Welcome to the second Transcribes users workshop. I'll start again. My name is Melissa Terris, I'm a professor of digital cultural heritage at the University of Edinburgh and I'm delighted to be part of the REIT project over the past eight years as we have developed the tools and techniques for automated handwriting recognition and the Transcribes platform. So this is the second meeting of the users of the Transcribes platform. We're now at over 17,000 registered users of the site. This is a really fascinating cohort and a wonderful cohort when we said that this meeting was happening, it's sold out within two days. So people who are here, thank you for signing up quickly. The issue is the hunger and the interest that there is and now using our digitized content in a way where we can get access to the writing. So what we're going to do first off is we have a couple of opening papers. We have a paper from Gunter, the leader of the project, who's going to talk about highlights of over the past year and what's been happening with the REIT project and what's been happening with Transcribes. And then we're going to talk about the REIT co-op, so that's the financial model and the community model where we're going to work towards working together with the grant clinicians and then we'll have time for some questions for all of us too. So without further ado, I'd like to welcome Peter to come up to talk about REIT and Transcribes highlights of 2018 and future outlook. Thank you. I realize that some people are here who have never heard anything actually directly from Transcribes and REIT, so I repeat maybe just three sentences that REIT is an EU project which started in 2016 and here you see the list of partners, as you see a number of universities and archives from over Europe and we got quite a lot of money, 8 million euro, which was spent about 60% for research, the actual computer science research, about 20% went into the Transcribes platform and about 20% into dissemination and network building. Our goal from the very beginning was to set up the research infrastructure which shall cover the whole workflow from digitization to getting enriched text and being able to search a collection. So we really wanted to cover the whole workflow and our ambition was that you get the chance to do all steps within the platform without the need to use other tools. And one important objective was to set up the culture of cooperation and this means for me that I believe that this technology, which is amazing and as you may know I'm not a computer scientist, but I've studied actually literature, German literature, I'm working since 20 years in this domain of civilization and so I feel like a translator between technology and humanities. But this technology really will change everything and I know that our claim that we will revolutionize access to these documents could be misunderstood as a simple marketing claim. On the other hand it is really my... I'm really convinced that this is happening and it's not only happening because we are doing something but because so many people are doing something and because the whole development goes in this direction. But to make it a real success I believe that we need to incorporate across the different sectors and there are different sectors with different interests on historical documents. So researchers, many of these people have different interests compared to archives and libraries and private persons looking for their family history have different interests and of course computer scientists also have different interests. But we can meet in the middle or we can meet with the platform and that was really the idea more or less six years ago after the click of meeting in Valencia. We said okay that's our mission and that's where we want to go. Yeah, Melissa already mentioned it. It's really great to see that we doubled our registered users more or less every year and a bit more than 2000 in 2015 we expect that this year 17,000 people will be registered in the platform and it's really amazing how many people are approaching us and how many really really interesting projects are considered or tested or maybe in preparation and so on. So the idea that text recognition is really at the heart of many people seems to be a valid idea. I have summarized just for this September some of the activities in the platform to give you an idea what happened just a month ago and you can see that usually about 170 people currently more because we were on the news are registering per week. These about 450 people are actually active users per week so we are really working with the expert client and they run more than 1000 layout analysis jobs and about 600-700 handwritten text recognition jobs. What is also interesting is that about 100,000 or 92,000 images were uploaded by users just in September so about 20-25,000 images per week and this is independent of any large project so it's really what users are doing with the expert client and passing the button and working with the clients. But what is even more interesting is that some of you know that they have the permission to train models so we didn't make this really available feature because of course we do not want to over stress our servers and training is of course something which requires a lot of computing power. So if people are approaching us and writing an email that they want to train their own models we give them permission and you can see that in September more than 140 HDR models were trained by users within 70 collections of the 2K2 models in the collection and I think about 24 different languages so we see that people are working really with old languages with Arabic, with Hebrew, with of course all European languages and very much with very peculiar and special scripts like there were also people from high-fair I think working with Bangla and so on and it seems to work so of course with every model it makes sense but a lot of them make sense and this leads me to one of the also one of the main key points in the project that the data are really the most important thing from my point of view. I mean of course we are all happy with the software and what is happening there but software in Arabic this will change so today you will hear that we have now the third generation of HDR processing in transcribers and the progress is great but what really remains from my point of view is of course the data and the knowledge of how to process this data but the data as we all know and as we can read it every day in the newspaper other than the new internet economy is very much based on data and I think it is one of our main again missions or objectives that you are the only and you remain the only of your data and we are those who will support you to do most out of your data but it is still your data that you want to have here a kind of transparency which is maybe not completely always the case with other internet companies or whatever. So the current host data, your transcriptions and of course other things are highly valuable and this really surprised me that the models which were trained in September had 16525 pages of control so as you know to create one page of control is of course some work so one hour is maybe a good estimation so people worked just for September 3.8 years on control's data I think that's something which shows the value if you just multiply it with 20 euro you come to 107,000 euro and so there is really value generated in the platform and that I think goes on more or less every month and hopefully it will increase. We have concluded a number of MOUs so Memorandum of Understanding with more than 70 institutions all over the world also here we see a lot of interest and of course we want to transform this into what we now follow my talk here this is what is the future and I will quickly talk about that in some minutes. So in some way I believe we have achieved after these three years our mission which was to make the whole process available to non-technical users and to allow you to carry out the whole workflow. I'll just give you some quick images to remind you of what can be done so we are currently producing the first series of this content so civilization made easy with the smartphone a lot of progress was achieved not only with the tent but especially also with the DockScan app so it's really working better now and there will be a number of features which are very useful to scan documents and so on. Then I already mentioned the layout analysis so this is an image I got a typical image I got from a user two weeks ago as you can see this is a contract from Austria and digitized with camera and I think a year ago there was no chance to process that kind of document and how it should invest a button and you see that every line was recognized perfectly and yes of course at the binding you will have troubles to recognize but everyone will understand but in principle it will work nicely with the next recognition but it also works with tables like this and finds the lines and so on then transcription that's something you know and there was not much progress in this of course but this is an interface which is not known to all of you it is the training interface and it is really a simple tool to select pages which were transcribed and to start the training process so that's actually the easiest path in the whole process and of course the funny part because what you get is kind of learning curve so it's a visualization what the computer does and of course you get the figures how good the model is and one of the progress was this year that is the new version you can also do some advanced narrow rate measuring you get not only more figures which is not always useful because you need to understand what is the difference between the figures but before it was much easier just with the character array but anyway it also enables you to export the data to get an understanding