When I grow up, im going to be a jewelry seller 😁 so much more fun to ship than big breakables! ( I love the bragging about tissue paper Hahaha) 👍Miss you, can’t wait to see you guys! ♥️♥️♥️
Me too my sweet friend. I have a surgery coming up at the beginning of June but it should be less than a month recovery's time and I'm crossing my fingers that it helps with my pain :)
Mellissa, it was so fun watching you discover the various ribbons, stickers, and other items Kim sent you. She was so thoughtful and generous, and you so surprised and excited!
Right? I was seriously shocked. Kim did an amazing job in packaging them so and she clearly knows me well. I'm so excited to start using them in my shipping videos. (Which should be this coming Sunday.)
I am out of the Ebay cards right now but have them on my website. I will be getting more as soon as Vistaprint sends them (fingers crossed that it is this week!)
Hi Mellissa. I love your videos. I always get giddy when a new one comes up! I have been reselling for about 1.5 years now and my inspiration was your mom. Watching her videos convinced me to move forward and resell. I then discovered your videos and I love them. I love your honesty and your genuine demeanor. You are so real and I love that. You mentioned in one of your recent videos that you would consider doing an instruction ROLLO printer video. Would you please consider doing that? I have had so many issues with label printers. I do have a MacBook Air which could be the issue but I have returned three printers already because I just couldn't figure out how to set them up. I have heard that the Dymo does not play nice with Mac Computers but Im hoping that maybe Rollo does. Would you consider doing a demo video? Thank you and Love your Videos!!!
Thank you so very much Doreen! Isn't my mom wonderful? She is even more impressive in real life too! She works so hard and I adore her. It make take me awhile to see if I can order and set up a Rollo shipping video but I don't have an Apple computer so it may be different. Let me check YT for you to see if anyone else has already made a video that might be helpful :)
Hi Mellissa! Love watching your videos. They are so calming for me. Can you please put the link for those little white bakery boxes with the clear window that you used? Also, just an FYI... your Amazon link says that page couldn't be found. Maybe it's just a temporary glitch but just thought you should know. Hope you and Bare continue to do well and God bless!!!
Sure! Here is the link for the white boxes: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BSDXL524/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thank you for telling me something is wrong with the link. I'll check on it today :)
There are SO many brands. Is there any in particular that you liked? It seems like they have come from Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Michaels, possibly Joanns, and I'm guessing many more.
I don't remember this video as it was filmed about two weeks ago. The water by me is a river and then we have the gulf just a few miles down the road. We do have many, many canals though and a lot of homes are build directly on them :) I live on the gulf of FL and so there is SO much water. The land is mostly sand and we are mere feet above water.
❓❓❓Hi Mellissa, a question for you, please. You mentioned a package weight of 15.8 and you rounded up to a pound. In the old days would that have been considered First Class? Would that have been bumped up to Priority at 1lb? I never know what to do with a package weight that falls between 15 ounces and 16 ounces (1lb.) I guess with Ground Advantage it doesn’t matter anymore and you round up to 1lb? I’m sure I’m making it harder than it has to be. Your advice and/or explanation on how you would handle it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Kathy
15.8 and 16.0 are the same in the eyes of the USPS. Now, 16.1 oz falls into the 2lb category but I'm not sure how specific they are. Honestly, an once could be from moisture after you ship it so I'm guessing they don't always charge extra for that one once. I hope that helps!
Hi Mellissa. I’m having a printer issue. I have the Dymo 450 Turbo and use the same size label as you (2x7). For a while it printed the labels perfectly. Now it’s very small on the label. I’ve checked the size and even watched both your older videos to try and fix the problem. Any suggestions?
There are a few solutions and so I'm going to go through them one by one: 1. When you are on the Ebay page where you enter the dimensions/weight, make sure you have the 2x7 size selected on the lower right hand side. 2. When you are on the print page and the pop up comes up, hit properties and then hit advanced. Make sure the label is 99019 (it is on the bottom of the list). The custom size should be 100%. I hope that helps! If not, please feel free to email me: bloominclothing@gmail.com and I can help you troubleshoot from there. I'll need screenshots of what you are seeing. I have an HP and so, if you have an Apple, the steps might be slightly different.
Sounds like your birds may be Sandhill Cranes! Are they light gray with a little red on their head? I live in Indiana and right in their migratory path. I love seeing them fly over every spring and fall.😃
YES! They are Sandhill Cranes. Wow! I'm so impressed by your knowledge of birds. Most do have red on their beaks (except the babies) and they are LOUD when they want to be. They always startle me and then crack me up. Our community has a FB page and so I see lots and lots of photos of them and their baby, who the community nicknamed Valentine, growing and enjoying all of the ponds and lakes here!
Hey mellissa be careful refunding shipping, make sure you don’t cut into your profit. eBay takes a percentage of the entire sale including the shipping
Have you ever considered some of the wrapping paper at The Dollar Tree? They have some beautiful prints , and has very good quality for wrapping the little gift boxes of jewelry. Yes I know you love JR tissue paper! Plus it comes on a roll, so there are no bends like the sheets.
I adore Dollar Tree and their wrapping paper. Currently I have about 1000 feet of wrapping paper that I need to get through before I even tempt myself with new prints though. I'm trying so hard to get through the prints I bought years ago before I bring more into the house. haha!
I wish I could. International shipping is costly, takes so long sometimes, and Ebay won't insure international packages if the item is lost. I have had some bad luck shipping international so now I just go through a third party service.
You make your buyers feel special .😊
I love watching you! You are so calm!

