Banjoflannel's Profile

Bio

When I'm not braving the tumultuous winter seas as a New England deckhand, I can be found in Montana at a small ranch where underprivileged children come to learn the ways of wilderness survival and make souvenir belt buckles. In my "off" time I enjoy home-canning and categorizing my cereals. I also spend much of my time attempting to revive the art of petal-pushing; it is one thing to press a petal, it is another to push it.

Truthfully, I am a girl in my twenties that has always enjoyed art and "making things". So, I finally decided to try and sell some of it instead of letting it sit around my house. My business hypothesis is that if I like it, maybe someone else will also. I have a full-time job so I squeeze projects in when I can. I am very grateful for finding such a great website as ETSY where selling and buying handmade things is so easy and simple.

Words of Wisdom 7.13.07: There is no shame in eating the skin of a baked potato. Let your dinner compatriots stare and scoff if they wish. Remind yourself that you’re doing your part to ensure that the potato did not die in vain; especially when it tastes so good with cheese and sour cream.

Words of Wisdom 4.2.78: Upon purchasing frozen waffles, do not dawdle concerning their placement into your freezer. Should they become thawed, ensure that they refreeze on a flat surface. Otherwise, your precious misshapened waffles may toast unevenly resulting in unsightly burns and possibly untasty flavor.

Words of Wisdom 4.38.11: It is best to insist that all meals be macaroni-adjacent.

Words of Wisdom 8.3.11: Any day that involves eating a burrito can usually be considered a pretty good day.

The ORIGINS OF MR. #1 HAPPY GUY:

It began in the 1980’s when neon pink had its heyday and “thumbs up” were plentiful. You didn’t have to search hard to find it on T.V., in the home, at the grocery store and anywhere people were “doin’ fine”. Then in the 1990’s, America became too cool for the “thumbs up”. It became an endangered species so scarce it was reserved only for European breath-mint commercials and sometimes exhibited discretely among friends and relatives. That is where Mr. #1 Happy Guy comes along and says, “Hey, I’m taking back the ‘thumbs up’ and spreading it all across the U.S. of A.” It’s a new century and about time we remember the value of the “thumbs up” and stop hiding our love of corny camaraderie. We no longer have to give ourselves a “thumbs up” in the mirror just to fill the void of affirmation in our hearts. Mr. #1 Happy Guy is there to nudge us along, give us encouragement and reassure us that, yes, we are in fact doin’ fine.