of if you have more pages then you can get better of you and work in a more systematic way this year I have to say that one of the highlights will be the improved recognition so Umbram will talk afterwards about HDR Plus and it's now some of you already know it from personal contacts with us that this new HDR is coming and we are able to install it it is now running the training process is running on a GPU server so this goes rather fast and the results are really amazing you will see the figures afterwards but I just can tell you it is similar to last year's baseline detection it's really a major, major progress so this is one example of a text from the 18th century German text and you can see there are some red words but if you have a closer look you will see that often it is just one character and the character array for this page which is below 5% which means that even people who are not able to read this text are able to understand what is written here the same works also for printed text you can see here it goes down to really amazing besides just trained on 100 pages then I already mentioned that the web interface is coming so this is a quick preview on simplified transcription interface in the web which is working very nicely and we will hear a talk from the Netherlands, from the City of Amsterdam they will put it online for cloud users and it will be one of the tests for this interface I'm sure that they will like it and it will work very nicely then what was implemented last year also was this keyword spotting feature that some of you maybe tried out also I have to say that not too many people are actually using it I will talk about this in the afternoon a bit more but it enables you really to find words which are badly transcribed and of course exporting is possible as well one progress was here that you can come and see your own XSL T transformation and get your own export now some words in the future of transcribers we were this year talking a lot about the governance model and I have to say that four years ago when I was writing the proposal for a read we were writing the proposal for a read together but this section was on my part because I thought ok I have to write something about the sustainability of this research infrastructure and I wasn't happy to write that we would found this being of as a company but association it's hard to write a company as an association a foundation is of course sometimes a solution there are a number of European initiatives which are like a Europeana which is organized as a foundation what were the criteria for our governance model so I thought it should be something that cooperation is at the heart and to remember the culture of cooperation that's something we want to achieve then I wanted to have an open model so that people can join and institutions can join and that we get a kind of group feeling that we have synergies under our forces then it should be able to allow our CAHPS libraries but also SCOBAs volunteers and so on work together and of course also to be able to make some profit but the profit should not be for the shareholders but it should be for the stakeholders so you here in the room and the idea was then to set up something with a cooperative society and fortunately we found out that there is an EU regulation which gives us a good chance and after once we will hear more about this from Professor Dellinger here in Vienna who is an expert on that okay this is the governance model but of course we also exist as a model to keep this as a thing to expand it and so on so what are the sources of income because it was another thinking which we did in the last month and of course everything is under discussion and this conference is also very much dedicated to get feedback from you and in Frank and Rogen we also are I think putting the things on the table and I have before you feedback so of course we would like to have a freemium model the services are free for single users and so the barriers are low to best and run some processes on the transcripts platform so we want to be open here but on the other hand if it comes to professional use if a specific amount of data is reached then some processing fees probably will appear of course the amount has to be discussed I wouldn't like to say some figures now but we are open for discussions then of course some institutions are approaching us for a specific project so customer projects, large-scale projects where more work is done for a specific customer and we have done our tests with the high performance cluster in its program we can say that we can easily process 200,000 pages a day or even more so the sources are here and the opportunities are here to be earned of course we are happy and this is something which is in an academic environment very usual that we are part of grant applications so of course we are looking also from our side for grant applications but we are also happy to be part of your grant application and actually all the people are coaching us for this so that's something I believe is of course interesting for us and we will sell the scan tent and hope that it will be something which is useful for a number of people so these are some ideas on how we would like to generate only four different schedules back from or from it all if it becomes the definitive governance model so 2019 and beyond of course we want to found a great goal together with you we are already involved in the new site project so this is an EU project dealing with newspaper digitalization and newspaper enrichment again the colleagues from Bostock are there as well and we will have the pleasure to benefit from their work somehow as well so architecture recognition and layout analysis for printed documents especially newspapers will be something which will be available in 2019, 2020 then we are very happy that we get the first project with the National Act for Finland so the ministry decided that they want to give one screws a try and we will set up first large scale or large scale but at least the first project is 800,000 pages of core track codes and make them available with keeper spotting so train the models run the models and set up a specific site for this and a message which I got just two days ago that we also get funding from the Tyrolian government so a local call but the nice thing is that we are already able to convince them that the mid-code is in foundation and there we will set up a project with disaster documents and we are currently negotiations with a number of institutions in the Netherlands in Ireland, in Canada and in Greece and some other countries also for setting up a large project so I see actually a good chance to make a successful transition from the CodeCheck to an ongoing service but of course it is a challenge it is also new for us we will see but we have some good opportunities so thank you a lot for this Thanks for that, good job we will go straight on to the next presentation which is about more about the mid-code and then we will have time for a couple of questions before coffee table so I would now like to introduce Marc Castelliger I am sorry from Austria from the Austrian Riva as in the band it is not Riva's association it is the umbrella organization of Riva as in Austria whatever you can say Thank you sir, I should have practiced that before I can have the language Good morning everybody I am Marc Castelliger as was mentioned before and I am grateful to have the opportunity to talk about a total different world I think I am coming a little bit from another world as you can judge by the tie probably the only one I know has spotted another well, it is a different world it is the legal world but maybe it is of some service for you well, my career started also at the university so I am a little bit familiar with university procedures I have worked there for 15 years and became an expert in cooperatives and edited this book for example about Austrian cooperatives it would be much easier for me to found an Austrian cooperative very easy, very much of experience but you are intending to do something new the first the building of foundation in Austria which is quite an interesting project also for me I am now working almost 16 years at the Austrian Rifeisen Association which is as I have mentioned before an umbrella organization for the whole Rifeisen Group in Austria there are many banks but also institutions the agricultural field of business and the Austrian Rifeisen Federation provides audit services for all the members this is important this will also fit and apply to an SCE becoming member of the Austrian Rifeisen Association the audit services we also do training and we give for example legal advice that is my duty as you can guess well let's start the agenda we are planning to do in the upcoming 30 minutes I want to give you a short overview of what are the legal characteristics of cooperatives then the second part will be why is an SCE the proper legal form for what you are intending to do and the third part will be a short overview over the draft statutes of the weed co-op which have been prepared in the last months well so let's start with the legal characteristics of the cooperative I found the definition of cooperatives prepared by the international cooperative alliance and they say cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet the common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations that we owned at democratically controlled antitrust this definition is fitting pretty well it's just what a cooperative is we will have a closer look to that the first part is is all about meeting your own needs meeting the common economic, social and cultural needs you can see that a cooperative basically is a self help organization a cooperative always interferes makes business with their own members it's normal to have related parties transactions it's for a limited liability company or a joint