Yay! My order finally made a video! Love watching as I go to sleep!
YAY happy to see you posting so much lately
Wow, what a nice gift ! I can’t wait to you uses some.
I was the Robert cards to Iowa. The package was so beautiful and fun to open. I enjoyed seeing u pack it. ❤Kathlene 😊
Thank you so very much Kathlene! I truly appreciate you!
What a generous and thoughtful viewer is Kim! I’m sure you’ll use every ribbon with joy!❤
She truly is!
I think you are set for life with ribbon!!
Right? I'm guessing at least for a year! I'm thrilled :)

The Video Colour is Brilliant & you look so well x ❤😊
Thank you so much for saying that Sue!
So happy to see you again!! I’m so glad you’re feeling well! All the ribbons and things were so much fun to see! 💙💙
I will be checking your eBay store for business cards . Thank you for the video.

Kim really knows how to pack a filled box. Sooo many goodies for you to use I am very impressed with the variety...so many choices now!
Hi twinsie💕💕💕
“I don’t want that now or ever “ 🤣🤣

Hi Mellissa. What is the width of most of your ribbons. Thanks for the videos.
I would say most of my personal ribbons are about 1/4". The ones that was I sent by Kim are 1/4" to 2-3"! They are so nice!
Is there a brand name on that rainbow ribbon? I love it. and I always enjoy your videos.
There are SO many brands. Is there any in particular that you liked? It seems like they have come from Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Michaels, possibly Joanns, and I'm guessing many more.
@@freshbloominclothing it was the rainbow ribbon that you used for the first part of your video.
Is the waterway a canal?
I don't remember this video as it was filmed about two weeks ago. The water by me is a river and then we have the gulf just a few miles down the road. We do have many, many canals though and a lot of homes are build directly on them :) I live on the gulf of FL and so there is SO much water. The land is mostly sand and we are mere feet above water.
Ebay has a glitch right now. Verify your buyers address because ebay is shipping to original address instead of present address
Good tip! Thank you so much!

I’m wondering if all that ribbon was manufactured by Berwick Offrey? I used to live near their plant in Berwick, Pa. Maybe Kim works there.
Very cool! Some is manufactured by Berwick Offrey and others aren't. She did an AMAZING job in packaging and selecting the ribbon for me though!
