we’ll just go from there. She’s got lots of really great scalloped box stickers, which are one of my favorite things. I’ve got a lot of duplicates just FYI and then I’ve got some things as well. So I know that some of her stickers are formatted for specific planners, and then some of them are just like the way that they are so sometimes when you go onto her Etsy shop.
It’ll, like give a little drop-down and say, like you, know, ask what planner ur like what orientation of a planner that you’re using and all that good stuff, so yeah. But I just like love her stuff, it’s so nice. It sounds like holographic, it’s really cool yeah and then this one, this one’s silver. So these are like assam. My favourite stickers are these little scalloped ones and she just released new colors.
I did flip through a couple of the new colors, but there’s some new ones for fall so feel free to go check that out. If you interested, but yes, it’s my first category just because it makes the most sense and then I’ve got half boxes right here. Oh, I only have two left on this one. I want to use this one up, so I’ve got some half boxes. I got some like military-inspired ones and then I’ve got a bunch of other ones which these are really nice as well, more military but yeah.
I just you know I just love her stuff, so much and this type of sticker is just like, so my jam like it’s just ah, you know I love a good. I love a good half box, a good functional anything, and I like that. Some of these have like a little bit of something to them without being like overly, you know, aggressive or whatever. These are my full boxes, but I only have one sheet of full boxes, so the full boxes is kind of, like my catch-all for other weird things.
They’re, not weird they’re, just different, you know, and I don’t have a place for them so when Katherine sends out orders, at least in my orders. She’s always put in these really cute little samplers, which is kind of Awesome, and then also I have a bunch of transparent dots, so I’ve got them in some of the colors. So this is the green and then I also have like some of the rainbow ones. I have some of the red ones and more of the rainbows as well, but I absolutely love the transparent dots, oh and I should say well now: okay, let’s get into the flag story all over the paper that she uses is matte, which I love a good Matte paper, so here’s all the flags that I’m showing today um.
But I love the matte paper. I don’t know what it is, but it’s like something about the way that the pen or the marker or whatever you’re, using like kind of soaks into the paper, and I know it’s like satisfying to me – it’s like very satisfying. Actually, what is going to say is that she uses matte removable paper. So if you mess up – and you like – lay it down on your planner – it’s okay, because you can easily like lift it up, which is kind of Awesome.
So, anyway, here’s all her scripted words that I have she’s got several more scripted words that, like don’t pertain to me in my life, so I don’t order those ones, but I’ve gone through several of these. Like look, I’m almost done with these work ones. I’ve used a bunch on this sheet too, like I forget what I have sometimes it’s just kind of the nature of the beast: with look having a youtube blog that does planning now you kind of forget what you have, and I didn’t have these like really nicely Organized for a long long time, so it took me quite a while to figure out a system that you know worked for me.
But since I did this, I’ve just been like loving the way that it all looks. And then I’ve got my work stickers, which is pretty awesome. I’ve got lots of fun things in here, so I’ve got some desks more desks. There’s lots of like versions of desks cute little calculators, we’ve gotten like a couple of those which is awesome and it’s getting like really really cold in Minnesota now. So this is kind of how I feel right now as like a little snowman, even though it’s not snowing yet.
I shouldn’t have said that s word now: it’s going to start snowing, darn, it okay and then yeah. I got lots of different, really fun ones. This reminds me I need to start. My office is almost actually redone, you guys it’s it’s like really getting there, but I need to do a file organization on all my files, but I’m going to do a article about it too, because I know you guys have been asking for that.
I just haven’t. Had like a good opportunity to do it and I actually bought a file cabinet from Ikea. So I’m very very excited about that to share like how I’m going to be organizing it and it’s like three full drawers of emptiness right now, but that’s very exciting. For me to get organized and I haven’t gone through stuff in like a really long time, so I know you guys think I’m super organized, but sometimes the fge is not as organized as you think she is so.
I think we’re all like that. But anyway, these are one of my new favorite stickers too. They just came out or she just came out with these not too long ago. Maybe a couple months back and it’s like a little shelf that has planners and then it has like a little pen cup that says CBP on it, which is really cute for coffee break planner, and I think this is so nice. If you want to like indicate like planning time or like a meet-up or something just really really stinking cute, so that’s my work category here is my home category.
So, basically, anything that has to do with the house so laundry, which I have to do laundry I’m going to do laundry tomorrow, um. I also have these like road trip. Looking ones. I’ve got some trash cans and musical notes. More laundry. I’ve got some like shopping bags. These are like little baby laundry’s like look at these, oh they’re, so cute right, that’s really cute. Yes, she’s got a couple different sizes of things so and then I also have these really cute makeup brush like cleaning things and then more trash things, some gifts more trash.
I love a good trash guys. I’d love a good trash. I also have some beds for like when you want to like change your sheets or like redo your bedding or whatever. These home stickers are like one of my favorite things, they’re so flippin and cute, and then these are awesome as well. These cute little shelves and then the really fun thing is. You can put something like inside of the picture frame if you want, if you want to like draw a little something which is really really cute, and she put in some of these, so you can see like it’s like doyle, like my dogs like silhouette, and then She put my logo and the other ones which are super stinkin cute, Oh see, I used a bunch of the house once already and these are the clean me little brushes again and then also some trash ones ooh in the plant stickers, oh and then I also Have these really cute little books, if you guys have been following me for a while, I have some like really amazing news.