stock company it's always dangerous to have related parties transactions their own shareholders you have restrictions it's always necessary to deal at arms length to treat their own shareholders as if they were foreigners dealing at arms length this is not the case in a cooperative a cooperative is built for doing business to make well business with their own members to provide services for them to create member value and this creation of member value should be a direct creation of member value it's not that we make profit in a cooperative and then we pay dividends to the shareholders but we create the member value directly by making something that members need meeting the needs of the members that's the purpose of a cooperative immediate creation of well value for the members and the second characteristic which is very important for cooperatives is the open membership it was mentioned before by Dr. Müllberger that you have a high interest in being open for the access of everybody interested in the TransTribus platform so I think that really a cooperative the adequate legal form for you because it's much easier to become member of a cooperative than to have access to a limited liability company accessing a limited liability company would create a need to change the statutes if it's goes along with an increase of the share capital this is a rather complicated procedure in a cooperative you just apply for membership and the board of directors says ok yes, come in it's very easy and it goes along with a variable capital you're just paying more shares so the share capital rises and then if somebody wants to leave it's also possible you just leave, you get your shares back after 6 months the minimum period allowed from the law you get your money back and you leave the cooperative if you say ok you have promoted me enough it's it's enough from that side so the capital is always variable and this is the reason for a very simple approach to membership transactions in capital companies limited liability companies or joint stock companies the transactions are always at the market value it's always very difficult to find out what is the enterprise and what is the worth the value of the enterprise you have to expand lots of money for experts telling you ok what's the value the market value and in a cooperative you do all this stuff very easily because you do it at nominal value it's in our draft it's 250 euro one share you pay in 250 euros and if you leave you get out 250 euros quite simple well connected with that one is that you can't have a purpose to make any profits or to make money by increase of share prices there is no increase the shares are always 250 euros that remains the same throughout the history of the cooperative unless you change the nominal value of the commandment to your status ok the next point was the autonomy and the democratic control we always speak of self-administration in cooperatives and this feature of self-administration comes out in the people the members themselves are the only ones being able to be elected in the board of directors we have to be a member of the cooperative to become the board member in the cooperative the people themselves the members themselves administrate their cooperative and the decisions in the general assembly follow the democratic principle in former times we had one man, one road as a slogan in the democracy field also in national politics and it's the same in cooperatives normal strict model is one member one vote regardless of how many shares you have for the SCE this strict concept is softened somehow it's not so strict in the SCE you can have up to five votes for the bigger members but everybody counts also normal natural person becoming a member he or she also has got one vote so this is similar to our democracy where we don't have more votes in public elections because we are paying more taxes or some of us are paying more taxes this has been abolished I think in the 1910s something like that the origins were also in our national politics like that so this is our democratic control democratic way of decision making in the general assembly of equality well the SCE regulation is as a regulation directly applicable it's european law directly applicable and it is more or less a common essence of european cooperative laws I had the opportunity to find the negotiations over the SCE regulation some 16 years ago I think the negotiations finished then it was really an amazing process with people from all over Europe fighting and arguing why their cooperative law is the best one and we should keep their own ideas and this is a european compromise it's the essence of all the cooperative laws of Europe and so as I've seen in the first report from Dr. Müllberger you are coming from all over Europe so it will be really adequate to have such kind of european compromise as your basic legal form best of european cooperative laws in the SCE regulation for example you have the chance to select whether you want to have a dualistic system with a managing board and a supervisory board as we are used to in Austria and Germany or you can have the one-tier system the monistic system the private sector is one administrative board as a whole doing the managing and the supervision all in one the registered office of your cooperative if you decide to have one could be as I've learned in Austria this has some importance because being registered in Austria means that this is an Austrian SCE and the Austrian cooperative law the Austrian well executive laws will be supplementary applicable to that cooperative so it's the european regulation and supplementary also an Austrian law for example this means for you that an Austrian SCE would have to apply for membership in a so called revisionsverband we the Austrian association are such kind of revisionsverband revisionsverband means we are organizing the audit for the cooperatives being our members we have auditors as our clerks and they do an independent work nobody can interfere with what they are doing there is nobody who says down or up it's not possible independent audit of these clerks of our association and they are well trained and they do more than a normal auditor does the normal auditor in the company world only checks whether everything is legal and whether the accounting is correct and the accounting principles are complied with in a cooperative there is an additional feature in a cooperative the auditor also at least in an Austrian the same in Germany in an Austrian or German cooperative the auditor also checks whether there is the fulfillment of the promotion purpose and he or she would also check the expediency and the economic efficiency of the management and this creates or it is supposed to create some portion of extra trust for all the members if there is an economic auditing or what is done in the cooperative is the money used well that's the question is the management really encouraged are they doing well this is the question a normal auditor wouldn't like to interfere because he wants to be selected one more time don't tell the manager that he's doing rubbish well in a cooperative managers sometimes get this message from the special auditor okay then we have a short time for a short look for the main contents of the draft statutes that have been prepared first the name to be read co-op sce with limited liabilities nobody has to be afraid that there will be extra payment in case of insolvency our cooperative is just 250 euro per share you can lose that obviously the cooperative should go bankrupt but not anymore and by the way it shouldn't happen at least austrian cooperatives are on the last rank of all the legal forms in the statistics of insolvencies maybe also because of the strict audit okay then the sce will be set up in the monistic system as i've heard in your last meeting this was preferred by a felt majority well it is possible to have this monistic system with just an administrative board doing all the management and also the supervision then most important the purpose of the sce well everybody should find his or her interests in this clause this should be what you really want to do the purpose of the sce is to satisfy the needs of its members and to promote economic, scientific and cultural activities in particular with regard to digitization digitization or i don't know digitization, transcription, recognition and searching his or her documents some other purposes follow or subject matters the ongoing operation of the transcribers platform for example the provision and operation of the necessary technical facilities then i felt that you also want to make business with non-members people from outside it should be possible to use transcribers also for people who are not member and this has to be stated in the statutes expressively that you want to do business outside if you want to be open you have to have this clause the capital stock often sce has to be at least 30.000 euro it is denominated in euro and as i told you before the capital stock is reliable you don't need an amendment to the articles of association if the share capital rises for example because new members apply for membership and pay in their shares so you will see many changes here in the other direction you have a minimum requirement of 30.000 euro so it may happen that some members wanting to leave the cooperative will have to wait for their money because the amount of share capital would fall below this threshold of 30.000 euro and this is not possible this is not allowed falling below this threshold so they would just have to wait until new members join or old members pay in more shares so that it is possible to pay back the shares for them without falling below the threshold i think there was an automatic translation spread in preparation for this meeting the automatic translation in this point is rather misleading so maybe you understand better what is meant