Update! Mid-June 2026

Hey, my CRO-ME's!

 

I have some exciting things coming up, but I need a bit of a boost to seal the deal!

 

I have a spot in Santa Fe Trail Days in Trinidad, CO - a 3 day outdoor festival, with music, rides, 5k-6k visitors, and it is in it’s 2nd year. I have gotten 2 10x10 spaces, and have a yellow canopy tent to really stand out with branding.

 

However, with all this excitement comes miscellaneous additional expenses - I am short on tables, but! I messaged someone about a $20 art storage piece of furniture, and chose to ask if they had any folding tables since they were moving and said they needed to get rid of everything.

 

They have THREE! And guess what? They are giving them to me for FREE! 😀

 

I am hoping to sell a few more original works of art from my online Garage Sale on cromeinc.com every Sunday - but, in case not - donations are also really helpful, and so grateful to those of you who bought a work of art last month! I need some sales this month too! And, hopefully SOON!

 

Being a solo entrepreneur is tough - but so much easier when I have people who believe in me, support me, and want to see me succeed. I cannot thank you enough.

 

These next few weeks I really need to raise at least $1500k to pay off the rest of my electric, my rent coming up on the 24th, and to pay my storage unit 3 months past due. Plus, I need chairs! I still hope to get folding chairs at $8/each from a local here, but that’s just another $100 I don’t have right now - but NEED before Santa Fe Trail Days. Things are pressing right now, but I know that things will soon become better!

 

I will also be needing gas when it comes to this month for the markets, and luckily went last week to scoop up a table, 4x4 posts, and more from the tinyCROME build site.

 

All of this hustle is to provide peace, stability, and comfort for myself, and my pack. I am not looking to be rich, I just want to be comfortable where I can survive off of my artwork, my workshops, events, and/or exhibits that I curate once I nab my own place again.

 

…This journey is far from over, but it is definitely becoming a bit sunnier on the horizon…even if the storm clouds are over me currently - I am staying optimistic and positive that even with all this struggling, that it is paving the way for me…it’s teaching me lessons, and introducing me to people I want in my circles. The unsubscribes are from people who never truly cared, so that is okay too. I am finally finding my people and couldn’t be more grateful for my small circle of genuine folks that CARE.

 

SO! Thank you for staying, thank you for cheering me on, and thank you for being in my corner. Hoping you all will continue with me on this journey by helping me reach the next plateau.

As well as a new Patreon for CROMEcreate that I plan to offer still screen tutorials, and eventually online workshops, plus much more. Coloring pages and books will be slowly released and revealed at the upcoming markets. Tiers are still being worked on, as I have a very full plate right now 😀

As of right now, I have literally zero money, zero expected, and really need some help right now. My phone and wifi are next to be shut off in 3 days. It’s only $100. Elec/Water is next. $400.

 

This is not a drill, or made up…I am literally hustling every day, without any daily income to simply, and hopefully make it. Help me make all of this into a reality. <3