So if you guys read my blog, this will make a lot more sense, so my mom actually just left today, like the day, I’m filming this. She just left to go back to Florida, but every year, like my mom and dad’s summer in Minnesota, and then they have their full-time residents in Florida, but this year she got rid of the damn plant, I’m so excited. I do not know how to take care of the plan. It’s so exciting to me.
Oh I’m excited so I probably won’t be using those plant things anytime soon, but I just wanted to let you know I had them still all right. So this is my food category. These are one of my favorite things, these little like market boxes like oh they’re, so cute, and then I’ve got some like little paper bags for like bringing lunch to work and stuff. I’ve also got these cute little cutlery wands. Oh, I’ve got more of these guys more cutlery.
More of these kind see I they’re my favorite there’s really cute little food trucks, which I wish I lived or like worked really close to a place. I had food trucks because I think food trucks are kind of awesome, so but yeah, and then these cute little crock pots, which are kind of fun. I don’t do like a ton of crock pot things I feel like I should. I need to like go on. Pinterest or something, and then I’ve got these cute little like coffee guys, which sometimes I like go to a coffee place or something to like, hang out with a friend or just like, go there, while my like oils being changed in my car or something I mean, I don’t drink coffee cuz, I can’t handle it, but you know I’ll get like a smoothie or like a tea or something or just have something else, and then these are really cute little mugs that have like a little colorful insides.
You know if you want to denote anything like that. Alright and then my next category is animals, so we’ve got like little paw prints for like your little kitty or your puppy or whoever these are really cute. They are like little stethoscopes and inside, like the little turn of the stethoscope, is a little paw print as well, and then I have these really random cows, and I think I ordered them for something that I like can’t remember for the life of me.
What I ordered them for so they’re, just in the air, I cannot recall um, but she’s got a lot of really fun stuff on her website. I love them. I think they’re great, but I’m like what did I? What was I going to use that for, and I think I forgot – I don’t know – uh previous Emily – I don’t know what was going on with her here. Is my sports categories or like athletics categories, so I’ve got a bunch of tennis shoes.
I also have a bunch of little like itty-bitty footballs, and then here I have some of their racetrack stuff, which is like more NASCAR inspired. I am into NASCAR. I haven’t readed it in a really long time because my favorite dry driver Dale jr., he retired this past year, so I haven’t really been like catching up with it. This year is like, I think, he retired at the end of 2016 – oh no, sorry, 2017, and so this year I just haven’t been into it, but I feel like I need to read it more, but anyway more footballs and then I also have.
I think I have a full collection, yeah of the race stickers and then more footballs, and you probably wondering why do you have so many footballs? And I think I was going to do something in my planner and then I forget, I don’t know I forget a lot of things, your guy, but now I have them. So if something comes up where I’m at a sporting event, I can put them in all right and then the next category is health.
So I have these little really cute little like pads that have like a little heart in them to like track your cycle, and then these are just kind of similar to the dog ones or the cat ones like the little vet ones. So you have like a little stethoscope, but then this has like the little cross in it, so I’ve actually gone through a couple of sheets of these, and I have oh, I have. I have several of them: okay, cool, but I have gone through a few sheets of these, so yeah, but I love those they’re nice I mean if you’re sick, it sucks being sick anyway is a, but it is nice when you can actually put something.
That’s really cute in your planner oops, alright and then these are the seasonal ones that I have of hers. So it’s like seasons and other like random things in here. So I have a bunch of these like carnival ones which to me is seasonal, because it just reminds me of a State Fair. I also have these little trees, which are super cute. You could use them really for anything, but I just thought that they would be good in the seasonal.
Also, these s’mores and campfires to me is seasonal. I don’t, but it just it just works with me. Also, these little banners kind of remind me of birthday banners. So that’s why it’s in the seasonal and then the little school bus is also a seasonal to me, because that’s how my brain works and yeah. So, let’s put those to the side. I’ve got these really cute little full boxes that are, you know, kind of more fall themed.
These are more summery themed with like little sailboats and things like that, and then these I think she came out with last year yeah. I think these two she came out with last year, which are really cute. I still haven’t used them. I just haven’t found like a good spread to use them in, but they’re like these little vintage houses and like they’re kind of like little washy strips, which is really cute, and then I also have these really cute little date covers and st.
Patrick’s boxes holiday boxes. This is like a new holiday set that she has for this year. I don’t know, maybe it’s new to me, but I love the muted colors. I think it’s so pretty, but yeah be like perfect, for you know if you want to like decorate or or like when you’re decorating, to be like Oh decorate, the house – or I don’t know whatever – and this is like totally me – baby, it’s cold outside yep.
That’s kind of how Minnesota is and then oh here’s another little collection that she has for this. I don’t know if it’s this year that she came up with this or maybe it’s left over from last year. I don’t know, but it’s really cute, but it’s like so me. I like love this little one that says Happy Holidays right there, that’s, like kind of my aesthetic and my jam’ are like these colors. So that was really nice and then I love these ones and this so stinkin cute and then also she’s got this other one in the bigger one that just as Happy Holidays with the tree, which I think is really nice.
I mean I like all of them, but you know if you want to be a little bit more neutral. That is, you know of a way to do it. Alright, so those are put back so yeah. I have seasonal health, sports, animal food, poem, work, script, words, flags, full boxes, and then I have my like miscellaneous in there. My half boxes and event stick.