when you read the slides okay then for the shares they will have the nominal value of 250 euros that the amount number of shares an institution has to pay in differs according to the number of employees the institution has i think you can discuss the figures it's just a proposal but it's maybe a smart approach to have some some relation between the number of employees the number of users of an institution and the numbers of shares that have to be paid in a natural person just one share just 250 euros to become a member well there is also provision in the draft statutes about voting rights and these voting rights should also relate somehow to the number of shares so that the bigger institutions having had to pay in more shares will have greater voting rights up to the limit of five votes for the biggest of all there will also be possibility of investing members who are not eligible for the use of transcripts they are just supporters of the idea of transcripts but they are not able to use it for themselves and in that case we speak of investing members it's possible to invest in such kind of cooperative kind of strange investment because it's not for making big profits but maybe you have institutions, foundations maybe if you apply for grants anyway that somebody will give money to the SCE and then it will be possible for this investing member also to have shares and to have some voting rights here we would suggest to have greater amount of shares and in the relation less voting rights and it's also important that the whole group of investing members if there will be a whole group I don't know the whole group of investing members under no circumstances can have more than 25% of the voting rights so there is no threat of being governed by people who are not really interested in transcribals but only in their money this can't happen or should not happen in an SCE cooperative then we have a place of the General Assembly will normally be at the registered office and the registered office is planned to be in Innsbruck so Innsbruck is a beautiful town and maybe everybody wants to come to Innsbruck every year but if not so if you don't want to spend your whole budgets on the expenses it should also be possible to have electronic participation in a virtual General Assembly and I think this could be a smart idea well I think for further details just join the workshop following after the coffee break thank you so much

What is up, a welcome back. Do you like to do a villa to make it? So do we. We have new videos each week. Today is another test cut Tuesday and I'm feeling pretty smart. Got my spectacles on. All right, you wanna tell them why you're wearing your glasses?  Now I scratched my cornea or something. My eye really hurts. I was using the saw. Things happen. All right, let's see who we have. Let's see who we, I lost my chat. Welcome to my magic mirror. We're not on Facebook today.  We're not having another repeat of last week. It was a disaster. We're just back to YouTube. We'll repost the replay over on the Facebooks. All right, let's see. Who do I have? Let's see who do I see in my magic mirror. I see drone guy 26, Tyra, Bonnie, Maria, Steve, Nipah, hey. Bojack, Kate's, is that what that is? Kate's, uh-huh. Yeah. Did I already say Maria? No. Kim Lance, Nicole, Minnesota makes, that's Chris. Jennifer, Amy Tiny Hands Baker, Eva, Tracy, Helen, Hannah, Cassandra, Patricia, Christina, Veronica. Did I already say Donna? If not Donna, Trudy with Van's Chat, Tara, Melissa, Christian, Scott, what's up guys, Mandy? Oh, that's Jay Money. Before wise. Cat, Barry, who else? Anthony Edwards, fresh out of surgery. He just did a, oh, while he's doing open by, open heart by pan surgery. Good luck, eyes on the prize. Crafting with Gene, Mark, I think, Tasha, Jim. Did you get Tara, Tara, two terrors? Oh, two terrors. Music, Chick, Art. Oh, Patricia L, different Patricia. What's up, Lori? Oh, Eva, Lori, there's a ton of them. You gotta get on with it. Michelle, Brooke. TJ's Woodworking Shop, all right, I am out. Wait, hold up. You got a couple more, just you gotta have three more. Out by Angelina, Backyard Woodworks. That's it, that's it. That's it, all right, I think I got it, buddy. Hope we got you all. If you didn't hear your name, hit that like button. If you did hear your name, hit that like button. I'm getting you the way. Swingin' that thumbs up, that's right. So we were gonna kick off the Battle of the Colorway challenge. We were doing that, did we even have one? Yeah, up front. You want me to grab it real quick? Yeah, we'll grab one. We're gonna do a Battle of the Colorway challenge. We're gonna do our entry, but of course, Kim had to take it to the next level. So, I don't know, you tell me if this is cheating. I'm kind of thinking it's fair game. We'll show you what the original is with part of the Battle of the Colorway challenge. Oh, this was Jay Money's idea. So everybody tag Jay Money when you post your creation. And so, you're supposed to just pick colors and do one of these guys. But Kim was like, that's not enough. Well, what I said was- This was the last minute. Last minute, she said that- There's so many good ones. We have to one up. We have to cheat and we're gonna one up. Cheat, did you hear that? We're not playing Monopoly with this lady. I was like, we can't, I mean, how many different colorways can you do? There's so many amazing ones. We were never, we're just gonna blend in. So, I mean, we have these, as you can see. Here's a nice blue on blue, which I love. Oh, let me know about the video quality on both the overhead and the main camera and the audio. I swapped out everything. I don't think it's been swapped out. Like 20 minutes ago. That's why we're a little bit late. I was still setting up the new mics and stuff. So- Put this back here. Does it look better? Does it sound better? I don't know how to swapping. Wanna see if you're overhead? Let's see. We're good, because we can talk about- You should see the whole table and my hat shouldn't get in the way. Oh, look at you. Oh, look at that. Are you kind of on an angle?  That's okay, I guess. See up there? I don't know. I think it's okay. And I can't see what's happening over there. Can you close the chat over there? Sure. While we're here in overhead, I can show you guys what I was thinking. So these peeps, I didn't cheat too bad. I didn't create anything new. We have these as a file, these three peeps. So I shrunk them down to like 4.75 inches. Three little peeps. And I'm gonna put them right here where the daisy goes. We're actually just gonna sit on top of the daisy. Let me pull this forward. So this daisy is built into the center banner. They're gonna sit on top of that.  And then I just cut the word. Well, I guess I did create the word peeps. I just cut it. Not a big deal. Not a big deal. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. Just a little bit of cheating. Nothing to be worried about. When you switch, there was no sound. Oh. Wait, wait, sounds back. Let me do a quick check. I'm looking at the overhead. I think it looks great. I can see it. And then maybe the front video's a little hazy. No, I think that was okay too. Just the overhead. You still have a mic? I swapped mics. The, my laptop is like a 30 second delay. So I just watched myself make that crazy face. Overhead is a smidge dark. All right, that's, we'll correct that a different day. Don't even touch that right now. You sure? Yeah, I'm sure. He's doing it anyway. Overhead properties. Oh, I can't, oh, I can. All right. All right, you guys, you got it. That's brighter. All right, give me three seconds. Three seconds, mister. You need three steps? Yeah, that looks great. You can see how dirty our table is now. Perfect. I can see your phone over there. Wow, we can see everything. Okay, this is a little far away. I'm still out of shot. You could get it closer, but what's out of shot? When I do a front facing, out of shot. Oh, okay. Any lower or no be. All right, thank you guys for your patience. We'll get it around. Yeah, thanks for the help. Little technical assistance. Back to our regularly scheduled technical problems. Looks good, sounds good. Off subject, Kim, are you looking like you're prepping for swimwear? Hey, did somebody notice? I did, but it's some weight, so thanks. Appreciate it. We're both prepping. I just told him, I was like, I mean, sure, I've lost a little weight, but nobody can tell. Here, he says he can tell. I can tell. Say it all the time. We have three new colors that we're trying out. Mandy says, IDKF. So you guys are hearing everyone's rapper name today. Oh yeah, rapper name. Cause Garrett posted a little post this morning. I woke up thinking about my rapper name. He said, I'm thinking, if this YouTube thing doesn't work out, I'm gonna switch to be a rapper.  And he was, and because he's such a video nerd now, he was like, I've got to get all the SEO in. So I'm gonna go Little Ice Pop. Little Ice, Little Ice Pop. That's where he started. And then I was like, well, that's not everything. I think you need- L.I.L. Yeah, L.I.L. And then I said, you need big in there. I mean, you got to get all the bigs in there. So what did you end up with? Little Ice Big Pop. Little Ice Big Pop. That's right. It's my sampler name. So Mandy, so he said, ask everyone else what their rapper name would be. But so we've had some funny entries. Do you remember what Christian's was? No, I got lost in all of his AI generated. Yeah, all his images. He was like, nerdic, nerd of something. It was a- Maxedorium or something. Max and- Look, just put your rap name in the comments. Yeah, you can- I think somebody's gotta give Kim a rap name. Oh, I got video Kim rapping. She won't let me post it. No. I went over to put mine in, but then I think I got a phone call or something and I had it didn't come back. Garrett. I was shaking. I showed them before I had to shake the paints. Mandy says she's Mrs. J. Money with a three Y's or M Money or double M Money with a bunch of Y's. We're my old phone number spelled 50 cent. So she's 50 cents. 