Hi ,

When I was a kid I loved April Fool's Day. My brother and I tried to outdo each other with pranks. One year he hid a big black rubber spider under my pillow and when I found it I screamed bloody murder, much to his delight. So I decided to keep the rubbery thing, and I kept it for the whole year, waiting for next year's April Fool's Day. Then I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for him at lunch time, and stuck that spider right in the middle of the sandwich. Eventually he took a bit in the right place and half the spider hung out from the peanut butter - he took one look and yelled at the top of his lungs! The year was worth the wait, ha!

One thing I don't like to wait on is having live conversations with people. I like being live with people because I love the conversation and the questions, the back-and-forth. Here's where you can find me live over the next week. If you want to bookmark that page I'll do my best to keep it updated. :-)

I'm experimenting - some FB live, some Clubhouse, some Instagram live. Which do you like to do most? It might help me decide my future schedule! (Just hit reply and give me a sentence.)

I haven't talked much lately about Canva and the zillion uses my team finds for it. We are still making very heavy use of Biz Template Babe's many templates and "finds" on Canva - she just released a huge "spring and Easter" collection. You can check her designs out and grab a free one using my affiliate link, see if it's for you. I can't tell you how much time and energy her templates have saved us. A few mornings ago I created an infographic in less than 15 minutes for travelers who want to explore Austin, Texas using a template, in fact.

TIP: If you have several brands be sure to set up your brand colors in Canva for both brands and you can easily flip back and forth - if you need a piece rebranded simply flip to the second brand colors on the design. Make sense??

We set up all the new graphics for suepainter.com in Canva, too! The templates really are a workhorse for us!

To your sweet success, no foolin'....
