Sending boxes of tealights off for customer orders, late at night. It’s what you do for your side hustle, out in those extra hours.

Crafty people! That is everyone but me. No skill at all, that’s why I’m just nice to people, to make up for my non-existent craft skills. To be fair, I can cook a mean fruit cake, which sad because not many people like fruit cake these days.