50 cents. Speaking of that, you wanna hear something funny. So our youngest now is working at Cracker Barrel as a hostess. At the Barrel. At the Barrel, that's what Garrett's calling it. So she's 16 and now she has a little bit of money, but she's not looking to spend too much money and she really wants a Stanley. A Stanley. Stanley Mugs. And she's like, I don't know if she's, I hope she's watching. I hope she joined in. She's home sick today. Yeah. She's gonna be watching. She's home sick today. So she wanted a Stanley and she goes, those things are like $50. I can't spend that kind of money. And then next thing I know, I see this package come in from Timu. Timu. Or if you watch the Super Bowl, it's Timu. Timu. So I see a package come in and I was like, would you get Grace? And she said, I got a knock off Stanley. So Garrett's been calling it her Stanley. Stanley. All right, don't forget your Stanley. Don't forget your Stanley. Actually, her Stanley's in the other room. She's got to forget her Stanley. I was gonna steal it and put the Stanley logo on it, but with an M. Yeah.  Yeah, I was gonna use the F1 to put it on real quick. Alan says he likes Garrett's way of testing the paint bag integrity. Right. That's what I was doing. Now you know, it ships. Now you know if it's broken. What do they do in shipping? If I just juggled one and dropped it and stepped on, you didn't see I stepped on it by accident. And it's still looking okay. What are they doing in shipping if they come in broke? So we've sent out, I don't know, tons and tons and tons of orders. And we got one, I made the mistake of saying something about not going wood so far so good. And over on, I think Saturday I got an email saying, when somebody's apple rate green broke and she couldn't tell what goose gourmet was because I don't even know what that gray was. Like that's the worst one to break, that's the... But it was only two. I only had to replace the two so far so good. No, there's new color, one coat. Yeah, mellow mint. Isn't that beautiful? This is what I wanted, just a few for Easter. You know, you're probably not gonna use these all year but... With the new cameras I could turn off auto focus. There's no auto focus. Up and down. Up and down. In frame, out of frame. Do it, do it, do it. Did anybody see Garrett's reminder? What was that, your reminder story? Did you put it on your story? Yeah, put it on my story. He was hilarious, he was eating his lunch and he goes, wait, hold on. He goes, hold this for me. And then he writes, oh no, could you hand me some post-it notes? Yeah, do you have any post-it notes? Yeah, he takes his tiny hand, he comes into frame. Reminder, Tuscantis Day. I don't want anybody to forget. Let's see, when can I purchase those empty paint packs? I have another paint I would like to put in those. Oh, where can I purchase them? We got ours on Amazon, go look for them. They're drink pouches. We found the wholesaler and the wholesaler is on Amazon. Well, we couldn't find them online any cheaper than what I could find them on Amazon. Yeah, the cheapest one there. Amazon I can hand them in like next day, so. But then the manufacturer's website, when I hit order on the cheapest ones, it would take me to Amazon. We are looking, I think I told you guys the story a couple of weeks ago, we were at the Sally's Beauty Supply and Garrett saw some hair color in these pouches or something similar. He was like, eh, and he stood there trying to figure out who was the manufacturer. Yeah, who was the manufacturer. Where can I get these same pouches? How much are they? I might have said where they're a bottle or package. It's all business, all the time around these books. Now, what you can't see is I was thinking, I'm gonna take it a step further. Doing too much, going too far. I'm gonna take it a step further and maybe do with like a one inch foam brush, like a buffalo clad on here. Oh, wow. That's too much. You're already, you're already skirting the line with cheating. And I was being real loose with skirting the line. Feel like if this were Vegas, you'd have been taken out in an alleyway and put in an Uber and sent home. Wow. New Vegas, New Vegas. Just in, just in. Wait a minute, I'm missing this little guy. One, two, three. Oh no, it, never mind. It goes like this because it has to set up two levels for the high. Oh, that's correct. Where's the high? Right here. Oh, okay. That's two levels. All right, let me see what's happening over here. I got distracted. Do we have any wrapper names yet? Oh, correct. Marie says buffalo clad would be great. Okay. It's funny going backwards because somebody said then I ordered a buffalo chicken salad so I don't, let me keep going. Same thing. Hannah says I've been in bed rest after embryo and I'm pretty sure I'm now seeing every single Kim and Garrett video. I'm sorry. Yeah. Sorry, Hannah. I'm sorry. Someone, especially when you go way back. If you go way back, there was some experimental videos happening and I apologize. Garrett loves to act. He loves to put a gimmick in there. As a matter of fact, the other day. It's gotta be a show. You gotta make it a show. For the video we just filmed, he said, do you think I should do, what were you suggesting? I don't know. Do you think I should come in with something and I was like, no. Oh, ice cream scoop. Oh, that's right. And then when the camera comes back. Should I be holding an ice cream cone? I should be holding an ice cream cone. I was like, no, no.  He got some hate once. I wasn't gonna acknowledge that ice cream cone nor eat it, just be holding it. Okay, so tell them what pink colors you're using. This is my pet purple. This is one of our new jams right here. And then let me get the yellow. I think we're gonna use Psy or something. Yep, you got some like in the mints. Congratulations on the Aonova. Thank you. Oh, thanks. I like that machine. I am very impressed. So we're gonna do a video, another video kind of comparing. Yes. I think that video needs a good comparison video. Just showing a regular laser and then what they've done. Like I have the big lasers out front. We didn't know everything. We didn't know all about this laser until we got this laser. So now we're... I'm impressed. Like if you watch the video, you didn't show. It even comes with a camera. I just didn't calibrate it on film. Oh, I did want to mention that. I forgot. I forgot too. Yes, it does have a in bed camera. Yeah, but like on all of our lasers, we had some exhaust issues. So I taped up all the sides, making all the sides airtight and the back airtight. And I left a couple of spaces up front open to try to keep that airflow going across the material. And everywhere where I put tape on my machine has weather stripping on this machine. And I was like, wow. That's yeah. And then all of the components have their own little compartments. And like on my machine, my tube looks crazy. I'm embarrassed about my tube. My tube won't even go out in public anymore. There was a wave when it goes out now. It's just, it's a whole thing. But this tube is down and out of the way. And I'm going to say every week I have to clean late in my second mirror because it's just hanging out there in the smoke. So every week I have to clean the mirror, maybe the mirror up here. But on that, the Nova, the mirror's tucked back behind all the belts and stuff in this like almost low compartment. Impressive. I don't bunch of things to say about it. Good job. And we were using it on its Wi-Fi, but I went ahead and just put it on our network. And that took about two minutes. Yeah, he did that really quickly. I wanted to give you a comment from Patricia who says, I work at the post office and you don't want to know what they do in shipping. I don't want to know what they do in shipping. I don't know what, I mean, we really have to, the only thing else that I think we can do if we continue to have issues, so far so good though, is change the packaging to something much, much thicker. Well, that's gonna cost more money. I was watching other people's packaging. I was watching how. Can I do this one? I see you getting in the holes and I might lose it. You're getting holes. So I was watching other people's packaging, but they were doing the bottles. But before they ship them out, they do a loose shrink wrap on them. I think maybe we do something similar. Every package gets a shrink wrap? Yes. Well, did you see how our big paints came in? Our last crate was wrapped in plastic. It was like Barbie, very lumpy and looked like five gallon buckets. Well, okay, so hearing that, I wonder if I could like put them in there. Diviners and shrink wrap the whole thing or some somehow. Oh yeah, yeah, you can do that. Contain the mess. Or I was thinking as we cap them, we can send them through a quick little shrink wrapper that I found online. Yeah. It's a wine bottle shrink wrapper. Oh, interesting. Yeah. I'd be surprised what you find on Timu. Timu, Timu, Timu. All right, this is the peach, peaty peach. Peaty peach. It's hard to see, there's a lot of glare there, but there's only one coat, so that'll darken up, I guess, as it dries and with a second coat. All right, what color are these guys?  Is he?   