Rainy days are for creating!

Be prepared for more posts of behind the scenes so people can stop fussing at me for using Ai.

I spend hours when I do chose to custom design vs buying a design from one of my favorite creators.

What is one hobby you plan to try someday? 🤔

Hey y'all.... I am getting ready to head outside and start stuff while Bug heads off to his farm sitting jobs and then to work. Don't forget that the website is 20% off this weekend so we can afford these repairs. My small business is what pays for us to farm (and all our side hustles cause well honestly business has been slow this year).

Thanks for all your love and support!!!! Every like, share, comment, purchase means so much to me!

🎉 SURPRISE, FRIENDS! 🎉
The Zoo is getting a glow‑up this weekend!

Apparently snowcrete + 7‑year‑old structures = absolute disrespect, so we’re rolling up our sleeves for some demo, some rebuilding, and a whole lot of “why is this crooked?” energy. The animals are supervising, of course… which means everything takes twice as long and involves snacks.

To help cover the cost of these big repairs (because the business funds the Zoo), I’ve put the entire website on SALE — 20% off all weekend!

🛒 Website orders only!
🛒 20% off everything!
🛒 Right now!
🛒Includes The Big Purple Barn, A Sanctuary merch! (they still get 50% of sale price of their designated items)

So go peek at all the goodies, treat yourself, treat a friend, treat your favorite chaotic farm… and help us keep the critters comfy in their freshly upgraded spaces.

Go shop, share, and spread the love — your support truly keeps this place running 💜🐾

Important Reminder:

We no longer ship straws with our tumblers. There are many reasons for this.

🥃Straws no longer come with the cups when I order them

🥃Straws can raise the cost of one tumbler being shipped by $3 - yes even $5. With the USPS price raises, I can either raise your price for shipping or skip the straw.

🥃We are not doing this to cut corners. For me to get a straw to you for a tumbler, it adds anywhere between $3 and $8 to an order! Between packaging, shipping to you, and ordering straws. I don't raise your price to account for this.

🥃We use these straws here at the Zoo. https://a.co/d/05FmvogB As you can see, it would cost you the same to order a straw with your tumbler vs ordering a whole batch of them

We have mentioned this several times in the past. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you are ordering multiple things with your tumbler, or multiple tumblers, we do throw in straws because the box size accommodates for that.

I am really trying hard not to raise my prices. With fees for website, card processing and shipping all going up, this was one step we decided to take to keep prices where they are. I have only raised my prices $2 on average in 8 years.

Thank you for the love and support.

If you could redecorate any room in your home without worrying about money....which room would it be? 🏠

Y'all.. I am struggling today. Designing your tees are just not coming easy. I have been at the computer since 7 am..

If I owe you a design, I will have it to you by end of day tomorrow. This tired mama needs to take a break and a nap!

Sometimes we just have to take a break and let our brains rest!

And I will be working on a discount album for the rest of August this weekend
