What people don't understand that you obviously do, is that there is enough money out here for all of us especially if we are Believers of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Power of His Holy Spirit. I pray God's richest blessings on you, your finances and your health. Thanks again for sharing Sis. you have encouraged me to do this. I will be purchasing that t-shirt, it's one of my favorite scriptures. 1st Thessalonians 4:11😊

It’s the one where I talk about the Amazon finds for your t-shirt shop ☺️. & as far as the tshirt quantity, I would say about 10-12 per size. For ex, 12 smalls, 12 medium, etc. You want to see how they will sell first before committing to inventory you know?