The dark one. The dark one, I'm thinking it should be in this little greenie. No, you wanna say high. Maybe this is too, you're right, it's gonna be way too close to the mint color. I want that high to let you know that it's- These are gonna be too close together. A real sign. All right, hi, here we go. We'll do the foxy tailtide. Oh, well that's a foxy tailtide and then- Oh, we weren't putting the eyes back in because I just threw them away. Yes. Should I go look at it? No, it's fine, it's fine. Then I think the other peep though, should he be in this color? Yeah, be able to peep. The bog is blue. There you go. All right, all right, moving on, moving on. Yeah, somebody said we should definitely engrave it stammily, totally. Patricia said, back to, I'm sorry, I'm going backwards, you guys. Patricia said her son is Lil B. Lil B. Used to be our business name. Mandy said LMO Garrett is a little bit white and a little bit unnerdy. Tell me you guys know that parody song. White and nerdy, a little bit white and nerdy. It happens. All right, back, back, back. Cheating is cheating, yeah. Yes, Lori said, well, it's cheating, L-O-L, but it's so hard when someone posts early, people think, oh, I'll do this. Should be an unseen design and all posted on a certain day. Yes, I think we might do that in the future. But right now, we're all crews all the time, just trying to get there and get everything done. I mean, all prepping for the crews because we have, I think we shared with you guys, we're doing the Laser Craft Fest again in March. They're doing Laser Craft Fest, Distance Edition. And so we had to film a video and edit that video by this Friday, plus film and edit this week's video, plus film and edit next week's video, but the week after be forewarned and we get back from the crews on a Thursday. The video might go out Saturday or Sunday, but basically, I mean, Friday or Saturday, but it's going to be, did I not shake it for you? I'll shake it. That's why boys and girls, we always put it on a plate. What are you talking about? Anyway, we're gonna do the March 1st video for us. It's going to be like a crews recap. That's gonna be, that's the only way we can get them all in and then we'll move on to the next. It's gonna be your only opportunity to see me in my bikini. All right, I'm thinking we should take bets on whether we ever see Garrett in a bathing suit. I don't enjoy the ocean. I ask him, do you have a bathing suit? Do you even have a bathing suit? He said, yeah, I've got like 50 of them because he was in one of the, like a long time ago, a couple of years ago now, right? A couple of years ago. In one of the like clothing, you know, what is it? I don't know, like Stitch Fix, Yes, thank you, Stitch Fix. But for men, it wasn't a Stitch Fix men, it was something else. And five, four. Yeah, five, four. And for, he said for a while there, every, Every box was like a swimsuit and a jacket. And a jacket. You know, you would not believe how many jackets I have. And I only wear hoodies, so jackets didn't make sense. Do you want me to get you another roller? Cause that's like the only piece that we're doing. This is that same color? Yeah. This is better. I gotcha. Okay, I'll let you go. Yeah, let me do my do. Yeah, Trudy says I had a sauce and spice company and I used to bubble wrap every bottle and then put them in their compartments in the boxes. Yeah. Have not had one broke. Yeah, you do. Or break. Yeah, well, that's my goal, but not there yet. We all have goals. When will we have the four ounce big pack be back in stock? We have them on order, but we will not be able to bottle them until after we get back from the cruise. So maybe mid-March. Sorry, it's gonna be probably. Is it a good strap organization? Maybe first or second week in March, but I really think it's gonna probably be second week in March. Other people's packaging. Would that make it down with OPP? Oh yeah. I'm always down with OPP. You wanna show me your OPP? Oh, guess what Hannah said? Her pocket saw just got delivered. We're gonna bring back pocket saw. I got jobs for him. Do you know me? Ansar, oh yeah, mm-hmm. In a bikini with your hat. You gonna be wearing your bikini in a hat? Always. I'll start wearing a hat. I asked him the other day though, which I thought was funny. Or did I? Did I actually ask you? Maybe it didn't. But I was thinking about formal dinner in the dining room. You can't wear your hat. No, I can't. I've been wearing a hat so long that when I don't wear a hat, it's too bright. That's what he says. It's too bright. It's too bright. And I see too much. I feel like a horse with blinders. I only see 50% of the shiny things. So. All right, here, I'll let you do that. Yeah, don't freak me out. Don't spook me. I got spooked while I take my hat off. I said running, you gotta chase me down. Give me a carrot or an apple. That's because I have a little blood sugar from running. Kim said, Garrett and Mike can sit in the beach. Can sit in the beach. What does that mean? So here's the problem. Sit on the beach. That's what you mean, sit on the beach? Yeah. Oh yeah. He might get in and get his feet up to his ankles about as far as he'll go. Yeah, just as far as a shark can go. Well, I just saw this video. This shark followed his, what was he after? I don't know. But man, did he come sliding up onto that shore in the skinny and like this much water. And he slid like this and then grabbed it and then back out. I was like, oh my God, don't show Garrett. I was done with the water one day. I was in the Navy. I was just a spry 19 year old kid, innocent to the world and everything in the ocean. And I don't know where we were, but it was pretty clear water and we could see pretty far down. And we're on one of the lowest like weather decks you can get and we're just sitting there. Our feet are probably four feet off the water. Just sitting there dangling our feet, drinking our drinks, waiting for our shift to be over.  If I wanted to reach up and grab your toes, I could. Yes, I know. Gave us a little pose. Like his head was the size of me. And I was like, oh, that. And then when we would throw trash off the back of the ship, we would see sharks all the time. Tara says you could get a fedora. That's formal appropriate. I do have fedoras. He does have a fedora. He loves a vast and a fedora. Hilarious, yes. Oh, let me do that. Well, monocle. Monocle, no. You'll see him with his monocle. Well, you might have to wear a monocle if your eye isn't better. There'll be two monocles. That would be funny. I could only see out of one eye. Yeah, I would just wear one contact. Oh, right. Here you go. That's right. And then I'd carry a monocle. That would be funny. All right, what else is happening? Mandy's suggesting that we put the sold out order items on pre-order. So I helped to figure out how to do that. So I did have that thought. And that's what I told Garrett because I could send you everything that we have and then just put the items that we don't have in stock on back order. But we have this new app that's helping us do the... Inventory. Inventory for like the packs that we, the 34 pack, the complete package. And then break it down into the individual items and subtract them from our inventory. So I don't know if I can pre-sell it and let you know that's sold out. I guess I'll figure it out. I haven't figured it out. All this little dabbing. Yeah, dab, dab, dab, but he's still rolling. All right, yeah. You wanna go second round on these? Do you want me to do a second round on that? No, he can finish. I thought it wasn't allowed. You can finish. Yeah, well, you can't. No, I'm gonna, yeah, right. You're right. I'm gonna do that. You're right, you're right.  Res and Dragon Studios says, hi, Kim and Garrett. Sorry I'm late. I had a meeting. Worm gets in the way, then down below. She says, work, not Worm. Worm's getting the way too. Like right after it rains and out on the sidewalk, you always get worms in the way. That's what I thought you meant. Your path was blocked by worms after the rain.  You're monical. Oh, well then that means, you know what that means? You're gonna have to have a top hat. Oh, I got one of those too. I have hats. Do we sell the eighth inch and 15 or 16 inch square? If you email us, I'll put it in the 15 or 16 inch square. Yes, so who was that? Tara, Tara, email us at supportacangemakeit.com. And we can do that for you. No problem, that's easy. Cassandra said, I hate worms on the cities sidewalk. What are you doing?  Eva says, we get snails on our stairs because they're wooden and dug into a dirt sidewalk. Oh, that is even grosser. I mean, yuck. Hannah wants to know if you're bald. He has right now. Yeah, shade my head. That's a personal question. All right, 135 viewing, only 59 thumbs up. Let's hit that like button. Oh, you guys are being slackers. Come on now. Let's see, can I see? 131 watching, yep, 59 thumbs up. Give us a quick little thumbs up. Takes two seconds, just click over there. Tickle, tink, tink.  Quick, we're having a race. Who can hit it faster? Oh, Tara, you're welcome. Book order rounds. She was asking about book order rounds. Yeah, we do book order rounds. All right, so let me do this for you. I think I'm caught up on my, oh, Renee's here, better late than never. Yes, ma'am. Always. I think I've caught everything. If I've missed your comment, just repeat it. I'm seeing what I think is, what I thought was playing in the other room, but I don't think it really is.  I think I need a little bit more heat. I went up to 75, all right, you guys. Thanks. I really couldn't tell who won. You guys are so fast.  Too close to call. Everybody wins. It's a tie. Harold Bieber says I've missed all the discussion and did Garrett get glasses. Garrett has had glasses. Garrett just said a few minutes ago, oh, I'm still wearing my glasses. Yeah, I forgot. But he got something in his eye. His eye is scratched and he can't, he's uncomfortable with his contact. So, he's just having to wear his glasses right now. He'll be all good for the cruise, right? You'll upset him. But if not, don't worry, he'll wear his monocle. Yeah, I have one good eye and then I'll wear a monocle. Monocles have it.  Let me get this out of the way. You know what I found out in my old age? The age gets everybody. Thought I was gonna escape it. You said that during the Super Bowl. What did you see, some football player? Oh yeah. I saw a football player and I was like, I don't wanna get this. It was one of the, oh, was it, big book guess or something like that? And I was like, oh my goodness. Yeah, I think that's who it was. Yeah, shish, Tom gets everybody. Everybody liked the Super Bowl, did everybody have a fun time? I went to my sisters and we were all having a great time and then Grace called. I knew, so she had to work Sunday night four to nine and I was like, okay, that'll be fine. Half time we'll be over.  