As I finally feel my interest and energy for driving deliveries hither and thither around town all day (many days each week)… waning…

And now that I am apparently all the way detoxed off of FB -ie. it’s not the first thing I open in the morning, and sometimes it’s days before I remember to … and then it feels effort-full; I don’t stay for more than a couple minutes (only took 6 or so years 🙄 - whenever I started the Planet Andrea locals community would be when I finally got serious about my exit)…

I seem to be thinking more and more of creative projects again. Instagram helps to stir that pot the best for me, usually.

Though the danger of IG doomscrolling (happily, but nonetheless 🤓) is real - I get soooo lost there.

But something (someone) I bumped into today gave me a lifeline to leave the platform and ultimately brought me here to share my discovery with you.

It’s a tiny ezine for printing ☺️ - or inspiring… should you become more interested in making one than really taking in the content of this one like I have (I think 🤔- time will tell).

I printed out page 5 of 6 only (the rest are directions etc…)

And then cut where the directions said to cut (around the edges and then one slit to make it foldable - like a very mini origami) — I could stand to practice the folding part.

Et voila, a thing in real life is born. Something people can carry around with them.

Transferred from wherever to wherever else through the interwebs. Digitally delivered analog.

Which was the theme of this IG account - to be a catalyst for wonder irl, so she was successful I would say. :)

Can I find my way back to that account? Beats me.

But here’s the thing (and why I chose here to post this), she - and others I ran across today - are cleverly using two web tools to offer an opportunity for me possible find my way back.

First - is ManyChat. It’s a tool that auto DM’s whatever it is you want to point people to when they comment with a customized keyword.

You know how some IG videos will say “comment the word xyz to get the thing” and an instant comment reply and DM comes next? That’s the tool this gal used. There are others these days I believe, but that’s the OG one.

And second, there was an Optin page layer that added me to her autoresponder mailing list - on the other side of that was the ezine pdf to download. Or maybe the link was in email (which unfortunately landed in Spam, but that’s a hiccup for another day to ponder or whatever)

Anyhoo - here’s the final product and a link to the printable if you’d like to try your hand.

Hopefully, it leads back to her IG ‘cause I’m beyond going to look for that link 🤭

Whatcha think? Cute eh?

What would be in one you’d make or like to have handy?

I’m considering an HD one so I can appropriately drop it into Planet Andrea (and then share this post’s link too perhaps) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Time will tell.

Mwah.

🩷 Andrea 😘
