Is anyone interested in live streams anymore? I was thinking of trying some again since my prerecorded real-time art lessons are performing poorly. In the past, I've kept them to the week days around noon because it fit my schedule, but I think they might perform better in the evenings or maybe a weekend. Please let me know what you think!

Big Deal Post, Scroll by if you don’t want to be tempted. I will be updating this list throughout the week.



Amazon Prime Days run July 8th-11th, 2025. Some sales are for everyone, and others are for Prime members only. I am seeing the prices available in the USA Amazon, so if you are outside of the US you may have different sales. The best deals on name-brand stuff are open to everyone, and I found some doozies! Some of the Prime members' savings will cover a month of Prime, so I recommend checking if it's worth saving to join for a month if there are many items on your wish list. There are lots of deals on general merchandise too, so factor other needs into whether it's a good time to shop. I am using affiliate links in this post, which means I will earn on any products you buy after clicking one of my links at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support:)