And then I just knew she was gonna get released early because when I dropped her off at four, the parking lot was empty and you know it was only gonna get worse from there. But she called at seven and said, oh, they let me go early. So I had to come all the way back from my sister's house. But we did catch the halftime show. We literally, yeah, walked in the door and was ready, this show was getting ready to start. Can you tell what part of the Super Bowl we were watching? She was like, yeah, we made it back just in time for the halftime show. Well. And then the halftime show was over and her and Grace went back to their phones. I didn't want phones. No, I watched it. I watched it all the way, all the way. I mean, who would have thought? I really thought Kansas City wasn't gonna win. I mean, I was rooting for 49ers anyway, but I really just didn't think they were gonna pull it out. I really just didn't think they were gonna pull it out. I was so surprised. I really like, talk about waiting until the last minute.  You're trying to make it a good show. Yeah, that was definitely a show. Because it's bad boy. Cassandra Stinch, I'm a halftime person and enjoyed it. Yeah, thought San Francisco had it, right? I mean, I just thought San Francisco had it. I can't believe they pulled it out the end. I was pretty happy for Brock. I feel like I'm happy for Brock either way. Oh yeah, did a great job. Yeah, I thought you were not happy for it. Yeah, I was gonna say, are you? Set that aside. I was rooting for a meteor or a zero zero tie. Wow. My house guest was tracking Taylor all day. Oh right. I saw that earlier in the day. They actually showed on the news where her plane was over the ocean. Oh really? I am back. Yes. That's hilarious. Court size in the future. Yes, I think so, Anthony. Right now, I just have to order a much larger quantity to offer a court size. And we were still testing out whether this is gonna be something that we'll do for a long term. I'm assuming yes, but I wanted to see how well things sold so far. If you know anything about scaled agile, we're testing out our value stream and then we're gonna increment improvements until we can get into DevOps. Yeah, here it's really, there you go. It's my nerd, it's my nerd for you. All right, so this one needs to be mint. This one needs to be teal. Then I think this is teal. You wanna hit those two? Do you guys? Mint. This needs to be purple. And I don't know, this needs to be purple. This needs to be teal, that's why I'm not. This is also teal. And what did you do pink? Oh, just for a little, for cute little bow in our hair. Maybe do a yellow, I don't have to yellow. And then this needs to be future step yellow. Okay, all right, what's happening?  Throw them away.  I really don't think you could use them more than once. Maybe, maybe twice, but that's not good. They get sloppy, yeah.  Green and purple. So you wanna just like maybe dab this guy? This green? Yes, this is wrong. A little green. All right, we're getting close, 4.49. We're approaching because of the clock. Christian Dupri's socks were a mess. I didn't see that, I don't know. You have to tell me about that. Oh, somebody said the peeps need glitter. Ooh, I'm pretty glittered out though. Not my personality, my cans. Your cans are empty? Yes, I got empty cans. Why are we using these and not the usual rollers? Because I just don't have any more in the room right now. I only had these sitting back here. This is what I send with paint kits and we happen to have some sitting behind us so I just grabbed one of these. That's the only reason why I'm using that. Otherwise, I would just make a yellow roller and keep it, but I didn't wanna leave to your room to the other room. Resident Dragon Studios says yes, glitter will make them look sugar coated. Oh, man, I don't see what I got. I feel like our mic is better than usual. The peeps glittered gives it that sugary crystal look. I did it at a workshop. Perfect. Up, woodworking just joined. Hey, hey, it's been a while. How's everyone doing? I want it out there. Oh, here's where Alan asked if we were gonna blur the peeps. I am now. All right, I think I'm caught up. Up, you get another vote for glitter sugar. Glitter sugar, that's what they used to call me in college. I feel like, oh, here comes old glitter sugar. I can't wait for this. It needs to dry a little bit longer, but I don't need to make a ton for that. Here, I'm gonna take the peeps for a stroll. No, no, he needs another coat. I have a spray can of this. I'll give him a quick. No, of that yellow. Yes. Of that bright yellow. Not dark yellow. Look at this one. Promise. Okay, well, while he's gone, what do you guys want to know about Garrett? But I can tell you while he's not in the room. Let's talk Cruz. Anybody else want to talk Cruz? Since that's what's on my mind right now. I decided that the craft we're gonna, I know what crafts we're gonna do. They're not gonna be two hours long, so be prepared. Be prepared. I love board games. We're gonna play some games and I have some fun games for us to play that we could do prizes and stuff like that. I think that'll be fun. You guys can let me know. And if you're watching and you're going on the cruise, who's joining us for the excursions? Cause I see Helen's got her crew. We're battling excursion crews. Who else is gonna be there? I wanna know. I think Christian's gonna go on the same cruise. I mean, same excursions. Anyone else put the same excursions as us? Because we want fun people there. That's what makes it fun. More people, more the merrier. And then I don't know if Tanner's gonna go on the excursions. He might be hanging back at the boat. Holding down the fort for those that don't go on excursions. All right, what else have we got? Let me check the back or it might need a second coat. This thing looks really good after just one coat. I'm still gonna put a second coat on there. But it's looking great. Let's see what's happening. Excursions to the ruins and four wheeling. Oh, that's fun. Cassandra, next time I'll be joining you. Yeah, I hope so. More the merrier. Next time I'll know what to do.  So when you come back, you'll just have to tell everybody it was great. Next time it's gonna be even better. Know that it's gonna be even better because I'll have learned some things. And by the way, I'm still working on getting that F1, the laser onto the cruise. They haven't replied back, but they did. I did get a response to send a picture of the size. And we had to put a little ruler next to it so that they would know, like, I stood it next to us and then put a ruler next to it so they would get the gist of the size of this thing. Like it's just a little guy. It's just this little, it's like a little laser. I tried printer, but Garrett wouldn't let me do it. Who was it last time? Was it Chris?  And I was like, yeah, great. Let's do printer, but no, they weren't let me do it. That looks great. I love this color. Lisa Gallagher, we have hundreds of board games. So do I. I have a whole closet full of board games.  And when we moved back into this, into our old house last year, right now they're still in boxes. I don't have anywhere to put them. But the kids are moving out. So I'm gonna have a whole room of board games, right? Oh, yes. Oh, we have so many board games. That's what some, where was it? Who just said it? I lost it already. Oh, they're moving. The comments are moving fast. Moving up. Anyway, somebody on here just told me we have, oh here, Lisa said I have hundreds of board games. We also have hundreds of board games. Let's see what else. Shantel said we booked the same excursion in Costa Maya. So let's get it. Are they nice? Is that the salsa, the one? Salsa and salsa. I will get a spray tan and set up with some umbrella in my house. There you go. Join us. That's right, Mandy. Christian said he facetimer. A broadcast on station head Mandy during the tequila part. What was my first thought of Garrett when we met? Wow. I thought Garrett was just going to be somebody I could hang out and kill time with on a Sunday night. We went on our first date on a Sunday night and I was like. That way. You know, who might be entertaining? Cause his profile was so funny. Because that way, yeah. Like that, I think. That's what I was thinking when I saw it. Now don't we have, I see you've got silver glitter. Do we have white glitter? Didn't we? Do we not have white glitter anymore? Yeah. Okay. Well, I still think that looks good. Hold it up higher so they can see. Slow it down. I don't know if you guys can really see. Brick glitter, trust me. Oh my goodness. Why am I seeing myself paint yellow? I haven't touched yellow in a long time. Somehow I got behind I think. Okay. I'm back on back. Ooh, you could do embossing powder.  I like that idea. Of what is embossing powder? I have to show you from scrapbook. Is this the embossing powder you speak? I used it with scrapbooking. What does it do? You melt it so you put it on there like a powder and you use a heat gun and it kind of melts and bubbles up. Really? Mm-hmm. I have some I could show you. Do you think we'd be able to laser it? So it would melt and bubble in places. You mean like the... Yep. What is that powder called? The powder coat? Like for cars? Is that what it is like for cars? Is that dry? I literally just put a second coat on that. Oh well, it's too late. I'm in now. Going in. I didn't know. Not quite. You're in if. Not quite. I'm gonna clean this look I have real quick. That's about all you needed for that. That's not too bad. Did a pretty good job on those little peeps. Been doing it for a while now. Christian said he is loving the wider overhead. Yeah, you can see everything on the table now. Mandy makes that, says, guys, I just got into my first market of the season. It's in 30 days. Ooh, good luck. What's your brand? I have a zero product that's not Christmas. The sign is perfect. Did Garrett paint that peep of darker yellow? Yeah, Garrett did and I told him not to. No, it was like it's how the glitter affects the paint. It's really, it's really weird glitter. It doesn't affect like purple or blue as much as it really affects that yellow. It's quite peculiar. All right, I'm on like three coats of yellow, just so you guys know.  