    💌 [open for (1) new message]
    i'm so excited to finally share this with you! my summer project is finally coming to fruition. i feel like this vlog was kinda all over the place because i filmed it over such a long period of time. i started designing stickers back in july and slowly started adding new elements to my shop, like scrunchies and beaded rings. i worked super hard to prepare this launch, but i'm also aware there is a high chance that things don't go perfectly according to plan. hopefully i won't encounter too many complications with the launch crossing fingers
    but i'm excited for you to see all that i've made!

    take care,

      Same, my income is way too little to ever start one. Especially with school debt and necessities/other payment. I think im just going to slowly buy stuff throughout the years and design stuff as well. Then eventually, ill start making them.

      Same. I wanted to have my own business related to comfort characters merchandise, BUT Italy sucks on giving life to small businesses. So I have to wait to have more money to actually start,and it made me so mad! I actually cried! But that's what we have. I get everything ready, but taxes here are HELL on earth. Impossible to live to. But I hope Annika gets all the success. I enjoy looking at what she's doing, is so good. So i decided to support her by subscribing. Basically in Italy for opening a small shop online you need the vat number, but that costs,like A LOT! And well ... waiting is patience they say, and you can't do much but simply wait.

    I think the most helpful thing about this video is seeing you get through the parts that aren't as much fun. I'm in the same process and sometimes I think that if I'm not passionate about every little thing I'm doing I shouldn't be doing it. NOT SO of course, there are always things that are just mind numbing in any line of work, but they need to get done.

    This is my first video of yours I’ve seen and I’m freaking out; we’re literally the same person... we went to the same store and bought the SAME exact fabric, made the same things, and have an interest in making kawaii stickers with our cutting machines
