Just three things this week because holy guac on nachos has it been busy this month!

Fun Fact:​
Do you remember the eaaaarly days of Facebook when it asked you what your 'favorite quote' was (among other things)?

The absolute very first one I added was about a life-sized copper duck animatronic that could flap it's wings, 'eat & drink', and 'digest' the food. The inventor, Vaucanson, wanted to prove to people that his automata had value and weren't just silly little play things. Voltaire, a philosopher, made a sarcastic quip (which I imagine was complete with an eye-roll) stating "Without...the duck of Vaucanson, you would have nothing to remind you of the glory of France."

This phrase later was further turned into "without the sh*tting duck [...]" which is what I learned in my philosophy course and could not stop giggling about. I don't know why it popped into my head again, but I thought maybe you'd get a giggle from it, too.

Getting Support:​
I haven't really made any real push for my membership in a while, and especially since I updated it to be a 1:1 asynchronous Q&A membership. I'm still kind of working out the kinks because what I wanted to do and what was actually working became two different things.

At the moment, my preferred method for communication is through Discord, but so far we've mostly connected through email (honestly, I'm super flexible here!). Right now, it's $7/month as we are still navigating our sweet spot, but I do have plans to increase the price in the future. You can find Made Legit in my shop and if you join now, your price won't change.

Getting Ready:​
I have spent the last few weeks updating and adding so much in my shop. I've updated all the listings for testing, handmade product audits, and certificate write up services and, at the same time, added new importer product audits and an importer-specific write up service. (Oh! I also updated my Children's Clothing Checklist and it is sooooo much better, 20 pages better!)

This has been in preparation to get my shop looking and feeling better for Cyber Week when I know people will be popping in to see what's going on. My goal is to get a few more things updated for 2026 and make a few bundles so people can do a quick 1-click buy and continue their shopping everywhere else.

Is there anything specific you've been eyeballing? Any checklists, books, or templates that you've been thinking about?