Should have put the white behind it. Yeah. Only if you wanted to pop. And I need a little bit of peach. Let me have a peach roller. A little peach from you. I'm gonna lean over you. No to lasering the embossing. Oh, there we go. Somebody's tried it. Well, or maybe you looked it up. You know how I feel about looking stuff up? Now I gotta prove it. Yeah, Mandy, you'll do great. You'll never feel fully prepared. Yeah, I agree. I mean, we still don't either. All about iterations. Man, he says I always seem to put myself in these situations. Well. So does Kim. Yeah. Well, you just gotta jump in, figure it out. Oh, Whitcombe Woodworking says I also changed my name to this, this is Big Scooby. Oh, what's up, Big Scoob? He loves Big Scoob. Eva says, congrats, I just ordered my logo stamp and I'm waiting for it to come in so I can brand packaging and then sign up for my first market with PIXA product. Nice. Do we ship to Canada? Yes. Will there be another cruise Zoom call? Yes, Ingrid, but I forgot to do that. So let me schedule it. That's not Ingrid, that's Inchaching. Oh, did she do a name? Yeah. Inchaching. I love it. Christian says what they've been doing shows for years and are still not properly prepared. This year, we cut down on smaller shows and are stocking up for larger festivals. Us too. Yes, same. Cassandra said, jump in and swim. That's right, jump in and swim. The water's fine, come on in. All right, let's see, hold on. You got, I wanted to touch this. You got it. Yeah, I'm too fast. I'm gonna go get her. You are that. At Christian, maybe you can suggest types of items for a mid-March show. My next is mid-April. Well, I'll give you my suggestions. Don't go heavy on St. Patrick's Day. You can bring like one. Do you want it like this? If it's before or after, I mean before. Like stacked or famed? Well, they're not two different colors. Or famed, but it creates a shadow. Don't do it yet. Let's flip this in, let me see. So I just didn't know if it would get too busy with all that going on to the left. Flip it out. I'm looking at it on the screen. I say like that. Stacked. Stacked. Ooh, Trudy wants to know, are we planning to go live on Facebook or YouTube during the cruise? At least we can see you guys enjoying yourselves. I don't know, that's a good idea. I hadn't thought about that, Trudy. Oh, so back to the March one. Did you know that Easter is the last weekend in March this year? So it's early. So I would definitely bring Easter signs. And then I would move on at that point. You could have a few of the, it depends on how many you're bringing here. I don't know how big your show is, but I would do a few spring ones at that point, but mostly move on to summer. People will be looking for summer in all season.  Get your dogs out. Oh, get your dogs out. Do we, did you have any in between? Should I get it? Nice. Nice. Let me hit this yellow again. Sorry, I'm doing 10 things at once here. Is that yellow? I thought that was gonna be teal. Oh, that one's teal. Dab a peach, hold up. It's two weeks before the Easter. I was thinking five to eight seasonal items and heavy spring, Mother's Day and Father's Day. Mother's Day, I mean, people will buy, if it says Mother's Day, they're not really gonna buy that because they can only hang it for one day. So, and at that point- I don't even like little items though. Yes, if it signs, I would go, like people would buy something like this maybe for mom or anything springy, that daisy. People love buying these things for mothers. This is gonna go here. Our biggest customer are people that have moms. Truth.  Great, Kim, do it. Still have moms? I didn't say that, I said. Our biggest customer are people that have moms. You're being funny. That you're being funny. Oh my goodness, I just love these colors. How fun is this? Really showcasing these little spring colors. That was the whole, that's exactly what I wanted to do. Oh, that doesn't go there. Nope, where is that one going? Over this way. Yeah, they're gonna go down here I think. Oh, it goes in this one. I don't know, it's all good. This is gonna go in here. Look at this thing coming together, so cute. You can put these together, let me clean up the edges. Hold on guys, I'm gonna chat with you in just a second. It's glue time, it's quiet. Yeah, always happens. Stop. Glue time. Don't pee on the floor, Kim. You wanna line these up so you know where they go? Yeah, that's all right, I'll wait for the other layer. Take it. Now, what else can we put on this sign?  A chick? Yeah, like... A chick. To make it Eastery besides peeps, what else can we put on there? Did anyone do this sign in red and black? Like I did one design that was like a mini mouse or something, did that scheme. There you go, sorry. I was just looking at the screen and I was like, great, this design doesn't have a mess in it. It has me. A peep, just one peep. Cute. Alan wanted to know if you were playing with the pee. Oh, Easter gnomes, that's a great idea. Little gnomes to go up there, that would be cute. Oh, gnomes, that would be cute. Helen said that's exactly what I'm doing, mini mouse after being back from the Disney trip. Yes. Yeah, I did it in black, white and red, I'm sure. You've got it all figured out, but... Wait, she just got back from the Disney trip? I think she just got back from a Disney trip. You could do a friends-themed Easter one with a chicken and a duck. Oh, that's cute. You'd have to have Maurice on it. It's the only reason I watched the show. I don't even know what that means. You don't know who Maurice is? Mm-mm. Did you watch the Friends? What song did Garrett decide to use? He hasn't decided yet. I'm so torn. He has been all over the place with it. He has not decided what song, but I told him, I was like, you know what, we don't even have to go long lyrics, song lyrics. We could do an inspirational quote. I saw that in the shape of something, so he may end up doing that. Where did you... Yeah, if you're on Discord, I'm gonna look at my example that I posted. And that's kind of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to show two techniques of putting text in a shape, like a paragraph in a shape, and then like a title in a shape to show you how to do it. But I'm trying to keep it like nondescript. Oh, Christian says he's doing a steamboat Willie Mickey sign. Oh, fun. Oh, yeah. Whatchamacallit's up on that, right? Copyright. Game on. Yeah, right, game on. Bunnies would be cute. Yeah, some little bunnies. Here you guys go. Look at that. Look at all the pieces. That is all the pieces. That's everything. All right, that looks pretty good. Look at, I think you just won the battle of the colorway. It happened right here, live. Do you wanna go forward? So are we gonna wait a second? Wait a second. Which other one? We gotta put something else up here. And then Lori, did you hear Lori? I don't know if you were in the room when she was saying she thinks that next time we do this or next month we should have an unseen sign. And with no color, we just let everybody do their own unique color schemes. Put it out there, line art. Before it. Line art, that's it. Like a coloring book page. Do you wanna hold one of the others now? No. Why? Why am I gonna hold a hamburger when I'm obviously holding a steak right here? What else is happening here? Cassandra have to work on mastering discord. It is very easy once you get in there. Helen's big tip for everyone. And I agree wholeheartedly. Start on your laptop. Start on the desktop app rather than your phone. And then you got it from there. Yeah, the phone just dumps you into general. There's a whole other world out there outside of the general channel. Oh, hi honey, that's cute. Hi honey. A poo bear. Oh, hi honey, that's poo. A poo bear on this one. We can easily make these some hexagons. Hi honey. Mm-hmm. That's a good one. I'm gonna write down. Steal on that one. And poo bear, you can do this on a poo bear one. Poo bear, an old poo bear. That would be cute. He's up for grabs now too, right? Old poo bear. That's what Mandy makes us at. Hi honey, with honeycomb and bees. Yeah, with honeycomb. All right, all right. So what do you guys think? If you haven't done your version, throw your hat in the rain. Yeah, go ahead and cheat it up. You know, when you pass go, click $400. That's what I would do. Yeah, she's always the banker. I am always the banker. She always wins too. It's very peculiar. Huh. Great minds think alike, Garrett said my idea. Yes, he did it through honeycomb. Yep. That's what happens. A snarky poo bear. Oh snarky poo bear. Done early for once at 5.15. All right, well I'm about at a time. I have some enchiladas I gotta go finish. And you gotta get back to work. So we will see you on Friday, where I'm coming up with the design tonight. We're getting close. We got an idea.  Yep, I'm thinking it might be something ludicrous now. Yeah, it's from the Super Bowl. Yeah, I saw a bunch of clips of old men getting crazy and rapping ludicrous on the TikToks. Well, and I saw all the moms doing it with Usher. I didn't know how big it was. And then I suggested he do a Taylor Swift song. I mean, why not do a Taylor Swift song with everything going on? I love ludicrous. He made a BMX movie. Now I love ludicrous. All right, we will see you guys on Friday. Actually, we'll see you tomorrow night during the Zoom call. Oh, monthly Zoom call.
